How can a President refuse to implement legislation passed by Congress? The House voted 419-3 and the Senate voted 98-2 for sanctions against Russia. The last thing that I read indicated the White House was saying the bill alone is enough of a "deterrent" and we don't need to implement actual sanctions now. Why are not more people upset about this? Can a President just ignore legislation passed by Congress? Am I up to date on this situation?
Why would releasing a memo crafted by a single Congressman, that contains classified information which the Department of Justice and the FBI think is dangerous to release, seem like a good idea? Doesn't it seem like a bad precedent to set? One party won't always control every branch of government. Shouldn't we have respect for the recommendations of the DOJ and the FBI? If there is a problem with the FBI, aren't there proper channels to follow to investigate problems?
Regarding immigration, why is the term "chain migration" being used? Shouldn't we want legal immigrants in our country that value intact families? Am I missing something here? Don't many politicians claim to support family values? I feel like this terminology is meant as a scare tactic.
I didn't watch the entire State of the Union address. This is no change for me, I never watched the Obama SOTU speeches. The bit that I did hear seemed to be a call for unity in the country. That sounded good. However, I'm having a hard time believing that message when the first tweet after the speech was the following: "Heading to beautiful West Virginia to be with great members of the Republican Party. Will be planning Infrastructure and discussing Immigration and DACA, not easy when we have no support from the Democrats. NOT ONE DEM VOTED FOR OUR TAX CUT BILL! Need more Republicans in '18!" This just doesn't seem like the effective way to sell the message of unity.
Heavy sigh.....
