Impeaching Trump
By William L. Gensert

The Democrats control the House, and while those in the party’s “old guard” like Pelosi and Schumer counsel caution, the new leadership (Ocasio-Cortez, Omar, and Tlaib, et al.) are avid proponents of impeaching “the motherf*@ker.”  The media will love it, and so will the base.  Frankly, it’s difficult to envision another move by the Democrats that would be more popular with the media, academia, celebrities, and the rabid Democrat base.

Besides, for years Democrats have lived and breathed, “Trump colluded with the Russians and stole the 2016 Presidential Election from the sainted Hillary Clinton.”  It’s no stretch to go from there to “Trump obstructed.”  They shouldn’t just let something like that go.  They must impeach him, if only for the children…

Most people don’t understand impeachment.  Were you to ask 100 random people what a president had to do to be impeached and probably better than 90% would say, “Break the law.”  You see, most people are fair; they think you actually need to do something wrong to be punished.  To be fair, the Constitution does say “high crimes and misdemeanors.”  But impeachment is political, not criminal, and a majority in the House gets to decide the definition of “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Were you to ask 100 random people what a president had to do to be impeached and probably better than 90% would say, “Break the law.”

I don't believe this premise.  Most people think we have a European Parliamentary system where a Prime Minister can be removed by a simple majority No Confidence vote in the Legislator.  They think if the Rats can get a simple majority vote for Impeachment the President should go.  Same thing.

This is in contrast to '98, where the Pubbies got that vote in the House and the Rats were happy to have the Senate erase the Impeachment.  We were all "constitutionalists" then.
