Where in the Constitution is there a role for former Presidents?

Fake news for the media to spread such nonsense. Inserting unconstitutional activities into a process creates a Constitutional crisis. Just the opposite of the lies the media spreads.

Now Congress does have power and a role to play per the Constitution.

The only Constitutional crisis is what is going to happen to all of the Kenyan’s decisions that will be null and void once it comes out he was indeed born outside the US, thus ineligible to be POTUS.

The Constitutional Crisis is letting the Crooks and Losers investigate an Elected President

There’s no constitutional crisis. If Mueller finds anything, which I doubt, he can send it to the Congress. First the House Judiciary Committee will have to refer article(s) of impeachment to the floor. That’s very doubtful. Then a majority of the House would have to vote to impeach on at least one article. That too is very doubtful. Then, and here’s the big one, the Senate would need to convict him with a 2/3 vote. So relax! Clinton walked and so would Trump. “Not up to the level required.”

Loopy Friedman is delusional. All of Mueller’s rat holes wind up on Crooked Hillary or Cheatin’ Obama’s door step.

...someone with legitimate authority to do so.

Just what "legitimate authority" do these two have at present?

And what's a VICE president for?

Complete garbage from a total moron. The Constitutional crisis is going to be charging a former POTUS and SOS with serious crimes

so, the dems and reps teaming up to stage a coup is not a constitutional crisis. Maybe he needs to get his head out of his a$$.

This is the actual worldview of people that believe the New York Times front page reflects reality.

Friedman wants a dictator. Just not Trump in that role.

Basically he is saying that they are going to get Trump on something even if it’s completely made up aND then at that point they are going to completely make up an extra constitutional fix with two losers of the uniparty who will then implement the the policies that got us Trump in the first place.

He doesn't know what he is talking about.

Well stated. Succinct and to the point.

Friedman foolishness!

Team up those who have led the nation in departing from Constitutional limitations on power in order avoid a "Constitutional crisis"?

There are a plethora of parables one might cite to amplify and expose the utter idiocy and foolishness of this Friedman folly, but why even bother?

The Progressive cultish ideology has captivated and dominated his thought process so that the actual history of nations and of civilizations seems to have escaped his attention.

Even Burke, in his 1775 Speech on Conciliation. . . ." recognized that the explosion of America's prosperity, production of goods and services, and overall success was due to what he described as the colonists' "spirit of liberty" and individual freedom.

“That according to Friedman will lead to former Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama having to step and prevent a constitutional crisis.”


I do believe that you call people who used to be President the same thing that you call those who used to be police officers: civilians. They have no more right to do anything than I do.

Thomas Friedman: Obama, Bush Will Have to Team Up Against Trump to End a Constitutional Crisis

Former Presidents (or usurpers, in 0bama's case) hold no special positions, so this clown is proposing a coup d'etat to "prevent a non-existent Constitutional crisis". All TRAITORS are fair game.

“If those Uniparty shills try and overthrow our President then regrettably CW 2 is inevitable.”

It’s not “if”, that’s exactly what the mueller coup is doing right now. If mueller is not fired, he will deliver a “legal fig leaf” to congress to remove Trump. The GOP, the party of bush, romney, ryan, mcscrotum, graham, mccain, will impeach him.

The swamp wants him gone. Mueller is the method.
