« on: December 01, 2019, 07:14:24 AM »Article I. Congress makes the laws. Congress can impeach the president and remove him from office. The president can't remove anyone from office.That is NOT what you said. You said under the Constitution Congress oversees the executive.
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 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.
