Constitution

The checks and balances in the constitution are designed to have the three branches of government self police. One of these ways is when the congress oversees the actions of the executive. Yesterday the congress voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for his refusal to turn over the Hur tapes. The congress can charge but the congress cannot enforce. Thus it will be up to the Justice Department to enforce the contempt charge by arresting their boss. Congress can have the Sargent at Arms in the house arrest Garland but that can only happen if Garland come to the house. They can go for impeachment but that takes 67 votes in the senate. This means that the executive can do most anything and the congress cannot do anything about it.
