Republicans will cry that, as well as Trump. But it will be a lie. That is why Trump is itching for a war he will not be able to win because he thinks that is his path to another 4 years.

If it exceeds close to or over half the Democratic Party caucus, Speaker Nancy Pelosi will have no choice but to proceed with Impeachment. The continued BLATANT Obstruction by Trump of Congress's oversight and investigative duties is coming to a head.

Trump is not a King who can do whatever he wants. If Congress does not act according to the US Constitution, then they will be derelict in their duties as well.
