Even if we elect a democratic president in 2020 these judges will block every step of progress for the American people. It is time for Schumer and the Senate to put a stop to this.

(401 posts)Even if it's proven that Pres. Trump was born in downtown Moscow .. He's still the legitimate President until he is removed.
Even if the morons had been correct and proved that Pres. Obama had been born in Kenya, or wherever, everything he did prior to being removed would be valid and legitimate.
What makes a President legitimate is winning 270+ electoral votes and the actual president election done by the Electoral college.
In the 2016 election Congress certified the electoral result on January 6, 2017. That made Trump the legitimate President until he is removed, defeated (in 2019), resigns, or passes away.

The Senate is also set confirm Kelly Craft as ambassador to the United Nations and David Norquist as deputy Defense secretary and is likely to approve a two-year budget deal struck by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.
Not bad for a weeks work and thats what the Senate will accomplish before we adjourn for August, McConnell said on the floor.
