Why aren't Democratic members of the House of Representatives

[JMCKUSICK]

Suing President as they all have standing in my view?
Am I wrong in being frustrated that I'm suggesting this and those members aren't?
Please correct me if I'm mistaken in my assumptions.

1. Suing for what?

[JMCKUSICK]

2. To stop trump

From usurping the power of the purse from them.

7. Ok

What are the particulars of the lawsuit that would give the minority party in Congress standing?

11. A suit has to be based on a specific act ( or

omission) not just on a vague generalization. And as he commits acts of usurpation, lawsuits are being brought .

4. Maybe?

Because they hold the purse strings, and legally passed laws that he is disregarding??

[SocialDemocrat61]

8. Republicans are the majority in Congress

so they hold the strings, not democrats.

[JMCKUSICK]

9. The House of Representatives has the power

Not Republicans

[SocialDemocrat61]

13. And republicans control the House of Representatives

It was in the news.

3. We are ok in small parts....

[Think. Again.]

5. I believe (hope!) they are tinally getting their act together...

(Hope, hope, hope....)

6. I thought they would have standing as well.

10. My understanding is that individual members of Congress generally do not have standing in these situations, a majority

must authorize the suit on the chamber’s behalf.

14. Don't belittle a good scheme

with the facts.😉

12. They don't have standing, which requires individualized injury,

and they don't have a cause of action particular to them.
