Blinken on Pelosi's potential visit to Taiwan - all fine and good

Blinken on Pelosi's potential visit to Taiwan - all fine and good. But note the focus on precedent, whether this is considered a state visit or a tour, and why Blinken must focus on the Pelosi/DNC theory of co equal branches of government.

Note also that the "separation of powers" does not confer the same powers to each branch.

The Speaker of the House is not a diplomat and cannot make state visits.

That is an executive branch function under the Secretary of State.

What we have here is more Pelosi declaring that the Speaker is equal to the President.

But there is a bigger crisis afoot
