“the Constitution reserves to Congress the right to over-ride such a veto and to remove the President”
Impeachment is subject to Amendment VIII with respect to due process.
The Supreme Court could have the final say.
Im kind of amused by the call-someone-racist with no facts to support approach. I wonder if anyone beyond the echo chamber of liberals believes it.
That’s the best they have? President Trump, unlike every democrat to occupy our White House is not a racist. Pathetic. These losers are still throwing their perpetual temper tantrum.
My mother used to tell me that you can't rationalize with people who are irrational.
Does that answer your question? :-)
The Congress of the United States has brought such upon itself.
You beat me to it. I was thinking, they've done a good enough job of that on their own.
And they have abandoned all pretense of objectivity. The media have joined the Democrats in advocating for impeachment.
Amendment VIII has nothing to do with due process; surely you’re not saying that impeachment is cruel or unusual beyond the unusualness of the crime?
As for due process, impeachment IS the Constitutionally prescribed due process... although certainly if the President challenged the impeachment on any grounds, the Supreme Court would be obliged to consider those grounds. But I expect on consideration, it would defer to the Congress to make any legal decision beyond deferring to Congress.
You are right. They also know some will vote strictly because of Trump fatigue
And I don't see how my waking up in the morning makes me a racist.
I guess its complicated.
Having this thread in Smoky Backroom is a great way to get the truth out, too. /s
What a giant load of BS.
No one can point to a single thing Trump has said that is actually racist.
The "Trump is a racist" meme is nothing but pure propaganda.
Wasn’t half of Congress newly-former Confederate states at that point? I’d always figured Johnson’s impeachment was more about that than anything else.
The media and the Democrats are sameo, sameo.
They are completely insane.
What the fok ever losers
“I still dont understand how AOC (Ruerto Rican) and Rashida Tlaib (Palestinean) are considered ‘Persons of Color?’”
Many Puerto Ricans are a mixture of Spanish and “black” ancestry.
“Persons of Color” commonly means having an ancestor who was not a Caucasian. However, many Asians don’t want to get lumped in with those two females.
I’m a mixture of pink and tan myself.
You have a point.
This article is what is known as “deranged lunacy” in the rational world.
Andrew Johnson escaped conviction in the Senate by one vote, that of Kansan Edmund G. Ross.
Ross’s career was destroyed by the same Radical Republicans who had brought the impeachment against Johnson.
My mother used to tell me that you can’t rationalize with people who are irrational.
You can’t reason someone out of something they weren’t reasoned into.
