Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Russia has also said that they want veto power over those security guarantees. Why does Vance keep lying about Russia’s position in every point? I listen to him and I listen to the Russians and they are saying opposite things.
