Remember, these have to be legitimate charges, instances where he broke US law. You can't impeach a president because you disagree with his policies. What we need in this country is a recall procedure where the people can vote "no confidence" to a sitting administration like they do in Great Britain. Then, the president doesn't need to be guilty of a crime, he just needs to not please the citizenry with his policies. It would be interesting to see what percentage of them know that impeachment itself does not get rid of the president but is just a step towards it. Given most of this thread's respondents grasp of US law (as witnessed by their inability to understand simple perjury laws) is woefully inadequate, I'd say very few. In the British parliamentary system the non confidence vote is done by the Parliament, not the people, and generally only happens when there is a minority government. Hmmmm. Thanks for that correction. I was under the assumption that it was done by plebiscite. |
