Sen. John McCain issued a plea for bipartisan cooperation as Congress returns from its extended summer recess, saying pragmatism, compromise and mutual respect are more critical than ever given what he considers the lack of experience emanating from the White House.
"That has never been truer than today, when Congress must govern with a president who has no experience of public office, is often poorly informed and can be impulsive in his speech and conduct," McCain wrote Thursday in a Washington Post op-ed.
"We must respect his authority and constitutional responsibilities," the Arizona Republican said of President Donald Trump. "We must, where we can, cooperate with him. But we are not his subordinates. We don't answer to him. We answer to the American people. We must be diligent in discharging our responsibility to serve as a check on his power. And we should value our identity as members of Congress more than our partisan affiliation."
The plea comes as Congress reconvenes from the August recess to a packed agenda that includes keeping the government funded, raising the debt ceiling and possibly working on legislation to address the federal budget, border security and immigration, tax reform and infrastructure spending....

John McCain, you’re subordinate to certain moral laws, and if you continue the path you’re on you will one day face something that won’t yield to corruption.
Let’s not forget Obama, who started running for President with NO executive experience.
When the time comes only Democrats will come to his funeral.
Instead of retiring and enjoying the time left with his family,
he is holding on to the bitter end.
A selfish SOB. With a scorched earth attitude until his hopefully bitter end.
Sums it up quite nicely.........;)
can we simply force McCrazy to be a democrat ?
Sad why? That’s who he is. He’s been a prima donna for years.
If CNN is breaking this story you know it’s a bucket of that stuff mucked out of a horse stall.
If it’s coming from McCain; make it a double bucket full.
Yeah McCain - you’re MY SUBORDINATE you piss ant twit.
Now repeal Obamacare and rework the tax code.
And get your ass out of Italy and do some work in Texas where the citizens of the US need you and stop brownosing the UN you pig dog.
John McCain, who are working for anyway?
Some of our elected servants cannot get over the fact that THE AMERICAN PEOPLE put Donald J. Trump in the Oval Office. They cannot get over the fact that WE wanted someone other than a non-producing senator or congressman. We wanted a business MAN, whose proven himself in the wild world of business to lead us. Yes, I;m sure mccain would not have approved of Lincoln, Grant nor Eisenhower. They were too honest for the likes of him.
mccain ran twice for the office of the president. I think one reason was to outrank his father and grandfather who were both 4 star admirals.
Yet, McInsane treats presidents as his subordinate.
...McCain wrote Thursday in a Washington Post op-ed...
He probably has his own plush office there.
Yet, McInsane treats presidents as his subordinate.Not all of them.
"We must respect his authority and constitutional responsibilities"
I have not seen nor heard one word of respect or any example of responsible behavior on your part, Senator!
6. He can never become President.
I hope McCain dies soon. He didn’t have a problem with Congress being subordinate to Obama.
Being the dossier bag man, does he realize he is responsible for Russia Russia Russia, which pretty much has brought the peoples business to a standstill ?
