Last time I checked he was the Commander-In-Chief of the Army and the Navy.

Names please. Certainly that weasel Rubio voted with the dems. My emails to him demanding he vocally support the President are ignored if you can fatom that.

“Ten Republicans voted with Democrats in supporting the resolution.”

Who are they, we need names.

Congress fails to keep US military from defending the US.

Notice the verbiage. “His” wall.

Nobody else wants the wall, right? Just that crazy orange-man bad guy occupying the Oval office that rightly belongs to her highnessz Well, except for all those nasty irredeemably deplorable hick rubes in flyover Jesusland.

Truth is the vast majority of Americans DON’T want a border wall. They want TWO border walls, patrolled by pit bulls with AIDS.

Yeah, I don’t believe it is Congress purview to try and second guess a President and emergency declarations. Chief executive. That’s why he was elected, in fact. One of the reasons, certainly.

Because, Congress has failed to do what they were elected to do. This ain’t rocket science.

Probably the same 10 RINOs who will vote to impeach.

I think that the Republican Senators are unaware of the avalanche of rage that they will have listen to if the House impeaches President Trump. They might be idly thinking of how fun it will be to vote for impeachment but it is delusional.

I would say that any Republican that votes for impeachment has a 50-50 chance of losing their primary election and, if they survive that, a 75% chance of losing the general election.

Last time I checked, Congress had the power of the purse.

Well, does that mean that the vote of the House of Representatives met the two-thirds requirement? If so, a whole lot of Repubs would have had to have crossed over to vote with the Progs ...

The chamber voted by a 53-36 margin to end the emergency. Ten Republicans voted with Democrats in supporting the resolution.

That’s probably a good indication of how an impeachment vote might go - nowhere near the 2/3 they need to commit treason against the People.
