congress has no spine
It is this reason alone that partisan politics will be the destruction of america. Throughout our history there have only been two specific reasons why a congress has held a president accountable for his actions. When they have been occupied by opposition parties and when the same party president stands to hurt that party by his actions. This should be intolerable by the american people in any case, but even on this very board we see the futility of ever trying to hold a president accountable as representative of the entire country.
A republican led congress has scuttled any inquiry/investigation in to the NSA eavesdropping program at the arm twisting of a republican executive branch. No matter the spin/reason given, this was nothing more than a political party protecting its own. We've seen this time and again throughout history as far back as andrew jackson. We get what we vote for and eventually it will destroy us. yea america.
