Five Constitutional crises that actually existed - National Constitution Center

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has repeatedly told the Senate Judiciary Committee that Congress risked a “constitutional crisis” if it asked him to turn over documents related to the Fast and Furious gun scandal. But is the situation really that dire?

Then we have this about the McCain affair that never happened. How nice after printing the article they explain it, sort of... https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/24/opinion/24pubed.html

Opinion | What That McCain Article Didn’t Say

If a newspaper is going to suggest an improper sexual affair by a presidential candidate, it owes readers more proof than The Times was able to provide.

Just another salvo in the attempt to undermine a constitutionally elected, sitting president. This person may be an appointee or a career, highly placed, civil servant. If he/she is an appointee, the right thing to do is resign, subversion is not a resume builder. That is what this is an attempt at.

I agree with you Jeff. Try to avoid ending your sentences with prepositions.

Thanks for the rare agreement. I will mark this one down.

Contrary to popular belief you can end sentences with a preposition. If you remove the proposition and the sentence will work without it, you should remove it. That isn't the case here. I could have added a word to the sentence such as "doing" but I shoot for brevity and simplicity in sentences, less is sometimes more.

Prepositions, Ending a Sentence With

Yes, you can end a sentence with a preposition

Cpl Jeff N. - Sure, you can. It is just poor form. Not a crime or anything, and it may be common where you come from. (Yes, I did that on purpose)

“If the president’s closest advisers believe that he is morally and intellectually unfit for his high office, they have a duty to do their utmost to remove him from it, by the lawful means at hand.”

They can’t do anything. Only Congress and voters can remove a sitting president, and neither is going to happen.

I have always been interested in fortune tellers and those that claim they can see into the future. Do you throw the chicken bones, or is reading tea leaves more you thing?
