Q: nonetheless entitled to claim derivative asylum relief based on the possibility that their citizen child would be subjected to FGM. In so assuming, the majority’s remand is illusory. Although the practice of FGM is considered persecution under our law, there is no threat here since a United States citizen child cannot be deported to the country of her parents’ birth, and the parents cannot claim an unrecognized form of derivative relief when they themselves cannot establish entitlement to asylum. By usurping the prerogative of Congress, which alone has the power to create a new basis for cancellation of removal, the majority violates the separation of powers doctrine and creates an unnecessary conflict with the Seventh Circuit. See Oforji v. Ashcroft, 354 F.3d 609, 618 (7th Cir.2003) (<HOLDING>). Like the petitioner in Oforji, Mr. and Mrs.

I can’t recollect, but manure could have gone into the pit.[A]gain, having a hard time recollecting this. I was thinking that both [pits] were able to be — would have been able to be used.” Mr. Parsons was never specifically asked, nor did he specifically testify as to the Bolivar Ready Mix lawsuit in his deposition testimony. It is within the sound discretion of the trial court to determine whether perjury occurred and whether an improper verdict resulted therefrom. Hoodoo of Poplar Bluff v. Bosoluke, 9 S.W.3d 701, 704 (Mo.App.1999). See also Clark v. McKeone, 234 S.W.2d 574, 576 (Mo.1950) (<HOLDING>). It is only in cases where the evidence
