in every alternate Universe,
Americans would never let a crone-witch
protect terrorists while practicing sedition
against the ELECTED PRESIDENT using
her made up botox-generated “rules”/illegalities.

It would be incredibly stupid to change the rules in the middle of a Presidents term. Any such rules have to be started at the beginning of a new Presidents term (2025?) Because policies and strategies were based off of existing rules. That’s my perspective. Not against in Principal but you’d be crazy to do it now.

They are the evil within our country. If we don’t get rid of them in 2020, our country will not survive.

I thought the President said today Iran stood down. Its like Democrats live in an alternative universe.

They keep on shooting themselves in the foot. That’s some smart strategery there.

“...or if there is an “imminent armed attack upon the United States.”

Not Imminent. Already occurred - there was an attack on our Embassy there (which was the straw that broke the camel’s back, as far as Trump was concerned). Or doesn’t she know that a US Embassy is the United States?

They don’t seem to be able to adjust their plans to new developments.

Nancy doesn’t seem know or care about our embassy or soldiers in harms way in Iraq.

Democrats are immolating themselves. I hope they keep it up.

Just another pretentious outburst by the Dummycrats “...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing...” except their willingness to sacrifice (at any cost) our country’s defense on the altar of their political power.

Yeah but these clowns already believe that Trumps election is an ongoing “imminent threat upon the United States.”

What would Zer0 do?

It’s just a resolution - - Specifically a Simple Resolution (not presented to President for action). Hell Nancy could call for a resolution on anything, who cares?

From the HoR website:

Bills & Resolutions
Forms of Congressional Action

The work of Congress is initiated by the introduction of a proposal in one of four principal forms: the bill, the joint resolution, the concurrent resolution, and the simple resolution.
Bills

A bill is the form used for most legislation, whether permanent or temporary, general or special, public or private. A bill originating in the House of Representatives is designated by the letters “H.R.”, signifying “House of Representatives”, followed by a number that it retains throughout all its parliamentary stages. Bills are presented to the President for action when approved in identical form by both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Joint Resolutions

Joint resolutions may originate either in the House of Representatives or in the Senate. There is little practical difference between a bill and a joint resolution. Both are subject to the same procedure, except for a joint resolution proposing an amendment to the Constitution. On approval of such a resolution by two-thirds of both the House and Senate, it is sent directly to the Administrator of General Services for submission to the individual states for ratification. It is not presented to the President for approval. A joint resolution originating in the House of Representatives is designated “H.J.Res.” followed by its individual number. Joint resolutions become law in the same manner as bills.

Concurrent Resolutions

Matters affecting the operations of both the House of Representatives and Senate are usually initiated by means of concurrent resolutions. A concurrent resolution originating in the House of Representatives is designated “H.Con.Res.” followed by its individual number. On approval by both the House of Representatives and Senate, they are signed by the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate. They are not presented to the President for action.

Simple Resolutions

A matter concerning the operation of either the House of Representatives or Senate alone is initiated by a simple resolution. A resolution affecting the House of Representatives is designated “H.Res.” followed by its number. They are not presented to the President for action.

Elissa Slotkin. This is the rep who said repeatedly she would follower her district’s wishes on the impeachment vote and then ignored them. She caught hell at Town Meeting and voted to impeach a couple of days later.

I think we can all benefit by Congressman Nadler’s military experience. /sarc

PR stunt by the freshman congresswoman who is very vulnerable in a Trump district. Hope she has a job lined up when she loses her seat in Jan. She is not going to be able to get her old CIA job back because there’s a new sheriff in town

It’s only imminent if a Democrat is president.
