The President is Constitutionally required to ensure that US laws are faithfully executed. Asking a foreign country to investigate whether a US politician broke US laws in that nation’s territorial jurisdiction clearly falls under that Constitutional mandate.
Also, read even more closely, note the word "preferred" here. That Trump "preferred" that Ukraine do something is far different than saying, as Dems allege, that Trump *conditioned* it. I don't think Bolton is helping Dems here (what a shocker, I know). pic.twitter.com/Wi4iDJBZK0— Aaron Maté (@aaronjmate) January 27, 2020
thats been a strategy from the start...the media and opponents simply act like hes not the President...from executive privilege to military matters to firing ambassadors etc...
