the house passed two articles of impeachment regardless of what we think about it. He calls himself impeached. He’s impeached.
I am addresses one issue. My comments about the so-called hearings are all over the FR.
For people here to say he is not impeached makes us look like kooks.
*zot*
:)
Neither article contained any mention of a crime or misdemeanor. The Constitution specifies that impeachment can only take place for high crimes and misdemeanors.
The “articles” are political statements. If those can be passed off as “impeachment” then the entire meaning of impeachment has been changed. Rather than being a tool to remove someone who is dangerously violating his oath of office, it becomes merely a method to express a political opinion.
I think the Supremes could shut this down on Constitutional grounds, by ruling that by definition, an impeachment must be for a crime (as the Constitution specifies).
the supremes have no role here. The Chief will of the trial starts.
“Kooks”
LOL!
The Constitution makes no distinction between “impeachment” and the “delivery of impeachment” so neither will I.
They are one.
A president is impeached when the House tells the Senate he is. A bill is paid when the check is delivered, not when it’s written.
You kooks feel free to put whatever you like in the Constitution.
after what you just did, there’s no more room in the constitution.
One “can’t always get what” he wants out of the opnstitution, but we “get what we need”.
Yeah, hate to see Pelosi abusing it and the media loving her for it. But that’s nothing new.
But I'm thinking you left Free republic because other reasons
Yeah I’m a real idiot. Every now and then the owner purges. Be careful yourself. Another one is due
Can we agree the dems are playing games that is unconstitutional?
why do you ask such obvious questions. I came to these threads to stop the ridiculous notion that he hasn’t been impeached. That’s my only issue here.
I DON’T give a damn what you think of my motives. Go play games with someone else.
It was a simple question you could NOT answer. Which is an answer
