including the power of censure, the power of the purse, power of personnel, powers of investigation and oversight, powers to legislate, and says figure out what you need to deal with the problem at hand, and if you think about impeachment that way, not as is there a high crime and misdemeanor, if so, surely we must do this. as one pow or continuum of others in restraining a president who's gone off the rails, the framework looks different. every power especially the great powers of the constitution come with a price when exercised, and the potential price of impeachment is great. in chapter three of the book and i'll sketch it out, we basically say think inning about impeachment, have you three questions to ask, what if we impeach too early. what are the risks of impeaches not at all or too late and what risks are unavoidable in any impeachment, no matter how well timed and well justified. and provide a broad framework we think can apply to any presidency to come, to emphasize the judgment calls that have to be made among great uncertainty about what the future may hold and how peop

the framers in their wisdom separated the power to declare war from the power to wage it. it is you have observed, mr. chairman, the reality is that we are at war anywhere, anytime the president says so. in failure to keep our war powers, we have effectively ceded them. to avoid a declaration of war in keeping force operations vague, we can blame the president when things go wrong but we must not shark our constitutional favorability for expediency. we must roll up our sleeves and have this debate. this is not a partisan issue, nor should it be. congress has not declared war since 2002. president obama did not seek authorization for libya, nor did president trump seek congressional authorization for military action in syria. the 2001 authorization of use for military force against al qaeda has now been used by three president to support war and countries against organizations that did not exist then. that is why i support senator paul's efforts to repeal the 2001 and 2002 authorization of military force. the world has changed since we 1942.eclared war in our adversaries of

power. -- power plant. nuclear power plants have been major large-scale radioactive organizations. after about 60 years, the united states have generated roughly 30% of the total global energy of spent nuclear fuel. there are about 80,150 metric tons at about 125 sites, nine of which are operational. i'm concerned about this because of this material which is the most hazardous material on the planet. it is a unique material that is something that was totally new and i thought about until about 19 50 when the united states government began to ponder the subject of what do we do with these wastes. in 1959, abel weldon, university professor at johns hopkins testified before congress the first time to inquire it on the subject, he said their toxicity in general is greater by far than any industrial material in any other country. he said we dispose waste of -- by actual conversion of the hazardous material. spent fuel is essentially bound up in more than 34,000 long rectangular assemblies contain

how did grant use those powers? >> that is another interesting part of the story of suspension a lot of people do not know. we think about it in the dramatic emergency power generally at odds with civil liberties. it is a very dangerous power and we should underscore that without question. there have only been a handful in american history. ones wase important done to promote the cause of civil rights. president grant went to congress and said things are out of control in the south. the clan has taken over law enforcement and all kinds of things. they are terrorizing areas of the south and preventing enforcement of the laws and they need more power. and i stand committed to promoting the reconstruction amendment and making sure the words written on paper are real. but i need emergency powers to do that. authorityave him the to suspend. the exercise did in a very he exercisedr -- it in a very long limited way in areas of south carolina to roundup people in the klan and allow people to live freely and safely and start

you have power. they want to keep their power.e person in this room could run for school board. there's nothing stopping them. it's not a full-time job. do you run for office or tell your children to run for office, do you run for the county commissiocounty commissionor the the ability to stay engaged in your community. but we tell you if you show up in mass with your family and other people that you know at a council meeting, they will be scared to death. [laughter] they want to know what's going on, are they in trouble, just your presence puts troubled if we stay home, we watch tv and we let the government have been somewhere else and that has to be over. power is not just about voting. [applause] when we all decide on a saturday that we are going to go to the movies or something, there are three carload second of going. if we can just approach this and take the whole family, right next [laughter] >> i have a question for you because i want to understand is a little bit of a challenge right now because in many ways, we've never

the power purchase agreement. this is not a financial guaranty and it is not a guarantee of the debt. moreover, the federal government may never have to make any payment under this guaranty if they continue to pay its power bills. in my opinion it would immediately restore it to the status of an acceptable power offtake or and as a result private sector lenders and investors will invest in wind and solar projects in puerto rico in parallel with the longer-term work of getting it back on its own feet. thank you. >> thank you for your time. i think the entire panel for your testimony. we now turn to members for questions. i remind them under rule 3d, time is limited to five minutes. for you, if the member only gives you ten seconds to answer, you still have ten seconds to answer. i apologize for that in advance. we will see what happens but i left my questions later on. first let me turn to mr. gomer. we last determine if he has questions. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i appreciate the witnesses being here. mr. walker

