Nowhere in the constitution does it say “The president shall be impeached IF they think they have enough votes in the senate to remove him.”
Exactly.
For some bizzarre reason, some claiming to be on the right think repeating Obama’s ignoring of the Constitution is OK when ‘we’ do it. For some reason some claiming to be on the right think they know more/better/are wiser than the people that actually wrote it.
I guess the authority granted to them by the almighty Internet makes them better judges of how to interpret the plainly written words of the document and makes situational ethics OK.
People make all sorts of excuses. In the last week we all have seen plenty. But the bottom line is just what you said. So these people can either follow the Constitution or join openly with the GOP in opposing it.
