POTUS has exclusive control over who, when and under what circumstances.
I’ll save him some time researching it, no they can’t. Classification access is handled by the executive branch, not the legislative branch.
I thought I read where Trump was supposed to begin getting those briefings a few weeks ago.
A number of people have pointed that out. Is this in the Constitution?
Yep, and Clinton already knows that very well. After all, there were dozens of Clinton appointees who never passed the FBI background checks and the FBI constantly was dogging them about it and the Clintons just overruled them and told them to pound sand.
Versus the most.
What he actually said:
“POTUS has exclusive control over who, when and under what circumstances.”
True - but if access is provided to candidate Clinton it will be in spite of all precedent:
As Comey said - “To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions.”
Thus - security or administrative sanctions should be in place, and if not then it is clear beyond any argument that Zero and his administration has placed politics above the law (as if everything else they do has not mad it clear).
Article II, Section 1:
“The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”
That’s it right there, separation of powers.
From the Paul Ryan Secret Code Book:
“Look Into”: This term is generally used to infer some action that will either not occur or, in the rare instances when it does, will accomplish nothing.
If the intelligence community wanted to get information to Baraq Obama, why don’t they just publish in the local newspaper? Or even better, take out ads on ESPN with the content, so it’s more likely that he would see it when he catches up on his sports Jones?
And the kabuki show continues ....go to hell RINO!!
Dump Ryan
How is this defined as an executive power? Is it really such, any more than any of these executive agencies that exert de facto legislative power are a “constitutional” executive purview? Looks like unfaithful execution to me.
Ryan you are a hopeless spineless cajoneless imp...sit down and shut up an save me the pepto for acid reflux
Sounds like a reference to Habbakuk 1:4.
Calling him that is an implication that he stood for anything conservative in the first place.
“How is this defined as an executive power?”
All the agencies that produce classified information are in the executive branch. All the agencies that decide what material should be classified are in the executive branch. All the agencies that determine who gets access to classified information are in the executive branch.
Classification is essentially an internal administrative designation for information produced by the executive branch.
