Unfortunately No One Cares

Finally the day has arrived, the one the democrats and the left have been hoping for since the day Trump won the election back in 2016. Impeachment is the process by which a sitting president can be removed from office in the event of breaking the law and having committed serious abuses of their office like Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes.

The the big fundamental problem with this impeachment is that he is not even being charged with any crime, he is being charged with obstructed Congress during the impeachment investigation, probably because he was tweeting mean thing at the democrat. As well as abuse of power, which was pressuring Ukraine to open an investigation into the president's political rival and former vice president, Joe Biden. The thing is this impeachment from a legal stand point is fully unconstitutional and neither charges are in any way defined as Treason, Bribery or even a crime.

This entire spectacle is nothing more than a publicity stunt that has failed miserably and spectacularly, and just like the 2016 elections there will be people crying in the streets. That's because the impeachment vote is nothing more than an indictment, he is accused of these things and are sent to the Senate, where senators will consider evidence, hear witnesses and vote to acquit or convict the president in a Senate trial. The a two-thirds majority vote is required in the 100-member Senate to convict and remove a president from office. A conviction appears unlikely in the case of Trump, because the republican have the majority in the Senate and unanimously consider the entire impeachment charges unconstitutional. So we are back at square one, and the democrats knew this going in, so the only logical conclusion we can assume, is that this was done for nothing more than publicity to make orange man look bad and score votes. That unfortunately back fired, because when you keep crying wolf for three years straight, eventually people start getting sick of it. So much so that his approval rating improved during the impeachment inquiry.


"Impeachment must not be a raw exercise of political power in which the House impeaches whoever it wishes for any reason it deems sufficient. Indeed, it is the solemn duty of all of the members of the House in any impeachment case to exercise their judgment faithfully within the confines established by our Constitution." - Charles T. Canady
