The issue is now before the Congress of the United States. And the question before the House if you will is - will they do their duty? The Constitution is very clear - that responsibility to uphold the laws of this land. And the judgement of an\u003cbr/\u003eindependent counsel, appointed by the attorney general of the United States is the commander-in-chief, head of state, chief executive has broken the law.
