The legislature DOES NOT work for the president.
This one might actually make my head explode.

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.

@kylegriffin1 I saw this live & I yelled at my TV screen.

@kylegriffin1 I saw that live. How f'ing awful

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.”
@kylegriffin1 *headdesk* FFS, @TedYoho, that's NOT how this works! At all!

@kylegriffin1 @jbarro did this guy take any civics classes? this is pretty basic stuff.

@kylegriffin1 a fundamental misunderstanding of congress' role.

@kylegriffin1 He does NOT work for the president. Jesus.
— John Reeves (@reevesjw) March 30, 2017
@kylegriffin1 No, that's not how this works. The president is not your boss. All of you are elected officials.

@kylegriffin1 Our founding fathers established checks & balances for a reason. Nunes does not work for the President he works for the people. #stooge
— Kermanetherunner (@KermaneB) March 30, 2017
@kylegriffin1 He doesn't answer to the president though. These branches are separate for a reason. They are supposed to check executive power.
— Ella's Girl (@ellasgirl7) March 30, 2017
@kylegriffin1 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
— Brian Ray (@slimray11) March 30, 2017
@kylegriffin1 Congress is a co-equal branch of government. Congressmen do not work for, or answer to, the President.
— JerseyLawyer (@TodayAgain1) March 30, 2017
@kylegriffin1 Seriously! I'd love to hear Yoho explain how Congressional checks + balances on Executive work, if they have to "answer to the President"!
— Ryan Janus (@RyanCJanus) March 30, 2017
How does a co-equal in government "answer to" the President exactly? Good grief. https://t.co/KD7m3YODlp

@kylegriffin1 Wonder who @RepTedYoho works for?…maybe his Florida constituents should tell him..
