Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) raised the alarm on Monday that the $95 billion Senate bill to fund the Ukraine War contains an “impeachment time bomb” aimed at former President Donald Trump if he wins reelection in November, and called on his Republican colleagues to vote against it.
“Buried in the bill’s text is an impeachment time bomb for the next Trump presidency if he tries to stop funding the war in Ukraine. We must vote against this disastrous bill,” Vance posted on X.

Earlier Monday, Vance sent a memo to his Republican colleagues highlighting that the bill would fund Ukraine through September 30, 2025, which would be nearly a year into the possible second presidential term for Trump if he is reelected.
Vance wrote in his memo:
The bill includes $1.6 billion for foreign military financing in Ukraine, and $13.7 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative. These funds expire on September 30, 2025—nearly a year into the possible second term of President Trump.
He noted that those were the same accounts that then-President Trump was impeached for pausing in December 2019.
Then-Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman and his twin brother, then-Army Col. Eugene Vindman — who both worked in the National Security Council at the time — had claimed that Trump froze the aid to get dirt on then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine.

P
A. Clearly an unconstitutional provision. They could pass a statute that says he can’t fire Admirals and Generals. Likewise it would not be constitutional.
B. If Trump gets elected and The Democrats at any time control the House of Representative, they will Impeach Trump again for any made up reason. They cannot help themselves.
The democrat party is a vast and entrenched criminal enterprise.
Power and control is everything.
And they are willing to destroy the country to keep it.
The graft must flow.
When Trump wins for a third time, and keeps office this time, prepare for nonstop impeachment proceedings based on nothing.
This a BS game. New experts can be found and it will take time for them to come up to speed to ensure the proper review is completed before the funds can be sent out. Then we have to check it against federal fiscal responsibility acts that supersede this new act and take precedence over the spending of money, then we have international reviews to ensure spending the money is not fraudulently used and get the recipients again. Then we can use the climate change governance legislation to ensure we are not adding shortening the 12 years we have been given to the failure of the planet. Then we have to have a UN commission review and review the new EU laws to ensure we are not violating the it rules. And then We have to back to ITAR to ensure we are not breaking any federal transfer laws.
Dang there are a lot of hoops we have to abide by to just give money to another country.

THAT KIND OF PHRASING SHOULD NEVER BE IN ANY BILL
Zeepers will love it.
Biden’s bill would handover $1.6 billion tax dollars for foreign military financing in Ukraine, and $13.7 billion tax dollars for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative through Sept 30, 2025.
That’s nearly a year into the upcoming presidential term for Trump, and contains what only a venal corrupt Ukranian would think of.........an impeachment landmine for Trump if he tries to stop the funding.
Do you think they will follow the rules and regulations?
I don’t know. The SC ruled that Obama’s DACA was unconstitutional but Trump didn’t have the authority to reverse it.
So if Ukraine’s Nazis go nuts and start gassing Jews, old and infirm, or whomever, Trump could not discontinue sending them money.
Or if their troops went savage and killed, raped and burned everything in their path.
I am certainly not a Constitutional lawyer or expert, but I believe the Constitution gives certain powers to the president and we have had several cases lately in which the courts held that the Constitution can only be changed by a process, not by a simple law.In short, the clause in the proposed budget is a blatant attempt to prevent president Trump from exercising his Constitutional duty to manage foreign affairs.
Note that the Constitution specifically states that oily the president shall manage foreign affairs.
