No, they did not forget. They left it in the hands of the people. What they did not do but has been later argued upon was term limits. Through term limits, the Congress would not be able to abuse its power and if it does then the people would be able to remove to body politic. It is time to give the power back to the people and get rid of billion dollar campaigns and career politicians who get rich off of the people’s dime. The only way a sitting Representative can be removed from office is either to 1) vote them out in the next election or 2) have them expelled from the House. Although the latter is not a removal from office rather a blockage of performing one’s duties in the House.

The sooner the people can get term limits upon the representative government the better it will be for all. Unfortunately this will need a Constitutional Conventiuon in order for it to be done. That ain’t happening any time soon.

The entire House stands for election every two years.

That idea went into the sewers almost from the start.

Putting term limits on congressional seats and senate seats, is what the founding fathers didn't think through (for the most part).

Let’s have hearings, Let’s expose how Democraps have supported this scumbag Trump killed. How Soleimani is responsible for 600 American deaths and all we get from the left are weeping Hallmark tweets. How they leak and can’t be trusted with classified information! How they provide aid and comfort to the enemy with John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and Obama. Fire it up Schiff-head. Humiliation is you destiny!

Attempting a Coup against the President of the United States will earn you a ‘hang by the neck until dead’ treason execution Mr Schiff.

High Treason also for your actions to coverup of the Hillary Treasons Mr SChiff - unfortunately, you cant be hung twice.

.

Time to drain the swamp and burn the rubbish.

Schiff said there’s “absolutely no way” Trump’s threat to retaliate with “disproportionate” attacks, should Iran strike the U.S., reflects Pentagon planning.

“None of that could come out of the Pentagon,” Schiff said.

That has to be one of the most moronic statements I have ever heard.

If the Pentagon is even remotely doing it's job, and they seem to be (mostly) doing so these days, it has a full range of contingency plans for retaliation for an Iranian strike on the US that run the gamut up to and including leveling every major city, and every major military installation, in Iran. If the Iranians do strike, the President chooses from that menu -- he might of his own accord ask: "Can we do "x"?", but "x" or something very similar IS on that list.

Now, Obama's fairy DOD? That might have been a different story. But if Schiff is that far behind the curve, now, calling him incompetent to be a garbage collector is an insult to garbage collectors!

Schiff is as unlikeable as Weiner was, arrogant beyond control. Weiner fell hard. Rumors about Schiff have been around for awhile. He may fall from his high horse soon
