Thank you for making that point.

One thing that really bothers me about Congress is it’s ability to shift the buck.

Instead of doing their duty, they set up some sham investigation or committee to look at things, which will never turn into anything tangible.

Here they have the ability to defer their job on yet another issue.

If anyone thinks our past presidents would conform to the law, I think they’re sadly mistaken.

Bill Clinton and Obama committed acts that could be seen as treason. That doesn’t convince me they’d stick to the law now, or at a future date.

If anything, this loophole you’ve pointed out should be eliminated.

Eliminating it would take a Constitutional amendment. Right now, it is best left undefined by law.

I can't imagine, in today's partisan climate, how such a law would ever get passed. I can image a future Democrat Congress-President trying to create a partisan body just in case a future "Trump" should win again.
