Impeachment is equivalent to indictment in a criminal legal process.
The House is the prosecutor.
The House lawyer chosen will be the prosecutor in the Senate impeachment Trial, the President has his own Defense lawyers.
The senators are the Jury.
The chief justice is the presiding judge.
Due process is given, once the House votes to indict, impeach, and it goes to trial.
Just like in a criminal case... once officially charged with crimes, the defendant gets discovery, and gets to call defence witnesses and all that due process...
We ain't there yet, they are still investigating.
Yes but the simple question is:
What treasonous act has President Trump been convicted?
What bribery act has President Trump been convicted?
What other high crimes and misdemeanors acts has President Trump been convicted?
The Constitution is clear:
The requirements to impeach a president are found in Article II, Section IV of the Constitution.
"It states that 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."
A) There has been NO impeachment because
B) There has been NO conviction, because
there have been NO Treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors even made about President Trump!
HE HASN'T BEEN CONVICTED BECAUSE IN ORDER TO CONVICT HIM HE WOULD FIRST HAVE TO BE IMPEACHED. HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU HAVE TO BE TOLD?
The Constitution is clear: "shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction for Treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors"
I'm simply asking WHAT
1) TREASON?? Zero
2) Bribery??? Zero
3) Other high crimes and misdemeanors" Zero
There has been NOTHING proving President Trump has done any of the above!
So again... WHAT are the reasons for impeachment? Nothing!
