Return to “Still won't vote for Trump?”
'Cause we all know that the Speaker of House of Representatives serves at the pleasure of the President...Maybe Trump's "coat tails" will flip the House Democrat and Nancy Pelosi will be the one saying "You're fired" to Ryan....Bitter Clinger wrote: ...
Exactly. The entire establishment are corrupt. Time to clean house. Can't wait to hear: "Ryan, you're fired!"!
Except for 2 years the Democrats were a majority in Congress and filibuster proof majority in the Senate. Then Repubs gained a small majority in the Senate in 2014... So if the House impeaches anybody, where are you going to round up the 67 votes in the Senate to convict? Maybe Trump will flip 14 seats in the Senate this year when he wins hugely....Bitter Clinger wrote:Really Dale? "...it could have been much worse"?

We need to focus on retaining a majority in Congress so that things can't go too far wrong with Hillary.
Which reminds me: whatever happened to Ryan's "agenda"? Maybe Trump is worth a try, as disgusting as he is...http://observer.com/2016/10/james-comey ... ns-crimes/James Comey and Loretta Lynch Should Be Impeached for Whitewashing Clinton’s Crimes
Former federal prosecutor says that Hillary obstructed justice and destroyed evidence—with the support of the president himself
Oh I agree. The way to go is Convention of States, which is an amendment process that bypasses Congress. It still requires 3/4 of the States to approve any amendments proposed, so the worry about a "runaway convention" is silly.Lynyrd wrote:Scott, while I agree that every elected official should honor and uphold our Constitution, it was Congress who passed the 22nd Amendment limiting a president to two terms. Who is going to limit the terms of Congress? The president can't. The supreme court can't, and the states won't take action.
I would like him to in his FIRST act as President to declare himself dictator and make all previous executive orders void, then dismiss Congress and then do everything else we would like.....which would be about as Constitutional as banning executive orders and binding future Congresses....So what I would REALLY like to see him do is act Constitutionally unlike Obama or President Hillary and leave the lawmaking to the States and Congress and Constitutional changes to the Amendment process that we've had for....oh...225 years or so....Lynyrd wrote:And limit Congress to 12 years. Two terms for senators, 6 for representatives.bdgyeah wrote:I like Trump. I will truly sleep better if he wins. That being said. I would love for him, as his last act as President, Make an Executive order eliminating the Power of the President to make executive orders, and any other potential way that takes away the power of the Congress by whomever may hold the office of the President.