that is powerful. congress does authorize suspension a little bit later president grant to help combat the kkk in the south. the properne in procedural means underneath the constitution? how did grant use that power? that is a part of the story of suspension that i think a lot of people don't know. we think about it and we should as a dramatic image and power that is generally speaking and all its with civil liberties. it is a very dangerous power. we should underscore that without questions. one of the important suspensions and there's only been a handful in american history, was done to promote the cause of civil rights. president grant went to congress and said things are out of control in the south. the clan has taken over law enforcement and all kinds of things. they are terrorizing various areas of the south and preventing enforcement of the law. i need more power. i stand committed to promoting the reconstruction amendment and making sure the words written on the paper are real. i need emergency

framers and wisdom separated power to te claire war from the power to wage it but mr. chairman as you have observed. the reality is that we are at war anywhere and any time the president says so. we have effectively seeded them to the president. seeding war powers to the president is a way to playing safe in avoiding declaration of war and keeping forced authorizations vague and malleable, we can blame the president when things go wrong but we must not shirk our responsibility in the wake of political epxpedincy. this is not a partisan issue and nor should it be. congress hasn't declared war since world war ii. president obama did not seek for military force in libya, nor did president trump seek congressional, rather, authorization for military action in syria. the 2001 use of military force against al-qaeda has now been used by president presidents to support combat in countries with no nexus to 9/11 and organizations that didn't exist them. that's why i supported senator paul's effort to repeal the 2001 and 2002 authorizations of use of military force. the world has

all the power goes through the existed power grid. >> we haven't had any problems with the switch overean power. >> it's super easy to sign up. our book keeper signed up online, it took about 15 minutes. nothing changed but now we have cleaner energy. >> we see clean power sf as a key strategy to meet renewable energy goal, we have a goal of 50% renewable energy by 2020. currently we have enrolled about 86,000 customers across the city. about 20% of what we hope to serve in the future and in the next two years we'll offer service to all san francisco electricity customers. >> an easy way to align your environmental responsibilities and goals around climate change and it's so easy that it's hard to not want to do it and it doesn't really add anything to the bill. >> joining clean power sf is one of the easiest ways to fight climate change, receiving cleaner energy at low and stable rates, you're helping to support a not for profit that helps influence the energy grid and produce more production. >> i would encourage any business to seriously convert to the clean sf service. it's good fo

, the power granted to the congress, but also that the president has the power to ignore laws just by virtue of feeling that they are unconstitutional even if a court says they're constitutional. that is not the system of checks and balances set up in our constitution. so that is a big concern and it leads us to the conclusion that when a president is under investigation for the possibility of a serious crime of collaborating with the enemy, that president should not have this chamber considering -- considering, holding hearings, proceeding to take a debate and a vote on that nominee. let that cloud be cleared first. there's more to be concerned about. there's a lot to be concerned about in health care. in garza v. hardgen, a woman's constitutional right to control her own reproductive health decisions. and then there's priests for life v. u.s. department of health and human services, where he wrote a dissenting opinion which he stated that the affordable care act's contraceptive coverage requirement violates religious nonprofits, religious freedom. the nonprofit said that even submit

if you want power, you have to decide that you're going to exercise power, and to exercise power requiresan in to every moment when you can acquire power. and that means that you're not just voting in the midterm elections this year because trump is a nightmare. you're not just voting in the presidential election because you want to influence who the president is and because the president picks the supreme court and so forth. you're voting in every election. you're voting in the school board election. you're voting for the town council, you're voting for the water commission, you're voting in the sheriff election, you're voting in the city council election. you're voting in every election. and you're looking at all of the candidates and you're educating yourself about them. i think that's what we have to do differently. we go in the voting booth, all of us have done it, right, you vote for the president or you vote for the governor, you vote for the mayor, maybe you know somebody on the city council you vote for, then it says pick three judges. you don't know who those judges are, right?

. >> just how powerful is he? >> putin has an untram melled a authority. >> i have not seen the checks on the power. >> so powerful that he apparently tried to the rig the american election. >> of course putin wanted hillary clinton to lose. he despised hille lary clinton >> who do you want vladimir putin or a crook? >> and so americans are asking, what did putin get and what more does he want? is he really the most powerful man in the world? >> december 5th, 1989. it was a cold night in dresden, east germany, and it would change the course of vladimir putin's life. the berlin wall had just fallen. they were lash iing out against communist rule. that night in dresden they found a target, the local kgb headquarters. the mob was outside and peering through the curtaining was a young kgb lieutenant colonel named vladimir putin. >> he was terrified that they were going to storm the building. >> putin was a junior officer, but the boss was away. he was in charge. >> the berlin wall had come down. police weren't going t

after his crackdown on dissent the country's strongman ruler is expected to extend his long grip on power opposition groups say the vote is illegitimate will go to come boetius capital for the latest also coming up. california bad old days of enormous wildfires fueled by strong winds and high temperatures they've killed at least five people and sent thousands fleeing for their lives. that's not your usual summer camp you had to rush out and meet young people on their summer break where they learned to fire guns and battle terrorists. and welcome to the program polls have now closed in a general election in cambodia and prime minister who in san appears sat for a sweeping and controversial victory despite more than a dozen parties listed on the ballot the main and only credible opposition has been outlawed and silenced critics are calling the vote a sham and say the prime minister is moving towards tightening his grip on more than three decades in power. ballots polling stations fingers stained with ink across cambodia voters went to the polls but with only one viable party in the running.

