That's in the constitution. As far as minority party subpoena powers, so sorry, that was in the old rules before the REPUBLICANS changed them! So cry me a river on that one. Very short sighted of them. The "legal" letter was not a legal letter. It was a political letter basically saying that in the U.S. system the president is not subject to congressional oversight. That's ultimately what this is going to be about. Do Americans want to give presidents now and in the future full dictator powers or will we continue respect the founders design -- that CONGRESS is a coequal power with the executive. If we end up with presidents having dictator powers, say ba-bye to American democracy. REAL conservatives, REAL republicans don't want to have presidents have dictator powers. Would they want Elizabeth Warren to have dictator powers? 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites

"legal letter". Yeah, right. This letter isn't worth the paper it's written on. It offers only the most fleeting and spurious legal opinion - It's mainly one long whiney Trump-like tweet. Invoking a 1950's case, Watkins vs. United States, which is not even close to this situation, and is thus a joke. Simply saying something is illegitmate and unconstitutional is hardly a valid legal precedent, nor does it make something "true". By the way, I am handsome.

Several points... Joe Biden is not the President Joe Biden is not the subject of an impeachment inquiry Joe Biden was fulfilling his duties as VP, in full view, with the backing of the U.S. and many, many partners, in getting corrupt prosecutor removed. This "story" has been fully debunked. Joe Biden used his position lawfully. Trump appears to have acted illegally, for his own personal benefit. That said, I'm sure that the president will cooperate with the investigation as he did nothing wrong? 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites
