The Constitution of which you speak, is illegitimate.

The Congress does not have a right to investigate a President if he has done nothing wrong. That would mean it would be an illegitimate impeachment. That means "executive privilege" permits the president to ignore all subpoenas and requests from an illegitimate Congress with their unconstitutional requests.

Is this what Trump and his lawyers are arguing??

Impeachment is one of the responsibilities of the House of Representatives, Article I, Section 2

Reasons for Impeachment Article II, Section 4....The POTUS, VPOTUS, and Civil Officers shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors...

Trump is shouting at the moon on this. He can bitch all he wants. The more he does, the longer the list of Articles of Impeachment grows.

Flat out doesn't care about the rules. Period.

The lawyers are trying to defend the indefensible.
