Did John Boehner Violate the Logan Act?

[bripat9643]

The point is that John Boehner has absolutely no business inviting foreign leaders to the USA. The protocol for more than 200 years is that American politics, esp. American political strite, ends at the water's edge. It is the EXECUTIVE branch that invites foreign dignitaries, not John Boehner. Only, it is not specifically prohibited in the US Constitution. So, I doubt it is illegal, just classless. Typical for a Republican.

You mean like Nancy Pelosi did that the far left drones like you had no problem with?

Which leader of a foreign nation did Nancy Pelosi invite to speak before Congress? And did she do it behind Bush's back?

Once again the far left will ignore their own..

I guess being a far left drone in Germany has blinded you to much..

I ask again: which foreign leader did Nancy Pelosi, as Speaker of the US HOR from 2007-2011, invite to speak before Congress?

Answer: no one.

Nancy understands how the Congress is supposed to work. Boehner does not.

You can go around insulting the Left as much as you want, but it won't change the facts.

Are you even capable of debating ideas and information.

Where is the law that says Boehnor can't invite who he wants to speak before Congress? If the president can invite an illegal alien, then surely Boehnor can invite someone with a legal visa.

Look it up yourself do your own research there far left drone..

However this trumps what is happening now and the far left was silent..

Speaker Pelosi Goes to Syria Taylor Marsh

However if you still support the far left I suggest look at who you are supporting before look at anyone else.

Not the same. A number of GOP representatives have visited foreign dignitary overseas, especially in the ME. Not the same as INVITING a world leader to speak in front of the Congress.

Discernment is really not your thing, what?

It is the same as the Logan act is concerned. Aren't these members conducting their own foreign policy?

I am really hoping to show great and warm empathy for you, for you really seem to lack the ability to discern details that make things different from each other.

Really, so many Righties are like 1st graders who still need to draw with really, really thick crayons. The slim stuff just doesn't work for them, maybe never.

Again, for those who are so dense that a WMD would not break through their skulls:

John Boehner, the current Speaker of the HOR, invited Bibi WITHOUT consulting with the President first. This is a MASSIVE breach of protocol. Other speakers, including Boehner himself, have made invites, but in consultation with the WH.

Now, is there anyone out there who still does not understand this?

I think anyone who breaches protocol should be roundly criticized. Can you think of any other recent breaches of protocol? Like, deep bows to ME and far east potentates and a pat on the back to the Queen of England.

Oh, Bush 43 and Bush 41 bowed VERY VERY deeply to ME leaders. Are you upset with them for this?

 

[Statistikhengst]

One does not often meet a "Jew" whose views are so in tune with those of German leadership in 1939.

If you are referring to me, then:
No. Not true at all. Which shows that you no absoutely nothing about the year 1939. You are just another whacked out Rightie who has no earthly idea who horrible the NAZIS were, that they murdered a sum total of more than 11,000,000 people. So, off is the direction in which you can fuck, Mortimer.

Wow the far left will do all it can to excuse their own and continue to push their hatred for Jews.

Well, aren't you just as stupid as fuck. I AM a Jew and I strongly support Israel. But Bibi has no business speaking before the US Congress a.) during his own re-election campaign and b.) when the thing was arranged without even consulting the President. Presidents make foreign policy, not Congresses. If Bibi really has something of concern to speak about, then it is first with our President, at the White House.

Learn to discern. You are unbelievably slow on the gun, you poor thing, you. Learn your political history, asswipe.

Yet you hate Jews by supporting the far left.. Interesting!

Yet not one far left drone can show where protocol has been breached other that what the far left press is telling to think..

Poor Kosh. Got hung out to dry.

I sure would be if I could see a picture of them doing so. I haven't, so perhaps you will post it for me.

And to meet one twice in the same day? Well what are the odds?

And in meeting one not only touch a nerve, strum one like a K-Mart guitar!

Sometimes the good in a single day can be overwhelming!

Well, usually you are easy to ignore, most because of your mind-boggling ignorance, but when you attack me personally, sometimes I may just respond. After all, you are an outstanding playtoy.

Now, back to the OP: Did John Boehner violate the Logan Act?

Prolly not.

The first one shows Bush bending down so a medal can be put over his head by the King. Not a bow dipshit! The Pope is a ME leader? Even you know that is grasping. The next one appears to be Nixon and that is not a bow, they are both leaning over while shaking hands. Is that Reagan shaking hands with a much shorter man, and I have yet to see the DEEP bow from either of the Bush's.

Like shooting fish in a barrel.

You get a flat ZERO for all of those.

 

[OKTexas]

Hey dumbass, do you know what a JOINT SESSION of congress is? The senate has to agree to it. They are gathering information, not entering into negotiations. But considering congress appropriates foreign aid they have a valid reason to gather information, your dear leader sure can't be counted on to tell them the truth.

It's a political play. It's unworthy of respect

Yep dainty boy, opinions are like armpits, everyone has them and most all of them stink.

Did John Boehner Violate the Logan Act By Inviting Netanyahu To Speak?
Saul Goodman
January 22, 2015

Reecently, in a shocking breach of protocol and precedent which once again demonstrated the utter contempt with which he views the Office of the President of the United States, John Boehner extended an invitation to address Congress to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. An Israeli election is coming up in a few months, and Netanyahu, whose policies have become increasingly unpopular in Israel, faces a difficult campaign. Clearly Boehner is trying to help Netanyahu's chances in the election, but his unprecedented invitation was not only an insult to the President of the United States and to 200 years of history and precedent, it may also violate the Logan Act, a crime punishable by up to three years imprisonment.

<snip>

The Constitution makes clear that matters of international diplomacy are within the scope of Executive, not Legislative powers. It is the President who decides whether to recognize foreign governments. It is the President who receives foreign dignitaries. It is the President who negotiates treaties. Congress DOES play a role - they must approve treaties by a two thirds vote and they must approve the appointment of Ambassadors by the President. But they do not initiate policy. And in any event, these are functions of the SENATE. John Boehner is not a member of the Senate.

So what do you think? Is John Boehner simply a classless,
insulting obstructionist fool, or is he also a criminal?​

.

No, he didn't violate the Logan act. His invitation has no legal significance. If that violated the Logan act, then Nazi Pelosi violated it when she visited the President of Syria, and numerous other Democrats have violated it as well in similar fashion.

Obama deserves to be treated with contempt. Three cheers for Boehner! He did something right for a change.

I actually agree with the canadian, bripat.

Actually, no, I am not upset with them for doing this. It's only butthurt Righties who are so lacking in argument that they have to criticize the bend-posture of a president while greeting another world leader, when in reality, all Presidents before him also did it. They don't all have to be ME leaders, they are world leaders, dumbass.

It really shows how utterly and completely detached from reality many Righties are.

What I find amusing is the big fuss Obama's people make about protocol and then ignore the lack of it when it comes to following it. There is a perfectly acceptable and honored protocol for American Presidents when meeting foreign heads of state. A deep bow is not acceptable as it is observed as being subservient. That is the bend-posture you refer too.

I was surprised that Obama went way beyond the limits when he has Valerie Jarrett as his chief adviser. I believe she was raised in the middle east and should be well versed on these common practices. Either she didn't brief him on proper protocol, she didn't know what it was, or he is a slow learner. There are other options, but I would choose one of these.

I am surprised that you would go to the lengths of "everybody does it," when they don't, just to defend the arrogant asshole we have for a President. You are much too bright for that.
