President
No he functions at the behest of the law. You seem to think he is the law.That is an utterly ridiculous conclusion. The president does not function at the behest of the house.

If I thought he IS the law, then I wouldn't be arguing that it's the SCOTUS who determines the legitimacy of Trumps claims of executive privilege. YOU think that the house can dictate what the president does, and that's completely wrong.No he functions at the behest of the law. You seem to think he is the law.
Of course he doesn’t. Congress and the president are co-equal branches. At least that’s the framework in the Constitution. In this regard, congressional oversight of the executive branch is equally established, and this is especially true in the case of the impeachment power set forth in the Constitution.That is an utterly ridiculous conclusion. The president does not function at the behest of the house.

It's called executive privilege and every single president has used it. It's just "bad" now that it's Trump.Of course he doesn’t. Congress and the president are co-equal branches.

In this regard, and all others, Trump pisses on the Constitution. He unilaterally declared the impeachment inquiry “illegitimate” and ordered all his people to defy all impeachment-related subpoenas. In doing so he claimed his administration is “absolutely immune” from such congressional oversight, a frivolous claim that the courts have already ridiculed and dismissed.
Yet the obstruction and cover-up continue unabated, aided and abetted by Trump’s GOP co-conspirators in the Senate. Absolute lawlessness.
And again, Trump has not even invoked executive privilege. Nor is that even applicable to conceal evidence of wrongdoing in any event.It's called executive privilege and every single president has used it. It's just "bad" now that it's Trump.
Actually, he did, starting when the democrats in the house decided they were going to hold impeachment hearings even after he was exonerated by the Mueller report.Trump did not even invoke executive privilege. You should turn off Fox Noise.
You should inform yourself better. Trump did claim it and currently it is in court awaiting a ruling.And again, Trump has not even invoked executive privilege. Nor is that even applicable to conceal evidence of wrongdoing in any event.
FYI, you’ve been gaslighted.You should inform yourself better. Trump did claim it and currently it is in court awaiting a ruling.
Is "gaslighted" the new word they put on your DNC issued "word of the day" calendar? You seem to be practicing with it a lot, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.FYI, you’ve been gaslighted.
Sure it does. Trump and his assistant liars turn reality upside down with their lying, and you come to believe them. You’re either gaslighted or you know they’re lying. Which is it?Is "gaslighted" the new word they put on your DNC issued "word of the day" calendar? You seem to be practicing with it a lot, but it doesn't mean what you think it means.
Here’s the letter from Trump’s lawyer advising Congress that Trump and his administration will defy all impeachment inquiry subpoenas. Read it. It does not invoke executive privilege. The letter just whines about process and repeats Trump’s favorite lies...You should inform yourself better. Trump did claim it and currently it is in court awaiting a ruling.

One more time. In regards to impeachment he did not make a claim of executive privilege. In fact he took no part in it at all.If I thought he IS the law, then I wouldn't be arguing that it's the SCOTUS who determines the legitimacy of Trumps claims of executive privilege. YOU think that the house can dictate what the president does, and that's completely wrong.

The Congress has oversight duties in regards to the Executive Branch. So yes, when they issue subpoenas and request testimony he is supposed to comply unless it threatens national security.
A) He did not invoke executive privilege.https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-trump-administration-is-exercising-executive-privilege-without-saying-so/2018/09/04/4301954e-b05b-11e8-9a6a-565d92a3585d_story.html
He most certainly did, and now the courts are ruling on it. Democrats couldn't wait though, and now they are whining about a "fair trial" in the senate.
And no, he doesn't "have" to comply. These are co-equal branches. The house doesn't rule the president.
Link to the exact transcript being released?There are no witnesses because no crime was committed. The exact transcript of that phone call was released and NO crimes were indicated. The people who testified gave OPINIONS and generally committed perjury.
