House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday declared that Congress is a “superior branch” of government, as the clash between congressional Democrats and the Trump administration over closely held documents intensifies.

And this woman, who is speaker of the house, has been in office since 1987. You’d think at some point she’d have at least skimmed over the constitution and noticed that minor detail of co-equal branches of government.

No. It's not. It's exactly equal. That's how our government works.

Last year she said the Speaker of the House wields more power than the President. I think she really believes this.

I think she's going senile.

Seriously, have seen a couple press conferences of hers lately and she didn't come across as all there.

No no no. Congress is the superior branch of government, with the House being superior over the Senate.

Therefore Nancy Pelosi is the true and rightful ruler of this racist, bigoted shithole of a nation!

She was caught fantasizing about the New Democratic Socialist Constitution she has drafted - no 1st, 2nd and 4th Amendments, or EC.

False. Congress can make law without the executive, impeach the executive, and approves judicial appointments.

Well, I guess that ends all the co-equal talk.

That’s ridiculous.

Furthermore the HOR isn’t Congress, it’s the House and the Senate, and last I heard the House’s shenanigans are all on them. The Senate doesn’t agree with their BS.

Was she sucking her teeth when she said it?

That's a sign that she was just having a spell, and should be ignored.

John McCain had no idea what his job as a Senator was as early as 2013, so this doesn't surprise me.

In her mind, the current occupant of the WH didn’t win the popular vote. Thus, he is not the legitimate representative leader. She, however, heads the “People’s” chamber and thus is a true representation of the will of the “majority” of people.

With this logic, it stands to reason that she would believe herself to be the most powerful and important of America’s leaders.

You go read the Constitution. Congress has more power than any other branch, and can fire folks from the other branches. Is that true or false?

Has she formed a complete sentence in the past 5 years?

She's an old drunk on her last downhill slide.

What good are laws no one enforces? If Congress is all powerful, how did Trump shut down the govt?
