Well I was just wondering because if there are hearings, etc.. then could he be called to testify?
And could this testimony cause problems for O during a criminal trial?
He could not be called to testify.
He could choose to testify but he wouldn’t.
Seperation of powers.
The House is entirely alone in the proceeding. The defenders of Obama in the House would be the House Democrat leadership and their chosen henchmen.
Obama won’t be impeached. Obama won’t be prosecuted. So it’s a moot point.
It demands on what he is asked to testfy about. For example, if he were required to testify about his citizenship, he would be compelled to answer. However, if he were asked to testify about matters that could be considered national security matters, the answer is most likely no. The exception would be if the courtroom were closed to the public and ONLY the Judge, Prosecutor, Defending Atorney and (maybe) the Jury could be present.
