During an appearance on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday, Rep. Paul Ryan defended House Speaker John Boehner’s decision to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress, calling the decision “wholly appropriate.”
Host Chuck Todd asked the Wisconsin Republican if it was appropriate for the legislative branch to circumvent the executive branch in matters of foreign policy.
Ryan said critics of Netanyahu’s visit should look to the U.S. Constitution.
“These are three separate but equal branches of government,” said Ryan. “We don’t subserve one to the other.”

So far, so good. Just keep this resolute attitude for the next six weeks. You guys can do it, don’t go wobbly (AGAIN!).
Boehner advised Obama before inviting the Prime Minister.
This has been confirmed in recent reports now.
And there have been many such invitations to many foreign leaders and other dignitaries or various types
Why did Obama create, out of thin air, all the stink about Boehner inviting Bibi
answer: Bibi is a ‘damned Joo” and O hates Joos
(especially those Jooos who are willing to speak up and defend themselves!!!)
Obama has made such an embarrassment of himself (and this is far from his first such Rub-Shit-On-His-Own-Face incident)
... its pathetic, actually painful... to have to watch or listen to him anymore
The Left Wing Media spent about thirty years whining and complaining that Republican Presidents were going around congress in their foreign policy.
Now that Obama is constantly violating the constitution, they have reversed themselves. It’s congress that must obey.
I don’t care what kind of mental issues the commie ‘RATS are having with Bibi addressing Congress. I’d just as soon watch Netanyahu address Congress than listen to the Lying King lie to them.
List of things that congress needs permission from the president to do:
1- pass any legislation (but a presidential veto can be over-ridden)
2- uh...I am at a loss to come up with #2...
Well, how about the clear breaking of the law over Obama's refusing to tell Congress about the Bergdahl trade? The allowing of insurance companies to not obey ACA for a year?
No mention of these anymore.
Rahm Emmanuel was his Chief of Staff. He also has many Jewish donors and supporters.
He only hates Jews that believe in Israel and God.
“Only twice have foreign dignitaries addressed a Joint Session of Congress: French Ambassador Andre de Laboulaye (20 May 1934), to mark the centennial of the death of the Marquis de Lafayette, and Cuban Ambassador Guillermo Belt (19 April 1948), to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Cuban independence after the Spanish-American War in 1898.”
Neither of which Obama would have approved of without concurrence by the ISIS or Rev Wright..

What about Netanyahu in 2011?
Yes. Any so- called jooo that hates God or the American or joooish people — is ok with obama. (Would it be PC to observe that’s “mighty white of him?”). Summary: the only good Jooos are dead joooos or ( and here’s his liberal part:) self- hating jooos that will help him make more dead jooos.
Rahm Emmanuel = Useful Joo
I guess Chuck Todd as not heard of the phrase co-equal branches of government. Like the Congress going around the President is a defiance of the Supreme Commander. :-)
The branches were not supposed to be equal. According to the Federalist, Congress had “will,” the executive “force,” and the judiciary “judgment.” That’s highly simplified, but Congress was supposed to have the leading role in setting policy.
"The date was December 26, 1941. Outside the U.S. Capitol Building, platoons of soldiers and police stood at high alert. Shortly after noon, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill entered the Senate Chamber to address a joint meeting of Congress." U.S. Senate website
Here's a video of his famous "Masters of our Fate" speech: YouTube video
? Only if you consider "equal" to mean "the same powers"...but the idea of checks and balances is so closely akin to the idea that we can think of the founders' ideal to be equal.
You are absolutely correct that Congress is to have ALL legislative power.
I am very concerned that the fourth branch of government, the bureaucracy, is unaccountable to the people or the Congress.
Glad that DEMOCRATS never engage in Foreign Policy from leadership positions in CONGRESS. Can’t have that, can we?
“FORMER Reagan administration officials were stunned when, as revealed in the New York Times on Sept. 15, their mid-1980s monitoring stumbled across “Democrats or staff members of Democrats” directly advising the communist Sandinistas of Nicaragua on political tactics, including how to defeat U.S. aid to the anti-communist resistance, the “Contras. “”
