Some of my less learned posters need a primer on impeachable offences.

[Earl]

It’s not up to the Senate to now try to help the House’s flawed and illegal inquiry by entertaining witnesses or curing a defective process.

[Jarod]

So nobody with an argument as to why I am wrong? Figured.

Get an education you fools.

In Federalist 65, one of the principal architects of the Constitution Alexander Hamilton wrote that impeachable offenses are those that arise from the "misconduct of public men, or in other words from the abuse or violation of some public trust."He explains that "high crimes and misdemeanors" is a common law term used to describe offences that are "political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.

As you may or not have learned in your provencal schools, the executive is not the only constitutional officer who can be impeached. Judicial officers have more often been the subject of impeachment, using the same standard laid out by the Constitution, and in those cases less than a third have been impeached due to statutorily criminal offences. https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44260.pdf (page 9) Interestingly, Federal Judge John Pickering was impeached and convicted for, among other things,
appearing on the bench “in a state of total intoxication.” ibid. This was not a crime.

President Johnson was specifically impeached for violating the Tenure of Office Act, which was not a criminal statute and violation of it was not a criminal act. HE was also impeached for criticizing Congress and questioning its legislative authority. These are not criminal acts.

As you can see, historical precedent illustrates, that while it appears that President Trump has committed several criminal acts, impeachment does not require such.


So PLEASE stop spewing your uneducated crap. Thank you!

The only one's spewing uneducated crap in here are you leftist loons who swallow the bullshit being fed to you by leftist loons like Adam Schiff.

The CONSTITUTION; READ it:

“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”.

[Micawber]

“Anyone who wishes to be president should support an impeachment clause, because the alternative is assassination.”

-Benjamin Franklin

I don't doubt that the Unhinged Right knows nothing about impeachment, as they keep calling it a "coup" despite it being both legal and non-violent.

[Jarod]

Still not a single educated argument, nothing but name calling.

[Superfreak]

More uneducated crap... I pity you people.

Jarod, you are an idiot. You don't even comprehend that 'Obstruction of Congress' is PURE NONSENSE.

Pelosi FAILED to let the checks and balances of our government work. She instead, like you, believes that the House should be able to force the President to do whatever she wants. She is wrong. So are you. But you are too ignorant to comprehend just how pathetic that charge is.

If you would review what you are talking about... you might see I am correct.

[Getin the ring]

thoughts?

[Superfreak]

If you would review what you are talking about... you might see I am correct.

Jarud, you are an idiot. You still scared to address the actual issues?

LMAO... shocking which of the two Garud tried to respond to. dishonest Garud.

[Superfreak]

Since Garud is again fleeing the questions pertaining to the thread... maybe he will stop by and let us know how his hero Avenatti is enjoying jail

[Minister of Truth]

Now that he's a prisoner, does this mean Avenatti can be put to work manufacturing Nike merchandise?

No, he doesn't possess the skills to do anything other than lie, cheat and steal... so perhaps Nike can put him on the board?
