Impeachment Sham

A quick civics lesson.

The Constitution outlines the establishment of the Government of the United States.

Article 1 Section 1: “All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” This establishes the Congress as a whole as the creators of Laws for the U.S.
Section 2 Sub section 5 states: “The House of Representatives shall chuse (Choose) their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment. The house is one chamber of Congress.”

Article 1 Section 3 Subsection 1: “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, chosen by the Legislature thereof, for six Years; and each Senator shall have one Vote.” (This has been modified by Amendment 17) The Senate is the Second, co equal chamber of the Congress.

Article II Section 1,1: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”

Article III Section 1: “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”

Each of these 3 branches of Government are equal, beholding only to checks and balances of the other two.  In no measure is Congress above the Executive branch nor is the Judicial.

 The Impeachment Articles passed by the house are as follows: Article 1 passed by the House on December 18, 2019 (H. Res. 755) impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.

This was based upon the assumption that The President withheld aid to the Ukraine. The President sets all foreign relations policy for the Administration. The President is allowed to evaluate and determine if Aid is being used as it should or if Aid is even suitable for that country. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released a legal memo indicating that the Trump administration’s decision to temporarily hold military assistance to Ukraine was a “routine” practice and that the administration was reviewing whether Ukraine complied with U.S. policy.

Article 2 Passed as obstruction of Congress

As stated previously the House is only one chamber of Congress. The actions in question are the subpoenas requesting information from Aids and Legal advisors to the president. Congress has the power of subpoena but only in a legislative capacity. The Administration has taken this to the courts as an appeal, but the House sees this as obstruction.

 This Impeachment was passed purely on party lines, Article 1 229 (D) to 195 (R) and Article 2 229 (D) to 198 (R) as Speaker Pelosi said “ “Its been going on for 22 months, ok? “Two and a half years, actually.”
This Impeachment  has been a process that first began 19 Minuets after the inauguration. Numerous Representatives have been calling for Impeachment for years, this like the
“Affordable care act”, was an agenda item waiting for the right time, Unfortunately for the majority of the country they feel that it is now. The Senate will undoubtably dismiss this but it will be a stain on the history of President Trump.