why white power? some people use the phrase white nationalist to talk about this movement and this makes many people think first about the category of nationalists. most people think about the category of the nation. my book is not about people that are seeking to defend the nation. my book is about people who envision a transnational white quality achieved through file the race war, and en route to this they have illegal actions. in other words, nationalism should not be confused with sort of like overzealous patriotism. that's not what this is about. this this is a revolutionary movement. these activist carried out activities using strategies designed to hide what they were doing and the movement included groups ranging from klansmen to neo-nazis, from white separatist this skinheads, from radical militiamen to white separatists. they call themselves and i refer to them as the white power movement. now, the gestapo context that incubate dismembered shares a lot in, with our present movement. white p

legislation has opposition groups worried they believe the president had won will use his sweeping new powers to consolidate the antiterrorism introduced jury in the state of emergency and look at the latest from istanbul. also on the program as president trump struggles to contain a political storm in washington we get the view from tennessee at the rodeo they are giving him an easy ride. and thailand's rescued cave points are now back with their families some of them say they want to become navy seals or professional footballers when they grow up. hello and welcome my name is christopher spring eight thanks for joining us turkey has lifted its state of emergency which was introduced two years ago after a failed coup that left hundreds of people dead turkish president richard typepad one used a measure to rule by decree and crackdown on the opposition tens of thousands were purged from the military and from the civil service and hundreds of politicians and journalists were arrested. although the government has now opted not to extend that emergency rule it's proposing a stringent anti terror

of fuel available to us from this power source. it's a good power source. but as far as things like the shema, the, i'll never understand why the japanese backupgenerator for that system in the basement . they knew they had tsunamis from time to time. our reactors as i understand it artistically our generators are typicallyon the third floor . they don't get. but those were early design reactors, they were actually american designs although where the generators was a japanese decision but despite what you may haveheard , there were no deaths of evil to radiation off the campus as it were. outside the room themselves. >> there were several workers injured in the explosions and so forth and i think one or two died. no course we are going to get , you think about the kind of explosions and damage that occur with oil refinery explosions and other sources of energy also. now, there's no energy at one percent say, percent sure. that's what i say i think were going to need it all. judiciously parted out according to what the situation is. offshore wind is a reliab

to cling to power so he doesn't hesitate to suppress. this is cambodia six election since one thousand nine hundred three after decades of war and who has made it very clear that he wants a big turnout. as polls close in cambodia consensus seems assured of his seventh straight term as prime minister further securing his name in the history books. our correspondent and heartache is in cambodia and capital phnom penh for more on the story and the poles have no clothes in cambodia selection and hundreds and looks sash to win yet another term so what does this mean for cambodia. means that the ruling party c.p.p. and the prime minister. can further tighten their already pretty tight grip on power that he can continue to work on his success and he's already started doing that building up his sons or one of his sons as as his successor and it also means that the hopes that many in the international community had for cambodia after that clear regime back in the seventy's that the country was going to slowly but eventually transition to a democr

a lot of it was about the separation of powers. we have a long way to go but we are acknowledging it and going down that path. i hired new legislative directors in the legislative counsel's office to make sure we wrote new statues. i just finished negotiating a reform to make sure future administrations don't have all this discretion to regulate the economy. so we are more attuned to this than we were before, and these judicial fights put us in that area. those judicial fights, he will pass 51, 52, 53 votes. my guess is one red state democrat goes, maybe three follow. i think he's going to get in. but 20 years ago, he probably would have gotten 65, 70 votes. so yes, we are back to tribalism , the progressives are more progressive and the conservatives are what we just described. we are going to have this, but what the lesson coming out of versus judicial activism constructionism and at least we , are arguing about the constitution. 10 years ago we didn't have those arguments but we do now. jonah: one last question, and have time fo

it's a good power source. i will never understand why the japanese but the backup generators for that system in the basement. then they had tsunamis from time to time, our reactors are typically or generators are typically on the third floor. so they do not get flooded out if there's a flood. but those were early design reactors, they were american design so where they put the generators was a japanese decision. despite what you may have heard, there were no deaths attributable to radiation off the campus as it were. outside the perimeter of the plant themselves. in fact, there were no deaths at all due to radiation. several workers were injured in the explosions and so forth. so, if that's the worst that we can get in you think about the kind of explosions and damage that occur in oil refinery explosions and other sources of energy, it's 100% safe, that is where he say i think we're going to need it all, judiciously parted out according to what the situation is. and if offshore wind is a reliable source, grea

