House Republican Moves to Rein In Pelosi's Travel to Terror-Sponsoring Nations
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) will not be permitted to use State Department funds to travel to nations that are known to have sponsored terrorism if a Republican amendment to appropriations legislation passes the House on Thursday.
The amendment to the $34 billion State and Foreign Operations bill, offered by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), prohibits funds to be used to travel to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria.
King believes Pelosi violated
the Logan Act, a 1799 law signed by President John Adams that prohibits unauthorized U.S. citizens from interfering with relations between the United States and foreign governments.
Will it pass? Who knows? But I'm glad someone decided to take some action.

About damn time!
Sooo, if Pelosi DID, in fact, violate the Logan act, does anyone think she'll be prosecuted?
