Rob's House Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 I haven't had time to research the issue, but if "orange man bad" is grounds for impeachment I'm afraid President Trump's days in office are numbered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 The dems are falling into the exact place that Putin envisioned when he set out to partner up with them on creating the hoped for chaos that they worked so hard for in 2016. Pull the rug out from under Trump as he works hard to deal with Trade and the scourge that is Iran. Russia, China and Iran all want a weaker U.S. President. So do the dems. What party here has the best interest of the country at heart? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 How The House Plans To Use Its ‘Inquiry’ To Instigate Impeachment. Congress’s authority to request documents is dependent on whether it has a legitimate legislative purpose for the documents. The purpose of the House invoking the phrase “impeachment inquiry” is to create a pretext to argue in court that it has a right to the documents. The White House brushed off many of Nadler’s requests in this May 15, 2019 letter denying the requests because Nadler had “not articulated any proper legislative purpose” for pursuing matters already investigated by Robert Mueller, for example. Because impeachment is one of the enumerated functions of the House, document requests relevant to an “impeachment inquiry” might be able to overcome this objection. The strategy of declaring an “impeachment inquiry” actually has little or nothing to do with a serious effort to put a case in front of the Senate based upon existing wrongdoing. Rather, it calls to mind the technique used to snare so many victims of the get Trump movement: the process crime. Democrats want to force the president into defying a court order upholding a House document request in order to meet the Khanna test for a full-blown impeachment proceeding. Impeachment was a scam from the start. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congress's investigation authority is extremely broad, and requests are presumed to have a legitimate legislative purpose until proven otherwise. SCOTUS has ruled such in the past. Reason being that otherwise it would make the legislative process beholden to, and subordinate to, the courts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
