What IS in the Constitution, however, is Article II Section 3:
[The President] shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.
Imagine what would happen if President Trump were to exercise this power to convene Congress (essentially subpoenaing them to appear) and choose that moment to declassify and release all the documents that prove his innocence and implicate top Democrats in high crimes against the Constitution?
What if, before any House impeachment vote or Senate removal trial, Trump turned the tables on Congress and convened THEM to appear and hear his evidence, all of it, unfiltered, with the backdrop of the chamber of the House of Representatives as his optics?

There are some really sharp folks on this site and lots of them and, thankfully, they bring a lot to the table from all sorts of different angles. As long as they don’t get nasty and condescending, which they sometimes do, folks have the opportunity to learn a lot from some of the commenters.
Anywho.... I wonder if anyone in the White House, or someone else close to POTUS, gets on here, Breitbart, Daily Caller, etc, to see what’s being bantered about and read some of these comments. Perhaps learn about a different angle of attack, so to speak.
Now it appears that the Dem’s, once again, have realized that they’ve fallen on their faces and are scrambling to salvage something from Schiff’s op.
In line with the information in your post, I just want to see two things:
1. A tweet from the President, calling out Schiff’s failure and then four simple words ...... My turn, Checkmate
2. The next morning announce that he is convening both houses of Congress and start dropping MOABs, all day long. Just have aides fill up tables with all the files of all their corruption, lies, and theft. Then, right when he’s about to walk out of the room, read the list of Congress-folks that used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual harassment claims.
Of course, if he did that, damn near every paramedic and emt in the greater DC area would have to be at the Capitol, as they all started stroking out and having heart attacks.
One can dream, can’t they?
