picking the date of the impeachment of Donald T

quote:

---

An impeachable offense is whatever a majority of the House of Representatives considers [it] to be at a given moment in history; conviction results from whatever offense or offenses two-thirds of the other body considers to be sufficiently serious to require removal of the accused from office.”

– then-House Minority Leader Gerald R. Ford’s remarks in the House Congressional Record, April 15, 1970



Ford’s prescient words from 47 years ago underscore how politics drives the impeachment process through a loose constitutional framework that states:

“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.” (U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 4)

Precisely because the Founding Fathers’ grounds for impeachment are so pliable, and the nation is so polarized, not a day passes in the media universe without one hearing or reading the word “impeachment” applied to President Trump after only seven weeks in office.

That explains why the phrase “Trump Impeachment” yields 15,700,000 hits on Google.

in effect, the 2018 election will be a referendum on Trump.

he lied about the wall and took money from half a dozen national security agencies to help pay for it and to punish IC for not being all in, vote D

a particular bill of impeachment makes sense to you based on the statements of its author on TV and TD, but its stuck in committee, vote D

my personal favorite, the new health care bill is passed and you find it worse than Obama in cost or effectiveness in your life or the lives of family members.
