As we all know Trump supporters enjoy saying Congressional Oversight is not in the constitution. But what these people ignore is the term checks And balances so in typical fashion these people play with words.

So just one question to all Americans do you believe the President should be allowed to do anything he wants and to go unchecked including preventing all his cabinet officials from testifying under oath.

The POTUS is in charge of the executive branch and not Congress.

Two things:
They'll be singing a different tune during the next Democrat administration. Of course, they will not recognize their hypocrisy.

What would happen if the House denied funding for the executive branch? Since the executive departments are being turned against their original purpose, not funding them would be a pretty good check on their power.

That is up to the SCOTUS, and no one else.

Separation of powers is a doctrine of constitutional law under which the three branches of government (executive, legislative, and judicial) are kept separate. This is also known as the system of checks and balances, because each branch is given certain powers so as to check and balance the other branches.

None of these branches have plenary power over the others. In this case congress does not have Carte Blanche to rule as it sees fit.

Either you embrace our unique system of government or pack your bags and ship your sorry ass out. I hear Cuba and Venezuela are looking for a few good men.

As I've said.....the minute another Democrat gets in the White House, the GOP will be all about some checks and balances and protecting the prerogatives of the Congress.........................and deficits.

Where did Obama use executive privilege give me some examples if you would please.

Did Obama ever defy congressional subpoenas did Obama refuse to turn over requested documents, did Obama ever use the courts to prevent administration officials from testifying.

They should have all of the same protections that Hillary and Obama are defended with.

Did Obama defy subpoenas, did Obama prevent any of his cabinet secretaries from testifying, did Obama refuse to turn over documents requested by congress, did Obam go out a hire a team of lawyers to prevent any government oversight.

Did Obama refuse to turn over his tax returns.

Your lord and perverted saviour hid everything he could about himself and the other criminals around him.

You wouldn't believe it, if the Kenyan himself admitted that to you personally.
