But impeachment/inquiries is not legislation Floffe Send a noteboard - 20/12/2019 09:54:19 AM

Now sure Trump can veto legislation put forward by Congress, but that is not what they are impeaching him for. They are impeaching him because the administration had refused to cooperate with the Congressional investigation, by withholding documents and testimony from key persons. How would Republicans have reacted if Clinton had refused to talk to the Whitewater investigation? Saying "fine, that's his right as the President"?

Now Trump has also given Dems plenty of ammo, by saying "there was no quid pro quo" when testimony from others have later shown that a visit to the White house (and perhaps the military aid) was conditioned on Zelensky announcing an investigation into Burisma, not just starting it

So what, you think what Trump did in that phone call and the months after was fine? Legolas - 20/12/2019 05:22:57 PM 313 Views
He could have vetoed the aid, see. So it was ok to secretly withhold it. fionwe1987 - 21/12/2019 04:30:17 AM 248 Views

I would expect statements like that from Cannoli, yes, but not from you. Legolas - 24/12/2019 10:05:49 AM 316 Views

Where do you think the support for Trump comes from? Cannoli - 30/12/2019 11:54:33 PM 286 Views
Did you mean Peter? Cannoli - 19/12/2019 04:42:53 AM 303 Views
He means Steve King, Congressman from Iowa. Very controversial guy. *NM* Legolas - 20/12/2019 05:25:10 PM 151 Views
