Remember, these have to be legitimate charges, instances where he broke US law. That is not what the US Constitution says. It says: 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.” "high crimes and misdemeanors" means whatever a majority of the House of Representatives says it means (See: impeachment of Bill Clinton). I'm not going to get sucked-in to this argument again, but Clinton was impeached because he committed perjury before a grand jury - a felony in every court in the country. The part that shows that this system works is that the impeachment failed because of the extenuating circumstances. |
