Article I.  Congress makes the laws.  Congress can impeach the president and remove him from office.  The president can't remove anyone from office. 

Also, Article II, the president is required to report to Congress, not the other way around.

Again, you have your nose pressed up against a tree and miss the forest.
That is NOT what you said. You said under the Constitution Congress oversees the executive.

That is false, and if that’s what you learned in law school, you should demand a refund.

This is what Article II Section 3 days about “reporting:”


“He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment, he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed, and shall commission all the officers of the United States.”

Period.

And the ability to Impeach is just that. It does NOT give Congress the right to “oversee” the Executive branch. 

Yet you and every leftist lawyer seem to claim that the Legislative branch has oversight and dominion over the presidency. 

Congress can pass no law that gives it power or control over another branch beyond what is allowed by the Constitution.

And true to form, you have to take a jab at me for missing the forest. Why, because if the goal is to remove the president, all means are on the table? 

Typical leftist.

You are ignoring the forest for the trees.  Trump as prevented those who could directly  testify that he gave the order.  Trump is clever enough to hide behind the attorney client privilege and has done so throughout his career.  But we don't need to have a recording of Trump saying it as we know that Giuliani was working to make that happen and Trump told Sondlund, et al to work with Giuliani.  We also have Trump on the conversation memo for the July 25th phone call asking for "a favor" from the Ukrainian president.  Also, when Trump told Sondlund "no quid pro quo" he knew that the whistleblower had busted him and he was covering his ass.  The preponderance of the evidence is quite clear.
I think you’re suffering from irrational wishing for facts to support a fraudulent premise. The preponderance of evidence doesn’t exist, and has never existed. If it does, please advise the House Intelligence Committee, because they flopped and generated nothing but supposition, presumption, and inuendo. Such is not the “evidence” to impeach a sitting president.

As a lawyer, are you not disturbed that the federal rules of evidence were not followed in this impeachment process, where Adam Schiff acted like judge, prosecutor and jury without allowing the minority to call witnesses and even stifled the minority’s questioning?

With the most corrupt POTUS in at least the last three generations, we can be sure that there will be another scandal.  What it is, is anyone's guess.  If I were going to bet, I would bet it will have something to do with Russia.

Never-the-less, she is a human being and she is a pilot and the party line goes "everyone is welcome here".

Here's an idea; try to counter her position with facts and try to do that without using the words "pathetic" or "communist".  I know you can do it.  I have seen it two or three times from you.
Agreed. I can be a hot head at times, but I’d rather see spirited debate even with a Troll than listening to 7 call someone names.

This from someone who claims she is “Militantly moderate?”  Right.

I presume you have proof of such corruption?  I ask because the democrats and MSM have spent millions of dollars and three going on four years in investigating Trump, and have come up with exactly nothing.

Since you’re looking at a 30-year timespan, do you consider Obama weaponizing the DOJ and IRS to investigate Conservatives to be corrupt?  How about the Clintons, who used their Foundation to launder money for influence and personal gain?  (Read the book “Clinton Cash” if you haven’t heard this before.). Is that “corrupt” in your world?
No answers, Kristin?  Certainly you can back up your claims.

If you’re trying to be a troll, you have some work to do in that regard.

I thought the left didn’t care about ratings.
Somebody’s got to pay the bills to keep the lights on. Those people are called Carlson and Hannity.

I mistyped. I meant to say SCOTUS is supposed to keep an eye on  Congress.

The Pres too,  it I meant Congress.
Actually no there is no oversight of the respective branches in the Constitution, other than Congress can establish courts inferior to the Supreme Court.

Otherwise, oversight is NOT an enumerated power of the executive or legislative branches. That’s why Trump and his executive branch has zero responsibility to respond to congressional subpoenas.

Sorry I don't get my news from Alex Jones or Breitbart.

Were there evidence of such, which I have yet to see.  All i have seen is innuendo.

In my world what I want to see investigated is illegality.  Which Ukrainian laws are the Bidens accused of breaking?

I keep seeing this charge and have yet to see any evidence.  Just innuendo.  You guys re good at that.  The DOJ is supposedly investigating this stuff, so perhaps there will be some facts in evidence, not that little things like facts would sway any of you.

The vast majority of dirt the Democrats used on Trump were created by hisown fat self.  If you're referring to the Steel report, it was actually commissioned by Republicans.  The current imbroglio was also created by hisown self.

But whatever.  Everything Trump does is legal and brilliant, and anyone who dares criticize him is wrong, misinformed, and should be jailed forthwith.
Certainly your hero Adam Schiff brought his A game to the impeachment investigation, right?  Witnesses that are knowledgeable about relevant facts, right?

Well the answer is no. In fact, here’s the theme song for yesterday’s performances:

A vote to "Formalize an Impeachment Inquiry" doesn't equal a Vote For the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, but to NPR, I guess there is no difference.   You are really reaching and FAILING.
Flailing is more like it.

He just can’t be this stupid. He’s trolling. I hate feeding trolls.

The House voted to impeach?
Apparently so according to Steingar, who is bereft of facts and willfully ignorant. It must have been called the Orange Man Bad Resolution.

Coups usually involve guns, gentlemen.  This is accorded by the Constitution and is lawful.  Sorry you don't like it, but someone you don't like doing something you don't like doesn't mean anyone is breaking the law.
And sometimes they don’t. What is your point?

Please let me know where a coup is lawful in the Constitution. I can’t seem to find it.

What I DO see in the Constitution is that “the House of Representatives ... shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”  Not the Speaker. Not the chairman of a committee. Not one political party to the exclusion of the other. THE HOUSE.  What is happening right now is NOT impeachment as the House has not voted on impeachment.

A Realtor is by LAW required to present ANY offer you give, no matter how low.  He/She must present that offer on your behalf.  No question about it.  If they refuse, they are no only being unethical, but breaking the law.
Ultimately she did. I should modify my last sentence by saying that she didn’t WANT TO present it, and tried to influence me (through my wife) not to do it. She ultimately did present it though.

What irks me even more are those oversized, straight brim, baseball caps they wear cocked to one side like "gangstas". 

The author, "Dr." Mark Lamont Hill is a Far Left, Woke, SJW, formerly a professor here at Temple U. and a local Media Lib darling before he made it national appearing of Fox News and others to give the liberal viewpoint.  Somehow he then got a gig at Harvard.  I guess they wanted to appear even more WOKE.  He is a Racist piece of SH*T.
My daughter is occasionally on one of those dating sites.  She says whenever someone shows up online with those flat-brimmed caps, she immediately says “Nope!”
