Which former President should be impeached?

[Votto]

With the advent of the democrats impeaching a President that has already left, the question begs, who else should be impeached?

Nixon obviously should have been, so perhaps they could finish the job this time. We can all agree on this.

Naturally there is no Constitutional basis for impeaching a President that has ever left, and there will be nothing done to democrats for violating the Constitution as always, but I think that is only common sense.

Millard Fillmore.

Too silly of a name.

Millard Fillmore.

Agreed, plus he was not a democrat, thus making him an insurrectionist traitor.

He was also part of the Whig Party, another silly word.

Using the US senate to impeach a private citizen is just starting, there is no one to preside yet, we know it will fail, so it is a gigantic waste of precious time.

Then again, I hope the impeachment trial for Trump takes the entire two year term of Joe Xiden so the democrats can't do too much damage.

Millard Fillmore.

President Obama wore a tan suit, so he's definitely a candidate for impeachment.

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Judgment in Cases of Impeachments shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust, or Profit under the United States, but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment, and Punishmnet, according to Law.
So, what is their goal here? Have they bothered to read this text?

Perhaps the democrats can impeach every US citizen that is not their offspring.

That way no one else can ever be elected for anything.

They have the power, now they just need to get it done

That way they don't have to resort to having their children work bogus jobs overseas to become millionaires like Hunter.

Nope, that makes you a racist.

Wrong party. You can't impeach a democrat. They are the source of all truth and morality after all.

Which FORMER President should be Impeached?

NONE OF THEM!

If politicians failed to do what was right when they had the opportunity to do so then so be it.

They are history...its over. To attempt to Impeach a FORMER President is a useless partisan attempt to seek some type of revenge.

The 2nd attempted Impeachmet of President Trump, however is an ADMITTED attempt to eliminate Trump as a political threat in 2024 and beyond.

It will only succeed in dividing the country further.

Lincoln. Def Lincoln.

That is the point. Dems take the voting power away from the voters.

Wilson and FDR

 

[TheParser]

If past POTUS could be impeached, then at the very least George Walker Bush should be.

His "mistake" invading Iraq was surely one of the biggest blunders in American history.

Even the dictator of Iraq did not believe that Mr. Bush would actually make such a stupid move.

The war killed over 100,000 innocent Iraqis, took the lives (or limbs) of thousands of American soldiers, let Iran become the boss of the Middle East, and sent millions of refugees streaming into Europe (with devastating consequences).

If any President should have resigned in contrition, it was he.

Wilson and FDR

I have to say, even though Wilson was largely the catalyst for the Progressive era, a man who despised the Constitution that placed constraints on him, he is so hated by most because he was such a vile racist human being you might succeed at this.

His accomplishments are

1. Blaming the sinking of the Lusitania by the German U boats as an act of war, thus gaining support to go to war. However, years later dives showed it was full of war material, making it a valid war time target.

2. The Treaty of Versailles, which most historians point to as the cause of the rise of Hitler.

3. The centralization of the US federal government, with the creation of the Federal Income tax and creation of the Fed.

Looking at the memorial in DC, they are all war time Presidents EXCEPT................Jefferson and Wilson

Jefferson because he was such a great President who did not go to war and Wilson the only war time President not to get a massive memorial because he was such a failed puke.

Trump was impeached by the house before he left office.

No constitutional reason why the Senate can't try him after his term in office. Puts the onus on the neo-republicans' (should I stay or should I go?)

Plenty of Republicans were okay with the idea of impeaching Obama after he left office.
