Too many people have the wrong idea of what impeachment proceedings are. An impeachment is not just a formal vote by members of Congress to retain or discharge the President. Our Founders were smarter and more just than that. An impeachment proceeding is designed to be a long, hard process to keep politicians from just using it all the time for small disagreements. It is very much a fact-finding process. And Presidents have not been the only people impeached. Judges have been impeached as was one cabinet member. Much as the Democrats would like to portray an impeachment of a Democrat President as some sort of witch hunt, the truth of the matter is that it is an extremely fair process very similar to a grand jury proceeding and indictment proceedings. As Americans, we all live under our laws. The President is an American citizen (well, he’s supposed to be), and this puts him under our laws. If there is probable cause to see if a “high crime or misdemeanor” has been committed by the President, then an impeachment proceeding must start. Ask yourself, “What high crime or misdemeanor” did President Nixon commit? And I mean specifically. Has President Obama reached the standard set by THE DEMOCRATS back in the 1970s? If he has, then justice, and fairness, demands that impeachment proceedings be started. We are American citizens. The President is our employee. He may not like that fact, but it is a fact. He is not a king. It appears that our employee has been involved in some wrongdoing. We need to see whether he should continue to be on our payroll. If one employee does something wrong, and is not punished, then the millions of other employees who work for us may decide that they can profit from wrongdoing.
Yes. This is exactly right. Do you think the liberals would have any hesitation on this if this occurred under a Republican administration?!
