Not "capital police" but "Capitol Police" ~ and yes, the Speaker could have directed the Sergeant of Arms to direct the "Capitol Police" to arrest anyone for anything and NOBODY would rescue the arrestee.

Back to the separation of powers, each House is granted full authority by the Constitution to make its own rules. They have further set aside Capitol Hill (US Capitol and various office buildings, as well as field offices) as a Congressional reserve where their rules apply.

The Executive visits by way of an invitation. He doesn't just go up there and do stuff ~ he has to be asked.

Pelosi's resolution came in the form of her election as Speaker of the House, and she could have arrested Karl Rove any time she wished.

Now, is Nancy Pelosi nuts? Well, of course, but the Democrats are nuttier than she is ~ they elected her Speaker. Fortunately she was thrown out of that job in 2010's election.

Now we have Boehner. Would he arrest Rove?

The left is even more insane than that - They elected her Speaker in 2007, and then after all that damage she caused turned around and REELECTED her again in 2009. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. I guess one could argue they didn't want different results just more liberalism.

RE :”Now, is Nancy Pelosi nuts? Well, of course, but the Democrats are nuttier than she is ~ they elected her Speaker. Fortunately she was thrown out of that job in 2010’s election.”

Watching her work I have come to the conclusion that she is not half as nutty as she talks. IN 2007 and 2008 she let the Conyers JC have all the play votes they wanted against Bush WH people but she held the line against any impeachment votes or arresting anyone or in any way bringing her bad publicity. She also gave Cindy Sheenan the boot who was banned from MSNBC after being built up to be a cult hero there.

Pelosi had one thing in mind: absolute power in 2009 and she wasnt letting her impatient progressive members screw it up for her.

Pelosi is a fighter and a real leader of her caucus., Boehner is a weakling.

Are you saying Boner could have arrested Pres. Obama when he went there for the State of the Union?

Well, why didn't he?

“Now we have Boehner. Would he arrest Rove? “

“Boner” wouldn’t arrest a ham sandwich! Gutless bastard!
