REP. AL GREEN: "... Impeachment is something that the Framers of the Constitution provided for a time such as this and a president such as Trump. The president does not have to commit a crime to be impeached. In fact, the president is not likely to be indicted, which means he’s not likely to be found guilty of a crime while he’s sitting, which means that if this comes before the House, it won’t come before the House as a president who has been found guilty, but rather as a president who is alleged to have committed certain offenses that are onerous to the Constitution and that harm society. And what this president is doing is harming society.More specifically, what Mr. Cohen stated in court—he had a lawyer. He is a lawyer. He says that he and the president of the United States conspired. He didn’t use that exact word, but that’s what it means when you say the president directed you, and you followed through. So they conspired to commit an offense. The president may never be found guilty of it, but he can be impeached for it.
It’s my opinion that the Judiciary Committee is not doing its job. This whole impeachment investigation is being outsourced. The Framers of the Constitution intended for the Judiciary Committee to do this—gather information, make decisions, move forward. If the Judiciary Committee doesn’t move forward, then I think it’s incumbent upon the 435 members, each of whom have the opportunity to bring articles of impeachment, to consider doing so. I will surely consider doing so. ..."

That’s it exactly. He won an election and made a fool of the swamp. Unforgivable.
The “honorable” Al Green should read the Constitution.
There will always be another opportunity for the Left. Evil never dies, never sleeps, never quits.
We must be equally vigilant.
I rather doubt that Al Green cares all that much about the Constitution. I do, though. I’d like you to reevaluate your position and support the Constitution, too.
A misdemeanor can be any minor offense. Say buying someones silence to influence an election. What ever that is. As long as congress is behind removing Trump at any cost, there is nothing we can do in the short term.
[Hint: Constitution didn't say so.]
I hope you're not thinking that SCOTUS will step in and stop this.If you are I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like you to look at.
This.

Impeachment is a political process.
Give the Democrats the House, and they can impeach. It does not matter if their is a prosecutable crime.
Which is exactly why many (on our side) say he cannot fire Sessions. He has a legal right to fire him but it would likely backfire on him politically.
“Not really sure how following a Constitutionally defined process is “staging a coup”, but whatevs.”
A coup is impeaching a president simply because you have enough votes to do it. It must be for crimes.
“He’s right. Impeachment is what the House and Senate say it is. It is a political decision, not a jurisprudential decision.”
So, you are claiming that as long as the Senate and House have enough votes, the opposition party cannot hold the office of the President because the congress can remove the president at any time for any reason???
You are claiming once a political party controls congress they also get to also control the presidency, that the votes and will of the people mean nothing??
THIS is why we have the 2nd amendment!
United States Constitution
Article II
Section 4
The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.
I support the Constitution and if people who hate the Constitution try to use it as a weapon against us (per their prophet Alinsky) then it falls to the people to stand up against those domestic enemies.
Remember, more than half of the Democrats now openly want to replace our republic and our Constitution so they can impose their socialist nightmare on us. That’s why they hate Trump to begin with, he put an end to their socialist fantasies and they can’t handle that.
This statement is false. Impeachment is a political process. According to the Constitution, the House of Representatives is the sole determining body of what constitutes cause for impeachment. In other words, the House decides what the definition of "high crimes and misdemeanors" is, and there is no ability to appeal it.
I know it's tempting to think of a criminal act when reading "high crimes and misdemeanors", but that is an inaccurate understanding of the Constitution.
It requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate. That is a pretty high barrier.
Those people will then have to face the voters.
Well, I am confused as well.
So no crime committed is required for the impeachment process, so it doesn’t matter if any crime is committed DURING the person is in his/her office?
Have no idea!
“This statement is false. Impeachment is a political process. “
BS, you idiot.
I posted the clause of the US constitution that describes impeachment. It ain’t the controlling political party gets to determine who can be president.
“Those people will then have to face the voters. “
Voters, my ass. They’ll have to face an armed rebellion!
