When their policies shit all over it?
Minimum wage, eliminating entire sectors of the economy, freedom of association etc
What a large group of fucking liars!
Speaking of not caring about the constitution...
Trump Vows Stonewall of ‘All’ House Subpoenas, Setting Up Fight Over Powers
^This is neither, "faithfully executing the office of the president" nor "protecting and defending the constitution" as the Oath of Office demands.
Where in the Constitution does Congress have subpoena power over a sitting president or his officers?
LOL...seriously?
Article 1... oversight of the executive.
They have power of impeachment. Where does it say they can Subpoena a president or its officers outside the impeachment process?
Oversight requires information. No?
The only play for Trump is executive privilege.
Which isn't mentioned explicitly in the constitution either.
So basically the constitution doesn't give congress the right to subpoena a sitting president, nor does it give the president any right to ignore it.
Both are based on common law concepts and SC decisions, and thus the above bitching about Trump ignoring the Constitution is moot.
