This is completely false.Not an argument.
He wants admiration and he is a lazy person who can't/don't want to read. Being the president requires lots of reading, and he isn't admired much according to the polls. According to his own words, he HATES everyone at the White House. Not to mention that investigation thingy. Now what is your argument? Oh, you don't have one...
Market activity after Nixon resignation and Clinton impeachment?
- Thread starter Cuddles
- Start date
Still not an argument and you are factually wrong too. Also, are you doubting our president's own words? Here, I give you a homework for the weekend:
Look for the picture taken on election night. The one when the Trump camp got the word that Trump has just won. Report back what you saw...
There is so much division within the country it does not matter if Jesus was elected and his 12 Disciples were all Cabinet members, the Dems would still protest.
Ditto if Hitlery had won the election.
The problem is not Trump, it's the hate and lack of cooperation between the two parties and the Main Stream Media.
The funny thing is that people still think that there is a difference between the two parties and that the president runs the country.
The real thief was FDR who seized the gold during the Depression and bought it from the people at $29 an ounce. Then he set the price of gold at $35 an ounce 6 months later knowing he was going to do that when he took it from American citizens.
I know this is an old thread and Trump is not going anywhere.....but maybe this might help....
Impeachment and conviction is the only avenue against a sitting president. He cannot be tried for obstruction of justice. It is impossible for him to commit obstruction of justice anyway. He has authority to fire anyone he wants and to tell anyone he wants not to continue with investigations. It is well within his authority to do so and is not obstruction of justice. For goodness sakes, he can pardon anyone he wants at anytime and halt investigations and even if removed from office, his successor will pardon him. The President is basically above the law. --Pay attention--
You realize the whole notion on which this country is founded was to oppose a monarchy right?
You cannot impeach and convict a monarch. You can do that to a president. This is the only route barring an illness that can be used to remove a president. Nixon was well within his right to fire Archibald Cox and then resigned instead of being impeached. Notice how Mr Nixon was never charged with any crime. That's because it doesn't work that way. The president cannot be charged , or cannot commit , obstruction of justice. He/She IS justice.
The president cannot be charged , or cannot commit , obstruction of justice. He/She IS justice.
Wrong - a president can propose legislation, but they don't make up laws as they go along, maybe in a cartoon. The DOJ is the top watch for our legal system - not the president. A president can be charged with obstruction of justice - there are some grey areas, hard facts are needed.
The federal obstruction of justice statute provides that “whoever . . . corruptly or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication, influences, obstructs, or impedes, or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede, the due administration of justice, shall be (guilty of an offense).”
There are two schools of thought on the first question.
Many legal experts say that yes, presidents can obstruct justice just as any other citizen can. “The president is not above the law,” says Fordham University School of Law Professor Jed Shugerman. “The president has all kinds of constitutional powers, [but] he still has to obey the law in the use of those powers. Those powers still have to be legal in intent.”
“There is no express grant of immunity under the Constitution to protect the President who commits a felony,” former Obama administration White House counsel Bob Bauer told CNN. “Those who have argued for it have to cobble together their case primarily out of a concern about the debilitating effects of a President in legal trouble on the conduct of government. But they have a high burden to carry in claiming that the President charged with faithful execution of the law is above it. It simply contravenes basic understandings about the rule of law in the constitutional order.”