there is a lot of power in that. this is step one. it does the baseline assessment. step two once we have a sense from the agencies where we are at, use that to set goals. we will hopefully come back to you looking for an ordinary man's to put in timelines and goals to solidify this. we are following the foot stems of other jurisdictions. i think san francisco can go above and beyond them to be a leader as we are. i hope you support it. thank you for your support. i look forward to moving forward with your support. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. i am the policy director farm forward. i am speaking on behalf of farm forward and society for prevention of cruelty to animals. this is an important first step towards the broader adoption of the policy. we appreciate form for -- farm forward. this addresses one of the most critical food policy issues the environmental and social empackets of factor refarming. for the first time this is a large scale level to address the impacts of factory and industrial farming. thithis is a way to improve

power you know underpinning the system of water natural rules was the fact that the dominant power in the world in its headlight and self-interest was underpinning them and obviously if that dominant power that decides otherwise then everything starts to fall apart now what's quite striking is that you know the united states is a is a declining one it's threatened by the rise of china and indeed other emerging powers and normally what happens in situations like that is that the declining going on tries to preserve the international system it created in order to preserve its status and preserve its power and prosperity and instead of that you see the rising power which is china's actually working on most of the system that exists and the declining on the united states saying actually want to blow it up now trump says well that's because the old system was rigged against us and we're going to create a new one by bilaterally acting tough and excluding better concessions out of others the reality is that actually it's he's blowing up american prosperity and blowing up american power and e

of the different kinds of power in favor of a uniform state power seeing the entire state from a single center. the protesters have one powerful ally on their side though the european commission in brussels they've started legal proceedings which could end with poland being in the dock in the european court of justice but other members of their legal establishment dismissed that move as politically motivated say the fundamental reforms needed after the fall of communism are long overdue then put off that process and this is meant of many people not just politicians and judges but most importantly citizens as not been completed. as the protests continued into the night outside the supreme court time and again the protesters chanted the word constitution what is striking about this demonstration on the steps of the report is will majority status from the of the generation of. the one who remember the style of human rights and freedoms and democracy under the congress regime the government hoped to ride to storm the protests but the opposition say this is a fight they must win for the sake

all around us, we are writing this book and inspired of stories without this traditional power, old power. we broke through using these techniques and built extraordinary businesses from scratch. >> how do you breakthrough? i have a company in a small town somewhere. i'm not connected to anyone in power. how do i breakthrough the noise? >> another question is what are you asking your community to do? typically, we ask people to consume things. the companies who are getting ahead, working out, you want to ask them to do more than buy. how do you invite people to share your product and feel like they are owners of your product. how do they add energy to your cause? those are the key skills of our time. >> how do you? >> there's an organization that is a car company that typically things are big. what they have done is open up their process to invite their crowd to help design the cars themselves. they have a community of 50,000 people out there every day working on how to design the cars, what the engine should look like and the wheels. by the time they are ready for sale, they have a huge

we transmit it on big power lines we operate connected to big power lines operated by the california independent system operator to get the electricity to san francisco. pg&e provides distribution services to move power within san francisco, and then we deliver it to our customers. we meter and bill our customers. we pay pg&e about $10 million each year for this wholesale distribution service. containing that cost and ensuring affordable access to pg&e's grid is a key strategy of our business plan. pg&e controls the grid. there have been disagreements since san francisco began providing electric service in 1918. it's been challenging for the city. here is the condensed summary of the efforts the city has undertaken to overcome those difficulties in accessing distribution service. with the expiration in 2015 of the interconnection agreement. san francisco now has two ways to get power to our customers under federal law and the associated pg&e tariff. first, through a grandfathering treatment of the customers we serve. second, through ownership or control of facilities. >> and that's p

and yet his power actually grew during those years - and the power of his jailers diminished, because he knew that if you stick to what's true, if you know what's in your heart, and you're willing to sacrifice for it, even in the face of overwhelming odds, that it might not happen tomorrow, it might not happen in the next week, it might not even happen in your lifetime. things may go backwards for a while, but ultimately, right makes might, not the other way around. ultimately, the better story can win out and as strong as madiba's spirit may have been, he would not have sustained that hope had he been alone in the struggle. part of what buoyed him up was that he knew that each year, the ranks of freedom fighters were replenishing, young men and women, here in south africa, in the anc and beyond; black and indian and white, from across the countryside, across the continent, around the world, who , in those most difficult days, would keep working on behalf of his vision. and that's what we need right now. we don't just need one leader, we don't just need one inspiration, what we badly
