or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

Why not just charge him with being a domestic terrorist? ;-)

If your congress “person” is a Democrat, especially if he or she is a supposedly moderate Democrat, call or email him today! Tell them that if they vote for this bogus impeachment, you will do whatever you can to see that he loses the in the next election. For bonus points, bring up the fact that the real crooks are Obama, his administration, and Biden and his sleazy son Hunter.

I am livid! How dare these people?

The Constitution does not say the Senate has to conduct a fair trial

That is utter BS.

He's right. A Senate trial is optional. It is NOT mandatory. The Constitution mandates:

1. The Senate is the only venue allowed to try impeachments

2. That Senators swear an oath for it

3. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court presides if it is a Presidential impeachment

4. Conviction does not occur unless 2/3 of the Senators present vote for it.

It is up to the Senate to decide whether or not to have an inpeachment trial. They are free to decline to do so, and have actually done it once.

He can run again once acquitted by the Senate. Impeachment is the political equivalent of filing a criminal indictment.

This isn’t going anywhere and it’s awfully thin gruel to remove the POTUS from office - and Democrats can’t even tell us what crime Trump allegedly committed.

They have no case and they know it and yet they are going to impeach anyway.

That is Democrat abuse of power on steroids.

If they control the House there is no limit to the number of times they can impeach.

I think there’s an and/or in there someplace. Regardless, it is one of the impeachment constructs that the Dems are using.

To quote what was sent me by YO YO. A Judge would throw this out in a heartbeat. You cannot expand a passage from a specifically written law to mean something completely different.

Here is the actual statute, 18 USC Part I Chapt 73 Sec 1505:

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2011-title18/pdf/USCODE-2011-title18-partI-chap73-sec1505.pdf

§ 1505. Obstruction of proceedings before departments, agencies, and committees Whoever, with intent to avoid, evade, prevent, or obstruct compliance, in whole or in part, with any civil investigative demand duly and properly made under the Antitrust Civil Process Act, willfully withholds, misrepresents, removes from any place, conceals, covers up, destroys, mutilates, alters, or by other means falsifies any documentary material, answers to written interrogatories, or oral testimony, which is the subject of such demand; or attempts to do so or solicits another to do so; or

Whoever corruptly, or by threats or force, or by any threatening letter or communication influences, obstructs, or impedes or endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede the due and proper administration of the law under which any pending proceeding is being had before any department or agency of the United States, or the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House, or any committee of either House or any joint committee of the Congress—

Shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 5 years or, if the offense involves international or domestic terrorism (as defined in section 2331), imprisoned not more than 8 years, or both.

Back up there....You were the one that said there was no such thing as Obstruction of Congress.

You were wrong....end of story.

No one knows what part of that they will be using.

congress is the enmity that is guilty of obstruction of congress.

their obsession with impeachment keeps them from doing the work they were elected to do.
