Obstruction Of Congress?

[Leo123]

That's why we elected Trump!!!! It's called Separation of Powers. The President of the U.S. is a check against a runaway Legislative Branch. This is not a high crime and misdemeaner. Unless you want to rescind the Constitution. Which Democrats are trying to do.

If filing suit in federal court to fight a congressional subpoena is a "High Crime", then B. Hussein O and his Wing Man Eric Holder are as guilty as hell too.

Maybe they need to be picked up for these crimes, alert the FBI to pick him up at his golf club on Oahu.

the constitution gives the president the 'power of the Veto' as his only check on the legislative Branch.... congress.

the legislative branch of our government, congress.... is who represents ''we the people'', all of our power to rule ourselves is vested in the house of representatives... NOT the president, not the senate....

when you argue to make the president and executive branch stronger, and to weaken the House, you are taking your own power and representation and right to govern ourselves, AWAY FROM US.

PLEASE reconsider your hurtful and harmful to us American citizen's right, to govern ourselves.

What bullshit! No one branch is stronger than the other. The President can go around the congress Obama proved that.

The framers rejected the parliamentary system where the president is just a figurehead.
The US co-equal system requires the judiciary to break ties when the President and Congress disagree.
All three branches form the government "of the people".
You seem to imply that the House is the "primary" governing body, which I strongly disagree with.

The house of representatives directly represents The People in government and was tasked with oversight of the executive. Why is this a controversial issue?

What's the big deal? Congress has been obstructing everything Trump has proposed for 3 years but he still got plenty of things accomplished. The only thing Dems. are really obstructing are themselves. What have they accomplished? NOTHING. The American people are tired of Democrats submarining our economy, our law enforcement officers, our religion, our foreign policy, our immigration system and just about anything else you can think of in their effort to make Trump look bad. They're all like that anti American idiot, Bill Maher, who was actually hoping for a recession to make Trump look bad. .

Apparently a Democrat Congress is "more equal" than a Republican president

The president is not king. The people have a right to know what the president is doing.

It's time to quit pretending what the end goal is for republicans. Just say you want a king who is unaccountable to the common rabble.

Because that not the entire story. He has to operate within a system that has placed limits on his power or face the consequences of trying to be a king.

All 3 work together as equal branches, the congress is our direct representation.... we have representatives that we choose, via direct vote.

And no, the supreme court is there simply to determine what is or is not, constitutional..... not to decide partisan fights, is my understanding?

 

[Care4all]

Congress is article1, most important to We The People,

The president is article 2, 2nd of importance

Separation of powers means oversight

Trump is not a dictator

 

[Care4all]

The SC made a HUGE mistake deciding BUSH V GORE...... when the States had a means to settle the tie....And/or make the decision through procedure.

 

[Care4all]

The founders, in an initial draft discussion and debate, had Congressmen, choosing our President....

But thought that could be too partisan, so Madison and Hamilton created the electors, one for each congressman in each state, and 2 electors to represent each state's 2 Senators.......

Making the electoral college

The House is NOT the Executive's boss.
Oversight basically means monitoring the Executive Branch to ensure that the Laws are being followed properly.
Oversight does NOT trump Article-2 power of the Executive.
The courts need to be used if there is a disagreement between co-equals.
Congressional oversight - Wikipedia
"Congressional oversight includes the review, monitoring, and supervision of federal agencies, programs, activities, and policy implementation.[1] Congress exercises this power largely through its congressional committee system."

The president is article 2, 2nd of importance

That's a stretch saying that Article-1 is more powerful than Article-2.
Congress and the Executive are co-equal branches.
The judiciary settles disagreements.
