Since the release of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report in the spring, overall support for impeachment has fluctuated between 35 percent and 38 percent, while opposition has ranged from 46 percent to 53 percent. . . .

It generally falls to the Committee on the Judiciary to draft articles of impeachment against the President. If they choose to draft such articles and present them for a vote on the House floor, I doubt Pelosi would step in and stop them.

One of Pelosi’s major jobs is to do what is best to maintain the Democratic majority in the House. Impeaching Trump would be popular back home in Pelosi’s district, but it is very unpopular in the districts that the Democrats have to compete in to maintain their majority.

I would expect him and Kamala to be near the top of Biden’s list. 

There is no such crime as being a “traitor”. You might be thinking of treason, which is defined as either armed rebellion against the United States or giving assistance to an enemy we are at war with. 

Yes, totally a great reason why this candidate deserves anyone’s vote—because he’s not as familiar as Joe Biden, but is still very much like him.

You and the President seem to share a disdain for reading. The act defines “public official” and the President is not part of that definition. Maybe try reading before commenting.

A public ceremony is not required by the Constitution; however, the constitution does require that the President swear the oath of office. Obviously it is not something that has ever been adjudicated by the courts, but I think that there would be a case to be made that the President does not have the authority of the…

That’s fine, because as long as the electoral votes get certified by congress and the new President gets sworn in, then that person is President. Trump can refuse to leave the White House if he wants, but eventually he’s going to get hungry.

If you want Trump impeached, you’re going to have to make that case to the American people. With only about 35-45% of Americans supporting impeachment, it is unlikely that the majority of the House is going to vote yes on articles of impeachment. If you had 60% supporting impeachment and constantly calling their…

What’s the alternative? She manages to convince enough Democrats to vote for articles of impeachment, Trump is found not guilty, he says he is completely and totally exonerated, and he goes back to ruling in a corrupt manner?

A recent poll showed that only 37% of Americans support impeachment at this point. 

The constitution gives the congress the power of impeachment. It is an unconstrained political power. The constitution does not require that the congress use it nor does it really limit the circumstances it can be used it. It is very similar to the power the President has to issue pardons.

The Democrats seem to have been doing their best this last decade to ensure that they will never take back the Senate except by a fluke. The liberal wing of the party has made it very difficult for Democrats to win Senate seats in the more moderate States that the Democrats need for a majority. The way it stands now,…

But at what point does Trump do something that actually is impeachable?

Listen, Apricot, if Giuliani is acting on behalf of the President then he would generally be protected by the same executive privileges as the President. It is extremely unlikely that the courts would even allow a prosecution under the FCPA to go forward against Giuliani, and if you believe otherwise, you are in for…

Are you just Googling random stuff throwing it on the wall to see if it will stick? The FCPA might apply to Trump the businessman making a deal with a foreign government to build a golf course or something. It has no jurisdiction over Trump the President and his dealings with the Ukrainian government.

Other than appointing judges and issuing executive orders, he’s pretty much a lame duck President now, like Obama was for most of his Presidency.

It’s worked out so far for him. He’s a billionaire and President of the United States. Life’s not always equitable and fair.

If you asked me back in 2016, I would have said that the Republicans in congress would be scared of the fallout from a Trump Presidency to support impeachment by the second half of his term. It turns out that they are more scared of their primary voters who apparently love Trump.
