It looks very unlikely Democrats will take the Senate

Always remember---the legislative can impeach the executive---and its not a two way street. And there is not word one about political parties in the constitution.

But I can not think of a time in recent history where Washington has been as partisan.

It has been this bad for ages.

Btw the executive can toss out senators in office if they are found to be guilty of high crimes. If a senator is convicted of a crime they are sent to jail. The process is different but it is the same result.

looks like the RNC is giving up on Ohio, pulling all their money out of the state and routing it to either NJ or VA.

my money's on VA... NJ television advertising is probably too expensive to be worth it, since you're basically forced to buy spots in two of the largest (ie: costliest for advertisers) markets in the country (NYC and Philly)

You are such a constructive poster.

In all fairness, his :laugh:s per post percentage is unrivaled.

What he lacks in intellect he makes up for with :laugh: I must say I find it very endearing. 😉

If you are sitting in jail, you are tossed out of congress.

One would expect to see one who is convicted of an appropriate crime to be 'tossed' but it is not the executive what does the 'tossing'.

The executive is charged with making sure the laws of our country are executed.

Executing the law = imprisonment, not removal from Congress.

What if Bush trumped up a charge against Ted Kennedy or Pete Stark and put him in jail? Congress could see it as the abuse of power it was and leave the person as a member - and consider impeaching Bush for the abuse.

Admit you were wrong, Genx, yeesh.

This isnt a hard concept to understand, you throw somebody in jail they are out of congress.

Yeesh.

Which has not to do with the 'tossing' from Congress... the Constitution gives that right to the Congress.

It's hard for you. Congressman goes to jail, they are *not* automatically out of Congress.

The Congress can decide to expel or not expel the member; if the Congress feels that the executive abused its power, they are likely not to expel the member.

The President cannot expel a member of Congress.

Yeesh.
