I’m guessing the school never picked up on it because no kid ever reported it and he was smart enough to not say anything like that on any random sit in he might have had.

They have oversight authority through the ability to legislate, definitely. They can look at what was done in order to study whether there is appropriate legislative action they can take to shore up holes in the law. They also likely have authority to investigate through their impeachment powers to determine whether a…

It arguably doesn't even need to be a legislative purpose. They have some oversight authority through the impeachment and emoluments clauses too, arguably.

How important is the presidency in Ukraine? I know many countries have a semi-presidential system where there is both a president and a prime minister but the PM is really the most important position and is the head of government. The reverse can also be true - such as presidents Putin and Macron having strong powers…

My guess is they stored them away for the photo shoot so that people wouldn’t see them and would see the bathroom “how it’s supposed to look” or some such garbage.

Big mistake, Ivanka. Leading the World Bank would have been the perfect way to bolster her resume when she runs for President in 10 years.

She’s Lithuanian, not Russian.

It’s the Dragonzord Battle Mode.

That might be less constitutional. The courts have struck down extra-constitutional requirements for office before, holding that the requirements for office set forth in the Constitution are the only requirements. However, they have upheld filing dates, signature requirements, and filing fees for ballot access enacted…

He could be subject to the criminal provisions, potentially, but the automatic dismissed from office provision would be inapplicable. The Constitution is supreme, and it provides that a President leaves office only upon death, resignation, impeachment and conviction, 25th Amendment, and expiration of term. A mere…

Violation of the public trust. Hamilton wrote about it in Federalist Paper #65. It is well accepted among constitutional scholars that abuse of power, such as abuse of pardon power, is covered as one of the “high crimes” for which a person could be impeached and removed.

You must not understand what "for the sake of argument" means.

This is disgusting.

For the sake of argument, let’s assume Trump is right that immigrants are all rapists, murderers, etc. They’re not, but let’s assume they are.

This means that the fucking President of the United States is willing to unleash a horde of violent criminals on liberal cities whose policies he doesn’t…

From what I recall, in the past, the government has enacted laws which gave either chamber of Congress a kind of legislative veto. Those laws were then struck down by the courts violative of the Bicameralism and Presentment clauses.

Focusing on past support for/opposition to same sex marriage is one thing. However, how do these candidates respond to questions regarding anti-discrimination laws? Do they think the current laws, such as Title VII, protect against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender expression? Do they think…

And as an added benefit, if literacy reduces recidivism, well... Reduce literacy, and you get more heads in the prison for the for-profit prisons to make money off. Squeeze them by making them pay for books and squeeze them by getting paid by the state if the get thrown back in. Win win (for the prison company).

Ssecret Service reports to Homeland Security? I thought they were a part of Treasury due to their responsibility in investigating counterfeiting. Or was this part of the post-9/11 reorganization of departments?

Yacht Club Games delayed King of Cards a couple of months ago, I thought.

When did you move to OH? A few years after 9/11, Congress passed the Real ID Act which set forth requirements for state issued IDs to be accepted by the federal government. Very generally, among these was the requirement that the issued ID be issued after the presentation of a birth certificate. The states were given…

I think Iron Man 2 gets too much hate. It’s not one of the best, not by a long shot. But it’s a perfectly serviceable film from when the MCU was still getting its legs. And it was important for Tony’s character growth.
