House Dem threatens to introduce impeachment resolution

Here’s how it would actually happen. There is also the report that Donald Trump had previously told FBI Director James Comey that he needed to end his investigation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. This is, in part, due to the latest saga when Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, who was in the middle of an FBI investigation on Russia’s influence over the 2016 U.S. president election. “It may well produce impeachment proceedings”, said Connecticut Sen. “He has committed an impeachable act and must be charged”, said Rep. Al Green of Texas.

Gonzalez, a top state budget official under Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick, said Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives for obstruction of justice. There are two big reasons for that.

But are they really so stupid that they don’t realize yet that even if Trump goes down they still aren’t going to get their President Hillary?

Let’s be clear: Trump hasn’t been accused of any specific crimes.

It showed that only 38 percent of Americans approved of Trump’s performance as president, while 57 percent were unhappy with it. Trump’s predecessor Barack Obama had an approval rating of 64 percent at this point in his presidency.

Once those Articles are put forth, the House debates their merit, and goes on to take a vote on whether the president should or should not be impeached. As of today, Republicans hold 238 seats while Democrats hold 193, and four seats are vacant.

But whatever the truth, the media frenzy may be pushing Republican lawmakers away from Trump in the lead-up to the 2018 mid-term elections.

However, it is not necessary to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the president obstructed justice. But they do require a two-thirds vote in favor of removing the president.

Absolutely. Three US presidents have faced impeachment or have been impeached in the history of the US.

President Andrew Johnson, who became president after Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, surprised many of his allies by offering amnesty to Confederate officials and by vetoing civil rights protections for former slaves.

The Clinton impeachment trial on the Senate floor in Washington D.C. on February 12, 1999.

Could violating his oath of office be enough for impeachment charges? Susan Collins of ME and Richard Shelby of Alabama, they all voted on party lines, with Republicans finding Clinton guilty of both perjury and obstruction of justice and Democrats finding him not guilty on both charges.

Has impeachment ever led to removal from office? He later was pardoned by his successor, President Gerald Ford. But still, the chances of Trump getting impeachment are still unlikely.
