@Island_Martha well it’s just how this is supposed to work under separation of powers.

The executive branch is unlikely to prosecute itself. That would be a bizarre for it to take itself to trail.

However, Congress still has this mechanism to formally express its displeasure, and it helps them to build a record should they decide to take more actions within their powers.

This is simply how the process is supposed to work.

@volkris
There are lots of things that are supposed to work like this, but just now they don't. So I'll believe it when it happens or in this case doesn't happen

@Island_Martha I don’t know what you mean.

We’re talking about it happening, so it did?
