Constitutional question?

Post by Jersey Girl »

So if President is outright breaking the law and if a GOP heavy Congress won't do anything about it...can the Democrat side of the Congress do something legally with regard to GOP folks breaking THEIR oath of office? Charge them? Anyone know?

Was that clear as mud? I'm doing the best I can to pose the question. Hopefully what I'm asking is understandable.

I'm not talking about staging a coup. Does the constitution provide for such a thing as to make it feasible? What happens when senators violate their oath office?

I know this is all over the place. Apologies. But do you get what I'm asking?

I feel so stupid. :oops:

I imagine it is very limited what they can do unless enough Republicans join the Democrats in opposition to Trump and corrupt senators to give that opposition a clear majority. I fear that Trump will defy even a clear 9 to 0 Supreme Court ruling against him, unless enough Republicans grow enough spine to oppose his violation of the constitution that he swore to uphold. He has already done so, at least once.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Congress needs a majority to pass anything, so they are completely useless right now against Trump's lawlessness. The GOP has no spine, and has become traitorous to the US for not doing their job to check the tyrant.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.
