> The Constitution does not permit impeachment because the House finds the president loud... <

Actually, it does. A “high crime” was meant to be a crime committed by a high official. And the Constitution leaves it completely up to the House to define that crime. Heck, Benjamin Franklin once remarked that a President could be impeached just for being rude.

Of course, just because you can impeach doesn’t mean that you must impeach. The Founders assumed that there would be first be crime, and then an impeachment. But today’s Democrats first decided to impeach, and then look for a crime.

Let's be real....The constitution provides a method for trying and removing a President. It was NOT meant to be a trivial and/or biased method.

In fact, it has already proved to be biased....hence the vote along party lines makes the entire fiasco unconstitutional on its face.

Remember the bias in Mueller's selection of attorneys to assist him.
