Like Benghazi, Whitewater, IRS, etc
That’s the precedent

Oh, so you're concerned about precedent. Interesting.

And you claim to be an originalist, or is it sometimes a living document?

A mix of textualism and originalism.

No.

Interesting precedent you're setting. Verification by accusation.

A claim much like impeachment is not verification or adjudication that comes later in the case of impeachment in the Senate. Trump is also confused by that.
Trump insists “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as President.”
True or false?
“I have the absolute right to declare a national emergency”
True or false?
Just this week the president flatly rejected any notion of congressional oversight. No administration officials will come before Congress to answer questions and no documents will be provided. Preposterously, the letter his lawyer sent to Congress deemed impeachment proceedings—clearly vested in Congress by the Constitution—unconstitutional!

Yeah, well most of your tedious posts are claims and opinions that you gather and pile on to justify or verify your opinion of who Trump really is, and how dangerous to the survival of this nation he is.

Trump insists “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as President.”
True or false?

That is Trump Speak. You have to emphasize the "as President" part. He has the Article II right to do whatever Article II allows him to do "as President".

“I have the absolute right to declare a national emergency”
True or false?

Are you questioning his use of the word "absolute"? You do realize that he tends to exaggerate? Do you even believe that anything can be absolute?

Irrelevant. Congress can go about its business regardless of what his lawyer thinks. And it has powers and means to get documents. And if a document is protected by privilege or any other legal stipulation, then it will have to continue without it. That all is legally correct and justified.
