Can the President be held in contempt of Congress?
The Constitution says that power to declare war lies solely with Congress.
Yet, Trump sent the US military to nab Venezuela's head of state (and his wife).
I think that Trump violated the Constitution and Congress's will, and should be put in that little dungeon under the US Capitol.
@johnlogic The problem is that it's up to the people that we elected to Congress, and we elected ed and reelected really crappy congresspeople.
We should stop reelecting these same people as they fail us over and over again.
So long as we elect these people we are getting the government that we voted for.
Not all in Congress are spineless weasels.

The nice thing about the US system is that we hold individuals accountable for their own actions. I think this is an advantage over parliamentary systems for example.
So not all in Congress are spineless? Well okay, but we can judge each one to see whether we should reelect them based on their performance. How does your particular representative act?
So I really don't care how they posture, I want to see whether they are voting to make Congress work. Democrats could have taken over the speakership already, they have the votes with just a couple of Republicans from the slim majority.
But they tend to be pretty spineless since they haven't.
