    Read the section of the Constitution that is the subject of this thread, dipshit. Or at least have Gammy read it to you.

    Yeah.....THE HOUSE said, "If you fail to comply with these subpoenas WE WILL CONSIDER THIS AN OBVIOUS ACT OF OBSTRUCTION and WE WILL PROCEED DIRECTLY TO A FORMAL IMPEACHMENT.....". I personally laughed my ass off when Mr. Trump's state department allowed the EU ambassador to fly all the way from Brussels to the US....wait within minutes, and then say no...."not so fast".

    He called their bluff.....Trump said, YOUR MOVE....impeach away.

    You will not see any formal impeachment from SHITLESS and STAMMERING NANCY....because they are not abiding by the rules of the Constitution in relation to a congressional impeachment proceeding....why are they using a behind closed doors (wink, wink) IMPEAHCMENT? They do not want the PEOPLE to see or hear the entire picture...there is no transparency …..they will hold the hearing and LEAK selected parts of the hearing to their cohorts (THE PRESS). What...THE PEOPLE are supposed to take the word of 2 people in order to remove a setting POTUS from office? That is not the work of a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC...that is banana republic tactics.

    Let's see this TOOTHLESS TIGER actually attempt to impeach Mr. Trump....he called their bluff....they are dead in the water as their Subpoenas hold no LEGAL PENALTY.....they are simply saying...WE WILL REALLY IMPEACH YOU IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH OUR PLANS...really, we mean it....you will be in so much trouble....

    LAUGH MY ASS OFF.

    What does the constitution actually say about impeachment? "The impeachment process must be initiated in the HOUSE OF RERESENTATIVES (plural...to mean ALL INCLUSIVE...it does not grant 2 people the authority to hold a behind closed doors KANGAROO COURT....THE HOUSE of REPRESENTATIVE(S) must pass a resolution...."

    1. Where is that up/down passage of a any resolution? 2. "IF PASSED BY THE HOUSE...." What was passed by the house in an up/down ON THE RECORD VOTE? Nothing.. that is exactly why the co-equal branch of government (THE EXECUTIVE...which is constitutionally protected due to national security concerns) said to these 2 individuals...EAT MY SHORTS...impeach my ass.

    This is a REPRESENTATIVE "CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC"......all sides must be represented and given the chance to defend against any charges...to include IMPEACHMENT. What SHITLESS and STAMMERING NANCY are doing is not constitutional......the minority party is being denied the right of due process in not being able to call their own witnesses to refute the one sided charges.

    THE WORST PART FOR THE DEMCORATS? They know this....that's why there will never be a formal up/down vote. That's why they are behind closed doors, that's why its not the Judicial committee that is holding this supposed impeachment inquiry, its the INTELL COMMITTEE that can't issue any legal subpoenas....that's why they are not being TRANSPARENT with THE PEOPLE. THEY DON'T HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF THEIR OWN PARTY, might less the entire HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

    Democrats about to suffer another "boy that cried wolf". soon no one will believe anything they say

    And let's not forget the real reason they are starting this diversion / deflection

    Barr is hard at work in the background, there's some serious hurt coming Democrats way on the phony FISA warrant debacle
    I hear Hillary and Bill are buying property in Kenya to hide out with our last "President"

    As PMP posted, The Constitution gives the House of Representatives the sole power to impeach an official, and it makes the Senate the sole court for impeachment trials.

    As PMP also posted, Pelosi is not the House of Representatives, she is just one member.

    Why is she afraid for the full House to vote?

    We all know the answer to that question.

    There is no Constitutional Impeachment until the full House votes.

    Take the vote!

    The full house will vote on impeachment, however the House does not have to vote to begin an impeachment inquiry.

    You do understand that the Speaker is the individual chosen to lead the majority in the House, right? Like Ryan was before he quit? Did you complain when he was Speaker that he was being way too bossy, or is that just reserved for female Speakers? lol

    what grounds could you possibly impeach on,
    no quid pro quo now, soooo
    A newly unearthed document shows that Ukrainian officials had opened a new probe into the firm linked to Hunter Biden months before President Trump's phone call with that country's leader, Fox News contributor John Solomon reported late Tuesday.

    I hesitate to even use that word, "impeach"

    however when you get 66 votes in the Senate let me know

    Article II, Section 4 states the reasons for which impeachment can occur. Democrats getting their asses kicked in 2016 doesn't fit any of them.
    So, now you're telling us that you've got a law degree.

    You really are dense. No one saying she isn't speaker, but can't call for an impeachment hearing alone.

    BTW, when holder was held in contempt and democrats ignored house supbeanas, did that both you?
