Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) said in an interview with the New York Times that the Constitution considers her to be President Donald Trump's equal.

Pelosi is set to regain the speaker's gavel after spending eight years as House minority leader. Pelosi was the first female speaker of the House from 2007 to 2011, and she maneuvered to get the party's votes necessary to secure the speakership again after Democrats won back the chamber in the November midterms.

In a piece with a headline declaring her an "icon of female power," Pelosi was asked by the reporter "if she considers herself Mr. Trump's equal."

"The Constitution does," she replied.

And botox is keeping her alive..she made her deal with the devil a long time ago

[pepsi_junkie]

The case for her being right:

1. There are three co-equal branches and she's at the top of her portion
2. She's third in the line of succession

Why she's wrong:

1. The entire congress is the branch that's equal, she still only gets one vote among 400+ congressmen and 100 Senators. She can control the agenda within the house but she can't do squat without the votes behind her. On the other hand, the President can veto all her hard work all by himself. And while she's at the top of the house, that is only half of the congress anyway.
2. If the order of succession is the yardstick, than VP is more important that Speaker of the House. He's President of the Senate and first in line for the Presidency.

Isn’t that what the Rats consider a “White Power” sign?

The Constitution considers you to be an old fuddy duddy who has outlived her “use by” date.

Getting ready to swallow the load.

Perhaps the botox has leached into her brain.

There are three co-equal branches and she's at the top of her portion

She's top of half of her portion.

[Sacajaweau]

She’s not even second in line...

Nah, that would assume she had a brain to begin with..she goes on and on about how she went to church, yeah she cares so much about God that is why she favors late term abortion

Put your phony shutdown bill to a vote b*tch - and we’ll see who’s equal.

One step closer too Civil War II.

I am sort of glad she’ll be back, talking like this every day, for the next 2 years. At some point, even the MSM might notice that she’s delusional.

[RinaseaofDs]

Here’s where journalism could have helped:

All the idiot journalist had to do was say, “Could you explain that in more detail please?”

Simple. Unbiased. Thoroughly enlightening.

But no.

And the mediots can’t figure out why nobody wants to subscribe any more!
