The Imperial Presidency, Part 2

[Labster]

Bingo card update!

U.S. House closes until the midterms after Republican brings resolution to impeach Hegseth

You know, I honestly thought columns 2 and 4 would be the hard ones, but here we are.

I think we should count groundbreaking for the arch, though. As we have seen from the reflecting pool debacle, we can't expect these guys to be good at building things.  We've not started the arch yet, but getting closer: FAA clears proposed Trump arch, requires 'eternal flame' to alert pilots  Just what we needed, eternal use of fossil fuels, but for safety's sake of course.

Also Congress doesn't get to review the election until January 3, which pushes the end of this bingo card into the first weeks of January.  J. Michael Luttig, a retired conservative judge, has this take on how the US Constitution might be discarded: January 3, 2027 - The Final Battle for America’s Democracy.  I think a lot of people naively think that if Democrats win by a landslide in November that they will be allowed to take office, but what if it turns out that the results of the election were corrupt, and the only way to save democracy is for the GOP to ban all opposition parties?
