    Except for the part where he's done exactly what he told us he would as a candidate.

    Other that that, sure.

    "Secrecy" is permitted, but it only takes 1/5th of the Senators present to call for a recorded roll call of the Yeas and Nays, by name. So...it's probably impractical and a very, very, very long-shot.

    when is Mexico paying for a wall across the entire southern border?

    Trump said everyone would be covered as his health care initiative?

    like I said, failed campaign promises are not the same as the lies Trump is telling, not even in the same ball park

    a campaign promise is what they want to have happen, Congress also decides, so there has to be compromise

    example

    "Obama, GOP's Snowe work on health care compromise"

    http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/09/02/health.care.compromise/

    "The compromise plan would lack a government-run public health insurance option favored by Obama, but would leave the door open to adding that provision down the road under an idea proposed by Snowe, the sources said."

    Councilor, juries can and are polled. Every jury member is called by name and the member is required to declare the verdict before it is recorded by the court.

    Speak to us of secret verdicts again...

    If impeachment wasn't supposed to be used, it wouldn't have been put into the Constitution. Presumably, it covers information either new or not available to the voter at the time of the last election.

    Impeachment was NEVER meant to be used as a witch hunt...I don't care how many times you tell me "constitution" the mere suggestion that what the Dems are doing is constitutional is ludicrous

    Perhaps, you need to keep up with the details. The Democrats are only responding to Trump actions.

    I don’t ****ing believe the question... here goes part of my respect :wall:

    So the constituents know if the man/woman they sent to Washington is voting in accordance with his mandate. If the vote is secret, how would they know that?

    Jeeee...

    SCOTUS should not be a partisan entity, I would prefer them all be independent center leaning constitutional lawyers but neither side wants that...
    And the EC needs to at minimum follow how it was originally laid out in the constitution, the house is severely unrepresentative which also skews the EC.

    It would only apply to the trial, jurors votes are usually kept confidential to limit undue influence.

    So you are expecting others to fight fair after the stunts, trolling and lies by the red hats.
    Civility is dead unfortunately, the effects from this will be felt for decades.

    I guess for the same reason you feel these people that are now enjoying the largest welfare hound out in the history of the country should be able to tell others how to live.

    In other words, the constituency is not entitled to know how their representative is voting in the matters of everyday importance?

    Oh boy... :buggered:
