Pelosi misunderstands the meaning of Speaker of the House. She thinks it means Queen.
Thanks for your good post.
Everything already is ruined.
The word, “Election,” used to mean something, too.
Similar story: as a JAG Captain, I was the legal advisor to a 2-star. He had a disciplinary issue with a senior NCO and asked, “Jake, what do you think I should do?”. I started outlining his options, and he stopped me and said, “I know what I CAN do - I asked you what you think I SHOULD do.”
A great lesson, taught by a great leader, in private. I’ve never forgotten it.

Words don’t mean anything to the current breed of Democrats: there’s not abiding reason for any of them to worry about defining terms or “being precise”. The “gesture” , the “symbolism” of the act of impeachment takes precedence over the legalistic meaning of the word.
Article 1 Section 3 states that the Chief Justice shall preside -- but he isn't. So this isn't a real impeachment trial.
Article 1 Section 3 also contains a crucial AND:
Judgement in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States
It's a "logic" thing. The "and" is not casual. First you remove, AND then you disqualify. If you cannot do they first thing, then you cannot do the second thing. They cannot remove THEREFORE they cannot disqualify.
This is a Bill of Attainder and nothing less. The Legislature is voting to punish someone who displeases them. That's also unconstitutional.
No more. The Demonicrats provide the meaning, which the enemydia parrot. And the meaning can change, or even switch to that of the word's antonym if it benefits the leftists. For example, check the change in meaning in Merriam-Webster's definition of "sexual preference."?
Employment, medical, and other forms used to have people identify their sex (male or female). Now, in addition to male and female, the forms have more than a dozen perverted options from which a person can select even an imagined "gender identity."

Words mean what the marxist say they mean now. “Justice” “diversity” “inclusion” “unity” All meaningless psychobabble now.
Man is not a man
Woman is not a woman
Boy is not a boy
Girl is not a girl
And the worst....
An unborn baby is not a baby
If Democrats believe they actually defeated Trump then why are they still trying to defeat him?
