Bill Clinton was banging half the White house and we never got a sniff until after Lewinsky. And the reason for this is because there's a huge number of people who still can't accept that he won the election.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | In Switzerland you can not. Once the law passed all steps it is the law, even when it contradicts the constitution.
It is also reasonable and logical in case of Switzerland. The highest authority is the people. They can veto any law by collecting 50k signatures from the voters. If that happens a popular vote will be held. If it passes it passed for good. As the very same voters have the power to change the constitution anyway they want. A Yes (or silent approval in case there is no veto) of the voter is the approval that an otherwise unconstitutional law is o.k. | | | | | Also interesting situation in the UK that has no written Constitution so what comprises the Constitution is debatable.
In the US;
The Congress, whenever two-thirds of both Houses [the House and the Senate] shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution . . ." Three-fourths of the states have to approve the amendment for it to become law.
The Russian sanctions Bill easily passed the "two-thirds of both Houses" rule so they just need three-fourths of the States to approve to make it Constitutionally bullet proof |

One step closer to impeachment. Grand jury convened.
"A special counsel investigating claims of Russian meddling in the US election has reportedly empanelled a grand jury.
The US media reports suggest Robert Mueller's inquiry has taken the first step towards possible criminal charges.
According to Reuters news agency, the jury has issued subpoenas over a June 2016 meeting between President Donald Trump's son and a Russian lawyer."
"Earlier on Thursday, the US Senate introduced two separate cross-party bills designed to limit the Trump administration's ability to fire Mr Mueller.
The measures were submitted amid concern the president might dismiss Mr Mueller, as he fired former FBI director James Comey in May, citing the Russia inquiry in his decision." http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40820863
Expect soon Trump pardons son, Congress impeaches Trump, job done.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: | |  | | | | | | | | So far (July 14) Trump has named 206 nominees for Govt. jobs that need confirmation by the Senate, while at the same point Obama had named 355, George W. Bush had named 313, Clinton had named 267 and George H.W. Bush had named 243.
It is dangerous for politicians to point to Stock Exchange successes because when the Market crashes then they get the blame; market successes and crashes usually are not due to political actions, e.g. sub prime mortgages.
Incoming President Barack Obama's budget request for FY 2010 totalled $3.55 trillion and was passed by Congress on April 29, 2009.
As of August Trump's 2018 budget request has not yet been discussed by Congress; in fact Trump did not even bother to announce details of his budget request until May 23rd.

He really is getting (relatively speaking) nothing done. Something we should probably be grateful for.

| | Re: Will Trump be a Good President? | Quote: |  | | | Take a look at Medea's links. He really is getting (relatively speaking) nothing done. Something we should probably be grateful for. | | | | | Corey Lewandowski, President Donald Trump's former campaign manager, is calling for voters to hold the President accountable for the pledges he made during the election.
"Elected officials need to be held accountable," Lewandowski said Thursday at an event at The City Club in Cleveland. "And the President is my friend but if he doesn't fulfill those promises, if he doesn't follow through on the things he told the American people he will do, the accountability is at the ballot box in three and a half years."
Lewandowski listed several of Trump's campaign promises that have yet to be realized. Source
Even Trump's friends notice nothing is happening |

Trump said that he would create jobs, he would cut illegal immigration and he would put Americans first - and he actually seems to be doing that.

Stock Market at an all-time high. That doesn't just happen!
And I guess the fact that illegal immigration was down 67% after four months of Trump is clearly just an after-effect of the strong policies set by Obama
