DEBATE THE PREMISE That The US Congress Is A Foreign Power Occupating The National Capital of America-Yes? No?

Question

Best statement based in logic and/or evidence will get my ten points regardless of position.

NOTE TO UNIVERSITY MONGOOSE: Ever investigate AIPAC?

Answer 1

YES.

The U.S. government is indeed a covert alien occupation by the United Empire. This U.E. is more commonly known as King George's Royal Court, the British Association of Royalty (The BAR) and other aliases.

Unfortunately the American people did not actually win the revolution. Instead for their own personal gain some of those recognized as this country's fore-fathers went to France and negotiated a deception of the American people. Of which, the people are given the perception(an illusion) of freedom in exchange the Kings Court to remain in secretive power, supposedly everyone wins. After all what slave is willing to work harder than one who thinks their free. This masquerade of democracy worked so well it was employed in all of what are known as British Colonies. England's own so-called revolution being one of the most pathetic charades of all as the movements leader was totally disinterested in it.

Evidence of this E.U.'s presence is exemplified by the legal system that is imposed on this country and its people. Lucidly there are obvious and direct connections to their "Royal Court".

Further, there is NO evidence to support this country is operated by the people, of the people, for the people! Therefore this "democracy" is merely a deception and ALL officers are traitors(sworn in at the BAR).

Answer 2

The US government is a sovereign government with a defined territory and has been recognized as such by its citizens and by the international community for over 225 years. It derives its power from the consent of the governed and like other sovereign nations, it operates under the rule of law. The US constitution, a document adopted by US citizens, sets out the basic structure or framework for the federal government. It is the paramount law of the land and gives power to the US Congress to make the laws. The US Congress thus is a lawfully constituted part of a sovereign federal government. It is a domestic governmental body because it sits in Washington DC, a city which lies within the internationally recognized territory or boundaries of the United States. Therefore it is a domestic unit which yields governmental power, it cannot be a "foreign" or outside power.

Answer 3

Premise is mis-stated. Congressmen are citizens so though they may hold an occupying position (by which we mean controlling basis of laws) they are not foreign, by definition.

So I argue against the statement on the basis of this clear mistatement of fact.

Restate as: The US Congress is controlled by parties that are not necessarily US citizens (i.e. transnational business cartels) and therefore have abbrogated due process of governance to non US interests. There you would have an arguable case.

Answer 4

LUDICROUS.

The elected representatives of the US Congress were put in place through clearly established electoral law and process, accountable and responsible to their constituencies, both voting and funding. Foreign power suggests these men and women are from or obligated to alien territories, nations or agendas, and service the needs and requirements of others before or in place of their responsibilities to America and Americans.

The US Congress forms, debates and enacts legislation for the benefit and function of the government and the society it represents. This legislative and approval function is set forth and practiced diligently, with reference and substantiation in the Constitution, Bill of Rights and any and all standing legislation enacted since the birth of our democracy.

Claims of foreign coercion, special and conflicted interest must be measured against the process and standards required to achieve the high station of US Representative or Senator. The nomination, primary and final campaign and resulting election are all monitored and conducted under the auspices of local, state and federal electoral committees whose responsibility, under law and enforced objectively, is to ensure the conduct of an open, fair, legal and clearly decided election of such representatives, and failure to conduct such a process abrogates their responsibilities to the citizenry of the district or state within which the election is conducted, and can be grounds for prosecution and eventual incarceration should these duties be carried out in a treasonous or criminal manner.

To suggest American citizens elected to representative office are foreign agents occupying the nation's capital/capitol is not only misinformed and enciting, it is equally hilarious and baseless in its form and presentation.

Answer 5

All members of the US Congress are citizens of the USA. Therefore, they cannot constitute a foreign power. No other debate is needed. That proves the point, in my opinion.

Answer 6

as the Congress is a defined part of our government under the Constitution, your question is based on a flawed premise. you may not agree with the path Congress has taken, that does not invalidate the institution

Answer 7

There is no logic to the question so how can it be answered logically? In fact, this question is too stupid to warrant an answer! BTW, who cares about the ten points? Whaddya going to get, some kind of a prize?

Answer 8

Nope. Congress members are Americans, elected by the places they claim to represent.

Answer 9

no
that's preposterous.
