Impeachment is Dead on Arrival
2 min read45 Republican senators voted that impeaching a private citizen is unconstitutional. This indicates that even if the Senate finds Donald Trump “guilty” of anything, there are 45 automatic no votes – more than enough to acquit and end the nonsense. The phony impeachment is dead.
Senator Rand Paul offered a point of order that the impeachment of Donald Trump is unconstitutional based solely on the fact that he is now a private citizen, which was voted down 55-45.
RINOs Romney, Collins, Murkowski, Sasse, and Toomey cast their votes in favor of constitutionality. It is clear from Article II, section 4 of the U.S. Constitution that impeachment is for removal of officeholders:
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.
Article II, section 4.
Five “Republicans” calling the impeachment of a non-office holder “constitutional” shows just how much of a joke the rule of law has become in the D.C. swamp. No doubt Democrats are loving the wedge that yet another dead impeachment is driving into the Republican caucus, over what was clearly Trump’s simple exercise of free speech. This vote exposes what an utter waste of time, money, and attention congressional Democrats are willing to engage in for revenge politics.
