Now might be a good time for Republican Congressman Ted Yoho to brush up on how our government is supposed to work:
This exchange.
YOHO: "[Nunes] answers to the president".
MELVIN: Does he? Or does he work for constituents?
YOHO: "Well, you do both." pic.twitter.com/rbeeBiqNFa— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) March 30, 2017
Ted. Ted.

A member of Congress just said another member of Congress "answers to the president." Do I laugh or cry? https://t.co/TPM9TmGYZF

Well, to quote a notable congressman, “You do both.”
*headdesk* FFS, @TedYoho, that's NOT how this works! At all!

He does NOT work for the president. Jesus.

No, that's not how this works. The president is not your boss. All of you are elected officials.

Our founding fathers established checks & balances for a reason. Nunes does not work for the President he works for the people. #stooge

Sounds like someone doesn't understand the job criteria or purpose. You can't be a check and balance if you're subservient to another branch

Congress is a co-equal branch of government. Congressmen do not work for, or answer to, the President.

Seriously! I'd love to hear Yoho explain how Congressional checks + balances on Executive work, if they have to "answer to the President"!
