Whatever may be said further about that, a constitutional precedent is being set in the House chamber that could lead to a rupture in how the two elected branches of the national government deal with the most sensitive of issues over global security.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t remember it being an issue when members of Congress told President Bush that &#8220;you&#8217;re not the boss of me&#8221;;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=37400\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37400\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Pelosis-Munich-moment-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"Pelosi&#039;s Munich moment\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-37400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Pelosis-Munich-moment-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Pelosis-Munich-moment.jpg 490w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=34282\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-34282\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/pelosi-assad-300x219.jpg\" alt=\"Syrian President Bashar al-Assad shakes hands with U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Damascus\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-34282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/pelosi-assad-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/pelosi-assad.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=37399\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37399\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/John-Kerrys-Munich-Moment-300x240.jpg\" alt=\"John Kerry&#039;s Munich Moment\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-37399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/John-Kerrys-Munich-Moment-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/John-Kerrys-Munich-Moment-414x333.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/John-Kerrys-Munich-Moment.jpg 634w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m thinking that Pelosi and her delegation to Assad, and Senator John Kerry&#8217;s delegation to Syria probably did more to harm our relations in the region than inviting the Israeli Prime Minister to speak to Congress, especially when the figurehead of our government, our face overseas, refuses to meet with Benjamin Netanyahu because he wants his nation to survive in the face of Iranian nuclear weapons.<\/p>\n<p>There was no discussion about it when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/storyline\/u-s-cuba-relations\/human-thing-senator-says-no-politics-cuban-sperm-deal-n273106\">Pat Leahy was a mule for Cuban spy sperm<\/a> from the US to the prisoner&#8217;s wife in Cuba.
