The Impeachment Inquiry has Begun
-
2019-09-25 at 8:52 PM UTCWhat's pathetic is there isn't even any procedure called a "impeachment inquiry" in the impeachment process. They just made it up right out of thin air. Total waste of time, too. There's no way in a million years the Demonrats will get 2/3rds of the vote in the Senate, and also, an impeachment requires a crime, and they just don't have one. All of this is nothing more than pointless political theater.

2019-09-25 at 9:08 PM UTCIf this doesn't go through, the Republicans will wave the failed impeachment in the 2020 election like a badge of pride
Edit: doesn't remotely guarantee a win though before Republicans start chomping out over the potential of it failing. -

2019-09-25 at 9:12 PM UTCI'm so insignificant that nothing impacts me. A literal pile of corndogs could be president and it wouldn't change anything about my life. Aside from the Trump funnies, nothing in his term has changed my life in any remotely significant way. This obviously isnt to say others that I love havent been affected one way or the other but I just think it's kinda funny.
And if they do affect me I guess I didnt notice as I am adaptable. Or stupid. Or both. -

It absolutely DOES NOT require a crime. Abuse of power works quite nicely.
Doesn’t matter if it passes the senate. He would still be considered impeached just like Bill Clinton was. -

You should really take a minute and read Article Two Section 4 of the United States Constitution, before making such silly and uninformed comments.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Two_of_the_United_States_Constitution
"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." -
2019-09-25 at 9:25 PM UTCThe term “high crimes and misdemeanors” came out of the British common law tradition: it was the sort of offense that Parliament cited in removing crown officials for centuries. Essentially, it means an abuse of power by a high-level public official. This does not necessarily have to be a violation of an ordinary criminal statute.

Keyword: conviction. Congresspersons don't have the power to convict anyone, let alone the President. -

2019-09-25 at 9:33 PM UTCPower only comes through authority, and in the Congress, authority is determined by votes. Without the votes, they don't have the authority, and without the authority, they don't have the power. The Constitution specifically states that a 2/3rds majority vote is required to remove the President, and that will never happen in a million years. Truth.

Conviction has nothing do with impeachment itself. Impeachment is like an indictment...

See what's bolded now? To be REMOVED after an impeachment. Not being impeached initially. -

That was the mistake Clinton made, going under oath. He should never have done that. Separation of powers already gave him full protection, but he threw that all away when he agreed to testify under oath. He's an idiot, and so were his "advisers". Trump isn't that stupid. -

Clinton isn't an idiot, there is obviously more to that than meets the eye. Lewinski was a Jedi, wasn't she?
