    no......the only way they can enforce a subpoena is to ask the judicial branch to do it........since they did not apply to the courts to enforce the subpoena (knowing it would not do so unless the House voted) they cannot sustain a case of contempt or obstruction.......the executive branch ignored no court orders......

First, the long dormant inherent contempt power permits Congress to rely on its own constitutional authority to detain and imprison a contemnor until the individual complies with congressional demands. Second, the criminal contempt statute permits Congress to certify a contempt citation to the executive branch for the criminal prosecution of the contemnor. Finally, Congress may rely on the judicial branch to enforce a congressional subpoena. Under this procedure, Congress may seek a civil judgment from a federal court declaring that the individual in question is legally obligated to comply with the congressional subpoena.

    if that is the basis for impeachment every president at least since the beginning of the 20th Century should have been impeached......
    Listen you pathetic idiot, if you bothered to read my post, it said that the President directed his staff to ignore subpoenas. That has never happened before.

    Its best that you give this up. You aren't very bright to post an article that totally agrees with my posts.

    Do you not see Congressional power plus a co equal branch of government involved in the above?

    Do you really need me to underline the role(s) of the other branches of government in the above for you?
