Blue State Blues: Senate Should Charge Nancy Pelosi with ‘Obstruction of Congress’
Breitbart ^ | 12/20/19 | Joel B. Pollak

Nancy Pelosi is therefore guilty of obstruction of Congress.

She will fail, but just as the Democrats have told us for weeks that the president can be impeached for “attempting” to do something they consider wrong, Pelosi, too, can be held accountable to attempting to undermine the Constitution.

When Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell loses patience and moves to dismiss the impeachment, he should add another charge — against Pelosi, for contempt.

Please lets consider THIS. Executive powers within the constitution..The President CAN do the following.

Section 3
He 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 State

Note that this has never been done before. If circumstances are right, and I believe they may be, it might be time to exert this constitutional power.

In my mind, I would invoke this and adjourn them till after the next election and the new congress is sworn in.

See what in hell they do then since no new congress is bound by the prior congress.

Pretty clear that Nancy Pelosi is abusing her power to obstruct Congress. Go figure the logic of liberals...

Nancy Pelosi can be charged with anything and it won’t matter. Where would the trial be held? The District of Columbia. The same District that went for Hillary 91% to Trump’s 4%.

Heh, I like it. The Senate has the power under the constitution to make up rules about how to conduct impeachment trial just as much as the House did.

You have a good point. She could credibly plea against any charge "not guilty by reason of insanity" and everyone would believe her.

Thank you! It is high time for this POTUS to invoke his authority over a out of control House of Reps. That is what this article of the constitution was written for.

BTW. I sent this to the White House as to what might be said at the next SOTU address in the senate chambers or on national TV. Thoughts?

“My fellow Americans.”

“As you all know well, the past dealings within the control of the opposition within the House of Representatives has made this nation, founded on the principle of a republican form of government, a utterly laughable disaster in the eyes of sensible peoples worldwide.

I will address this towards those leaders who have foisted this debacle upon the will of the American people, a people who deserve far better.

To those Leaders who resolved upon this course of action, I address by quoting from another leader who, during his day, had to call upon his resolve, and almighty God, to convey this message to a similar obnoxious House of Government.

You have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
You are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
You are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a person amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Nation?
You sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the people house into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
You are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.

The nations citizens therefore call upon me to address this odious conduct and to invite you to set your evil desires aside, to beg for the peoples and Gods forgiveness, and to return to the base of doing the peoples business and not that of your own evil desires.
If not, then you are invited to leave, to hasten this divorce and leave peacefully a people who I intend to keep free to live in happiness without your insistent meddling.”

Wrong charge.

The correct charge is Obstruction of Governance by seditious conspiracy
