If this stands, Dems will have effectively untethered the Impeachment Clause from the rest of the Constitution.
Concern trolls here no doubt will secretly rejoice.
It’s laughable. And would invite a court challenge were there any chance at all of this succeeding.
I always thought that was the way checks and balances worked.
Dumb me!!!
If this “Obstruction of Congress” idiocy is allowed to stand, then the bastards can impeach any President that vetoes any of their ill advised bills can be impeached.
Of course they would like that.
The current Democratic Congressmen are the most corrupt in history.
Actually it is worse than that. They are pure evil.
Impeachment is quid pro quo for Nancy Pelosi. She’s second in line for the presidency via the 25th amendment:

Actually, the Supreme Court today negated the House Impeachment charge of Obstruction of Congressional Investigation by granting judicial review of the multiple lower court cases brought against Trump about his tax returns etc. Since the Court accepted review they essentially ruled that the Executive is entitled to Court review in disputes with Congress.
Yes, and I and many more are fed up with the deep state getting their dirty way by lying, ‘cause they can’t win with truth.. Trump is doing such a good job, they can’t speak on truth..
Their time is coming. and people who get the spiel by the fake news... DO NOT vote democratic ticket!!
The Senate should quickly vote that Trump is not guilty. The Justice Dept then issues a warrant for the arrest of Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi and all other relevant parties for attempting to overthrow the US Govt. If convicted the traitors are hanged.
He said the House has made this "crime" up to charge Trump with because they have no other crime to charge him with in articles of impeachment.
"Abuse of Power" is so vague and non-specific as to not be a crime at all.
I think these to charges or articles were brought against Trump because the House democRATS have nothing else to save face with.
After all this time of secret hearings and witnesses who testify as to their opinions and feelings about Trump's but not providing any direct evidence, is going to become an epic fail in the Senate.
This is their way of saying "we got nuthin but we impeached him" to appease their radical Left base that they did what they said they were going to do.
Trump has been mominaying and the Senate has been approving his Judicial appointments therefore, loaded the courts with conservative judges and in some cases flipping them from democrat majorities to conservative.
Even the 9th Circus is feeling it. 13 of the 29 judges are republican now. If Trump can appoint 2 more that court is flipped as well.
Its getting harder for them to cherry pick a court to stop Trump. More winning for us and whining from them.
As far as I know, Obstruction of Congress has never been defined in a statutory sense. It’s as though they assembled several actions taken by the Trump administration and said, This is what “Obstruction of Congress” is. That’s a classic definition of an ex post facto law. How can a person be expected to comply with a law that has not been defined or enacted? It’s absurd.
