the fact the mayor unlaterally fills out our legislative branch, the lack of checks and balances creates temptation for unethical deal making. these vacancies are not common, but they are problematic. elections would not be costly, especially given their infrequency. we must strengthen powers of san francisco elected government. this legislation will ensure voters are given the ability to choose their mayor and their supervisor. personally i don't see why there would be opposition to this proposal. is there a legitimate reason for the mayor to retain this power that does not reek of politics? elections are democratic, they give the power back to the people, back to the neighborhoods. let's let the voters elect our elected officials. thank you. >> hi, my name is sam merlot, i'm a resident and president of the harvey milk club. i will say that i think san francisco as a small relatively small and fairly affluent city state on the edge of the peninsula should be able to model these democratic processes and if this city can't, i don't know which city in america can. >> i'm bob planthold, i a

what if the president unlaterally mchled gitmo. have restrictions of bringing them in the united states and they were bipartisan in nature. if the presidente]%gz%v tries t the jail it would be a constitutional crisis between the congress' power and the president. we have the ability to deal with detaining matters and there are many restrictions on gitmo. he decided to empty the jail ?t tired of the war he would face severe consequences and i hope he will not do that. don't do that. >> he wanted to get rid of gitmo and said he would do it in 30 years and it is six years and is this a political move or a sincere effort because of getting baring dal out of afghanistan? >> the deal is dangerous for america and that is a bad deal. the president embraced a noble concept that we don't leave people behind. but greater than that in the military, we don't undercut the military and put our nation at rick. no soldier wants their country at rick when they get captured. we left loose five taliban killers, and the taliban dream team that worked w

he did it unlateral ilaterally. he didn't go to congress.you saying we don't have a refugee crisis at the border right now? you're denying reality, simon. if we had more people crossing during the bush administration, it's because we had a thriving economy. >> it's obviously a controversial topic. we'll see if congress actually takes it up. gentlemen, have to wrap it there. >>> we have a fox news alert. it's time to check in with shepard smith on the latest on the school shooting that happened in oregon this morning. >> we're getting new information in. but we're about to get a lot more. here's what we know. a gunman shot and killed a student at a high school near portland. it's a portland suburb. the subpoena is also dead now. so two dead. happened at a high school in troutdale, oregon. here's some of the video we're getting in from there. it's about 16 miles east of downtown portland, oregon. small city, about 15,000, 16,000 people. its finals week at the school. some things that we don't know, we don't know if the shooter was a student or

the president ignore the law, he brags about it and he brags about his willingness to change it unlaterally. first this administration makes the wrong decisions, then won't give the american people the straight answers. instead, it's arrogance and incompetence right down the line. i think americans deserve better. the house will continue to listen to the american people and make their priorities our priorities. our energy focus this week is a good example. as all of our solutions are, to help families who are still asking the same question -- here are the jobs? hfl >> can you explain why that is necessary and what you hope to achieve? >> the constitution makes it clear that a president's job is to faithfully execute the laws. in my view the president has not faithfully executed the laws. we have a system of government outlined in our constitution with executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. congress has its job to do and so does the president. when there's conflicts like this between the legislative branch and the administrative branch, it's, in my view, our respo
