Doesn't they currently have the power? Democrats have had tons of opportunities to make sure republicans could not remove them. Why do you think it will be different this time?

No. Republicans control the House. Democrats cannot pass a bill without their support.

I don’t mean to be a jerk, but why don’t you know that?

There are people outside the USA, you know?

They were commenting with confidence about the current political situation. My first thought was non American, but their statement is quite definitive for someone that doesn’t have a basic understanding of our legislative process.

Like I said, I wasn’t trying to be a jerk. I really wasn’t.
