It is only that if the President can show that his work is so crucial that it will be materially impacted by compliance with the subpoena.

I would think that if somebody has the time to fire off 50 tweets a day (while not sworn to tell the truth) that he can come answer a few questions under oath.

Your President did not receive a subpoena, however he has illegally directed his staff to ignore any subpoenas they have received. That is the basis for a Contempt of Congress charge.

lol....thanks for proving your illiteracy........I did not ask if there was ever president that didn't ignore at least one congressional subpoena..........I said has there ever been a presidency........I am specifically referring to an administration.......during the four or eight years of the terms of every president that I can remember congress has attempted to subpoena someone in the administration and the president has directed that person to refuses.......

if that is the basis for impeachment every president at least since the beginning of the 20th Century should have been impeached......

Hello Southern Chicken,



Your first statement was negated with the first two words of your second.

You essentially admitted that yes, Congress does have that power.

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......
 
It's going to be a very MERRY IMPEACHMENT CHRISTMAS!

America has needed this.

I wish everyone a very
:cheer: MERRY IMPEACHMENT CHRISTMAS! :usflag:

Its always best to read an article before posting it. here is an excerpt from YOURS:

Congress has three formal methods by which it can combat non-compliance with a duly issued subpoena. Each of these methods invokes the authority of a separate branch of government. 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.
