Is Trump’s refusal to work with Congress yet another impeachable offense?

Trump has made it plain - he refuses to cooperate with Congress on legislation unless they stop their oversight activities.

That’s deplorable in the abstract, but also a complete violation of the constitutional roles. A constitutional role of Congress is oversight of the executive. A constitutional role of presidents is working with Congress to enact legislation. Yet here we have Trump announcing he refuses to fulfill his constitutional duties unless Congress agrees not to abide by its constitutional duties.

Another impeachment count to throw on top of the pile.

Yes, yes, by all means!
So many reasons- real and imagined- to fruitlessly impeach him.
What are the Dems possibly waiting for??

Short answer: no. But you already knew this, Two Scoops. At any rate, good luck with your outrage du jour. See you tomorrow!

Imagine my shock every time you fully support the outrages of your Dear Leader Trump.

Why pretend your slavish devotion to your Dear Leader Trump depends on the details?

Sorry, contempt of Congress is probably not an impeachable offense. Sometimes Congress is, in fact, contemptible.

Threatening to refuse to govern if the investigation isn't halted is certainly obstruction.

It meets the standard of "high crimes and misdemeanors"

Trump again declares himself an “extremely stable genius,” in a news conference that began with him summoning his staffers to emphasize how calm he was in a meeting with lawmakers he walked out of yesterday.

Yup. Trump staged a meeting where he called upon his stooges to “refute” things Pelosi didn’t say.

Trump called himself a "stable genius" before, but this is the first time he's called himself an "extremely stable genius." Wonder if that was before or after Pelosi suggested he needed an intervention.
LOL

Oh, he added “extremely” today?

I stand corrected.

Apparently he is taking the Obama track of negotiating.

The last a Republican President worked with Democrats the results were disasterous. See Bush/Pelosi 2007...Everything was fine until Pelosi came along.

You mean when the country was reeling from a torture scandal, the collapse of many WH-connected companies due to fraud, a quagmire in Iraq, and a botched hurricane response that left tens of thousands homeless?

 

[EatTheRich]

No. That would be pre-emptively giving the other side whatever you think they will ask for, them when they reject it and demand something more extreme, giving them 90% of that also.

 

[Constitutional Sheepdog]

I think trying to coerce Congress into not engaging in its oversight role, by threatening not to cooperate with legislation designed to help the country, is just as bad.

What's bad is your ignorance
