I think there is plenty of reasoning for impeachment, though I question whether Democrats can make their case to the American people and on which case they want to use.

What are the high crimes and misdemeanors for which he is accused?

I'm not saying there aren't any but besides being a demented, narcissistic idiot who loves testing the Constitutional limits of the Executive branch, what specifically are his crimes over the past 15 months?

Using the powers of his office to investigate his political enemies, mobilizing the military into various states, impinging free speech rights, falling to release all of the Epstein files as required by law, stealing money from the American people, unlawful war with Iran...

There would have to be specific laws broken or perjury committed. Maybe there are laws against bringing frivolous indictments on political enemies? I am genuinely asking the question because of all that you mentioned that might be the strongest "wrongdoing".

The legal framework of war powers is well defined. Did Congress curtail his war powers and yet he defied them?

The problem with impeachment is it looks silly, partisan and frivolous unless there are serious, provable crimes. It is hard enough to get a conviction when there has been provable wrongdoing.

Impeachment and removal are political acts. All we need is enough votes in the House and Senate and Trump is history.

Surely we can make up something to get him impeached for. We just need to put some real thought into it. It cant be anything mentioned above, most of that has already been proven wrong. we cant just make up shit like the Russian collusion. That could have got someone in trouble and still could. Lets just start feeding more bullshit stories to the media. just completely flood the news with lies about Trump. We are already believing most of that BS regardless how many times the stories have been discredited, no one seems to care when they are proving to be a lie and everyone climbs on board for a while till proven wrong, and by then the harm has already been done in the average persons eyes . Then we just go on to the next lie before they get time to discredit the last one. What do you think. Just overwhelm the media with BS stories about Trump and no one will realize how much good the guy has actually done. We could make up statistics about how many immigrants they have removed from the US. Over a million respectable law bidding citizens. Which is a completely ficticious number that would be a completely impossible task giving the number of agents doing the deporting. it is more like 25,000. I feel better now. why didnt we think of this before. We are democrats, Lying is what we do and who we are.

It’s kind of worrying that you had to list those obvious high crimes and misdemeanors to someone on a politics board…

That lack of awareness is how republicans keep winning elections.

Low information voters are the worst…



We. Told. Them. So.

MANY Americans OBVIOUSLY do NOT know how ANYTHING works in government or politics…

Very disheartening…

Nope:

Article II
Section 4
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.

Impeachment should never be a political act. It should follow the Constitution.
