Impeachment Abuse

    Impeachment is a serious action that is defined in our Constitution.   This action is a means to remove someone from office after being convicted by the Senate of “Treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”  Misdemeanors does not mean the same thing as it does for minor violations as defined in out current legal system. 

        Some of our Founding Fathers were uncomfortable putting the option of impeachment in the Constitution because they were afraid politicians would misuse it for their own political agenda.  That misuse has clearly happened.  How are we going to fix this abuse?

   The current impeachment of Donald Trump is clearly unconstitutional.  Impeachment can only be used to remove someone from office.  Trump is no longer in office so impeachment is not applicable. 

        The presiding officer of the trial in the Senate must be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.   Chief Justice Roberts is not the presiding officer so the trial has no legal standing.  I don’t know if Chief Justice Roberts is refusing to be the presiding officer because he knows the impeachment is unconstitutional, or if he is just reluctant to do his job as he has done with other controversial issues in the recent past.

      The abuse of impeachment is blatant.  Democrats have been saying they were going to impeach Trump since the day he was elected.  There have never been any grounds.  They just did not like him and he was a danger to the deep state establishment. 

        The Constitution clearly states that Congress does not have the authority to charge or convict a private individual for any crime.  This responsibility is strictly with law enforcement and the courts.   Any individual charged with a crime has the right to due process and to defend themselves.  

       Democrats and establishment bureaucrats lied to the FISA Court, spied on Trump, pushed the Russia hoax, spent millions of dollars and many months on the Muller investigation with no crime, used fake whistle blowers, and impeached Trump twice when he had done absolutely nothing wrong.  Democrats in Congress told lies and the media repeated the lies for over four years.  None of the people have been held accountable for their lies.

        Trump put America first.  He said what he wanted to do and he kept his promises.  That was the problem for Democrats and the Washington establishment.

        Voting for an unconstitutional impeachment of Trump when he has done nothing wrong is clearly an abuse of power and that person should be removed from office.   That abuse of power may not be an impeachable offense, but is certainly worse than anything President Trump did.  Abusing impeachment must be stopped.
