Impeachment of the President is a core responsibility.

It is “frowned upon” as Jesse might say, that Congress has abdicated its duties and powers to the executive branch.

Really, the Obama administration looks more and more like the movie, Gabriel Over the White House every single day.

They do have the responsibility to impeach, and convict a traitor Imperial President.

It would appear that he is right. Congress has largely abdicated its role.

Actually, we don’t even need congress as long as you are governing by executive order every day, do we?

Other than represent us as our elected representatives?

Well, yes I suppose Obama would find no core value in that. With the speaker of the house at the time telling the public they had to vote yes for laws to find out what they were, I suppose Obama is confusing competence with purpose.

This from an a-hole who’s workday typically starts at 10:30am and ends at 3.

With a two hour lunch break.

Numero uno for Congress’ To Do list should be to get your sorry ass out of your White Hut.

Once you and your tribe are evicted Ollie the Orkin man will have to come in and fumigate the place or, better yet, burh the place to the ground and rebuild.

It could be razed during your term, Barry. You and your tribe plus your precious and delicious doggies could live Arpaio-style in tents.

and the Presidency has very few core responsibilities, too

(so try, for starters, “defending the nation against enemies foreign and domestic?”)
