Goldfarb - Wasserman-Schultz's First Formidable Opponent
The oath of a Naval Officer:
"I, Edward Joel Goldfarb, having been appointed an officer in the Navy of the United States, in the grade of Ensign do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, and bare true faith and allegiance to the same. So, help me God."
This is the Oath I took when I received my commission as a Naval Officer. There is no expiration date on this Oath and I will take it to my grave. Everyone in Congress took a similar Oath. Unfortunately, it appears many must think there is an expiration date or it doesn't apply to them.
Running As a Moderate Conservative
"I'm disgusted with both parties. I am a Republican on the cusp of Independent with Libertarian ideology. The Democrats have cloned into left-wing radicals by condoning, aiding and abetting a President that is doing everything possible to destroy America and the middle-class. The Republicans are in such chaos they can't pass a pack of gum through Congress.
I strongly believe and view our Constitution as a living and perpetual document that has been the guiding light that has made America a great Republic. Furthermore, I'm witnessing the entire body of the Democratic Congressional members and Biden failing to uphold their sworn oaths.- I hold myself to very high standards of honor, integrity, motality and accountability.
- My patriotism is unquestionable. I cannot be intimidated, bought-off, sold, blackmailed or in any way compromised as there are no skeletons in my closet.
- I believe the Constitution is a living and perpetual document and if compromised will lead to the failure of America.
The ass
1. Legislation - The House is one of the two chambers of the United States Congress, along with the Senate. The House has the power to introduce and pass legislation on a wide range of issues.
2. Impeachment - The House has the sole power of impeachment. This means the House can bring charges against a civil officer of the government, such as the President, for "high crimes and misdemeanors." If the House votes to impeach, the matter then goes to a trial in the Senate.
3. Revenue Bills - The House has the exclusive power to initiate revenue bills, such as bills dealing with taxation.
4. Oversight - The House conducts oversight of the executive branch and investigates matters of public importance.
5. Checks and Balances - As part of the legislative branch, the House shares power with the executive and judicial branches through the system of checks and balances outlined in the Constitution.
6. Representation - The 435 members of the House are elected from single-member congressional districts, each representing approximately 750,000 people. This gives the House a direct connection to the people.
