Capitol Demonstration Question

Here’s a question no one is asking. Why was Trump, leader of the Executive branch, responsible for protecting the Capitol, the home of the Legislative branch? Why aren’t Schumer and Pelosi on the hook for protecting the Capitol? It’s their office building.

What part of the Constitution says, oh, and the Capitol Building, Congress, and the VP -- they have their own separate security and aren't covered by the Constitution?

@dancingtongue The same part that says abortions are a Constitutional right, perhaps?

@sunsporter1649 You don't understand the Constitution at ALL, do you sporty? Any activities not BANNED in the Constitution are allowed. The Constitution doesn't need to tell you it's OK to chew gum or ride a bike either, dude!!

And abortion was legal and not rare in US colonies until "quickening." By not banning it, the founders gave us that right.

@sunsporter1649 Despite your endless attempts at distraction, I'm still saying the same thing. Here, let me say it again.

@sunsporter1649 Try one more time to read what I wrote. Go slowly. Sound it out. I'm sure that if you try really hard, even with your third grade level of reading comprehension, you can understand it!

@sunsporter1649 Simple answer: I will not do your homework for you.
