    • Where is the FBI, US Marshalls, US Attorneys, AG, and PRESIDENT... where is law enforcement on these very critical issues?  Apparently, the system is unable to act, and when civil authority is unable to act. Martial Law must step up to the plate to enforce the rule of law until civil authority can act and act properly to enforce our laws.

    • I can just see your response, but I have to state, anyone in immediate line of succession to the Oval Office (the Speaker) is deemed too vital to be immediately arrested. and must suffer impeachment first (so where are the patriot House Representitives?). This allows replacement and then liability to prosecution. Selection or appointment to office has consequences for those who make them, and live with them. This is why I look to the root cause being the waivering faith and ethics of the self-indulgent People. Some of them are getting what they deserve, but at the cost of innocent others. We citizens are all politically connected at the waist like mountain climbers. I invite you to click on my Avatar and take a look-see at my summary about the state of our affairs. It pretty much sums up my slant on things.

    • Michael...

      First, one doesn't IMPEACH members of the House... they are Expelled.  Next, the Speaker of the House doesn't have to be a member of the House to be Speaker.  Pelosi could be expelled and remain Speaker.  Finally, indicting or jailing the Speaker/Pelosi doesn't remove her from her elected office or as Speaker. She can be Speaker and a member of the House while in PRISON.  See Article 2, Section 5, Clause 2 of the US Constitution for the Constitutional rule for removing members of Congress from their offices. 

      The House of Representatives must EXPEL her to remove her from her Congressional seat... and it must approve a motion to vacate, to remove her as Speaker.  By arresting and indicting her, she becomes a candidate for EXPULSION and removal as Speaker, however, it is not automatic.  The motion to vacate to remove a Speaker has been used on several occasions in the past.  John Boehner was the last speaker challenged using it and he resigned before being removed. See: https://history.house.gov/People/Office/Speakers-List/

      Many of our Citizens haven't a clue on how the government works...  or what the Constitution states about how government functions.  Your post is an open indictment of that problem.  Prosecution of a member of Congress can and has been done many times while they hold their offices.  In fact, some have drawn their salary while in prison waiting to be 'expelled' or for their term in office to expire.

    • Regarding Article 2,section 5:, clause 2 your point is taken. I found that Pelosis' abrupt arrest is possible (without removal from office) and described in Article1, Section 6:

      " The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place."

      I am still alarmed that an office like the Presidency is deemed so vital, that special pains for continuities sake are taken to gain access for trial, yet office holders to fill an Oval Office vacancy do not necessarily meet the same high bar. The Truman era act of Succession creates questions. But then, both Roosevelt and Truman were socialists, which may be why the Senate President pro tem is listed forth, and not third in line.

      The Constitution, though vigorous in brevity, is not literally perfect, and still evolving. Related to a previous posts thought that the words need to be taken for what they say (not you), it is fair to ask if the words meaning was what was intended.

    • Whether it is called "impeachment', or a "vote of no confidence", nothing will pry Nancy loose during her term, until full faith and confidence in her (or her power broking grip in the House) is discredited. My point. This condition ought to  prevent a crisis of confidence of executive leadership endorsed by the People. Frankly, I am less convinced at this point. On this site, and I am sure others, there is a howl to arrest and try the Speaker of the House for sedition, likely treason (and finally insurrection if she endorses secession). 

      The notion of impeaching the Speaker is not novel to me, although the trend is "no":

      The Presidential Succession Act of 1947, defines the 18 positions of succession. But the intent to select appointed officers that are easily dismissed seems alarmingly prone to political intrigue. The Constitution as it stands now, only provides this succession through the recent 25th Amendment. I find no mention of using anyone other than a civil officer is found in the founders language for this. Curious that they did not forsee the possibilities. I think they assumed a moral citizenry expecting ethics and fidelity in office would zero out the political hijynx. That would be optimism to a fault.

      So it looks like the impeachment of a Representitive or a Speaker is unlikely. But other means must first be used to gain the outcome. Continuity of government issues jump out to me. The idea of an office of an impeachable executive being filled by a previously unimpeachable sucessor raises my eyebrows. How about yours?

      But your observation,  "Your post is an open indictment of that problem." is open for further development, if you feel it would benefit us all.
