Here it is: "The President has NO responsibility to tell The People the Tr [View All]

Heard from a RW caller to Nancy Skinner's show today (Ski's on holiday)

The punk actually said "The president is under NO obligation to tell the American People the Truth. Where Bill Clinton failed was that he was under oath when he lied..."

There you have it, the RNC's new Battle Cry..."He doesn't HAVE to tell you the Truth..."

Now...Oh, to have the input of a "Contstitutional Scholar" like I used to cross words with over on MHO back in the day....
My question is....Since the President has a Constitutional DUTY to report the state of the union to Congress, and since he swore an OATH to "Uphold, defend, etc." the Constitution, would he NOT be bound, by virtue of that oath, to be truthful in all his reportings and other dealings with the Congress?

Never mind ReTHUG mouth's claim that Chimpy is under no promise not to lie to US, the SOTUA is given to CONGRESS...

Is the President under any obligation or rsponsibility to tell CONGRESS the Truth????

that's how I'm approaching it...
