    without the Consent of the Congress

    I mean, he’s a sack of shit for certain, but Congress has the power to stop this and will not, so it is implicit consent.

      That is not what consent is

      First, I agree with you. But, even if Congress opposes him accepting it, they can’t enforce it. Pretty sure Congress wrote into law that we were supposed to have the Epstein files a month ago.

        Congress can impeach and convict for any offense at all, which would remove him from the presidency. Short of that, a president may do as he pleases, because the courts have no similar analog. Sad to say it, but it’s true.
