Progressive Minds

So King George seems to think that his nominees are somehow entitled to an up or down vote.  One of his main talking points has been that he expects up or down votes on the nominations he sends to the United States Senate.

Well King George, contrary to your popular belief, you are NOT a country unto yourself, and no where in our Constitution does it say that the Senate is required to give any or all presidential nominees an up or down vote.

It's clear that you have no respect for the fact that our founding fathers crafted three separate but co-equal branches of government.  And they gave the legislative Branch of our government the responsibility for oversight, and advise and consent.

When a Presidential nominee fails to fully disclose their fundamental views, and shows blatant disrespect for the confirmation process, the United States Senate is under no obligation to give that nominee an up or down vote.

So King George, that's my civics lesson to you today. Maybe Laura can read this to you.
