Score this on the GOP Deplorable Scale...

[ObamacareForever]

They absolutely do.
You’re rewriting the Constitution and abolishing separation of powers merely for your side’s political advantage.

No, Congress doesn't need the court's approval to check the executive's power.
The constitution requirements for impeachment:
The house impeaching him, and the Senate confirms
Republicans bullshit version: the house needs to sue first, then he can be impeached.

It's the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

 

[ObamacareForever]

Umm, yes they do. It's called the balance of power, as specified in the constitution. You know, that document that keeps getting in the way of democrats stealing power.

Yes and constitution grants Congress the power to check the executive's power completely independent of the judiciary.

You mean 10 of 10 on the leftist ignorance scale.

Subpoenas can be litigated in court. And Pelosi did not go by correct procedure making any subpoena invalid.

That doesn't prevent Congress from checking the executive's power independent of the judiciary.

Again, Trump’s stooges at the DOJ are arguing that Congress cannot litigate Trump’s subpoena defiance in court.

Try to pay attention.

 

[Spamature]

Litigation of subpoena power is litigated in the courts, not the Senate. Do you know anything that doesn't come out of "DemocraticUnderground.com'?

NO THEY ARE NOT !

Congress has the authority to issue subpoenas to member of the executive branch.

The GOP in Benghazi issue subpoena like they were handing out candy.

Not once did they ever say their subpoenas needed to be validated by a court before they had to be honored.

Stop repeating this falsehood.

No. Ridiculous.
Courts don’t impeach, the Congress can.

But in questions of privilege, the courts must decide who or what constitutes privileged status. The Congress does not and cannot do it. They simply don’t have the authority or the means to coerce the executive to comply.

You got to go back to Civics bub.

The Congress does not and cannot do it. They simply don’t have the authority or the means to coerce the executive to comply.

They do have the consitutional authority that doesn't require the require the courts consent.
They can:
1) arrest for contempt of Congress which doesn't require the courts approval
Or
2.) Impeach them, which doesn't require the courts approval.
