      Impeachment is s political process, not a legal one. Even a blow job is impeachable apparently.

        It doesn’t change your point, but he was impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice, not for a sex act.

          The charge was trumped after they pried into his personal life. Do we ask Donald whom he’s fellatioed, and investigate when we don’t like the answer?

            That was only specifically because there was a special prosecutor. Appointing one is a way of showing that you’re not stalling the process but it can lead to other less related charges.

      …first, anything is impeachable. Tying your shoe wrong is impeachable.

      Second, he’s turning his back on the people. He’s endangering people with terrible science. So yeah, when your government position is literally fucking science, then turning your back on it is a bad fucking thing.

        I didn’t say it ain’t bad. It’s what the doctor/president ordered though, is it not?

          He serves the people before the President, who he is knowingly endangering. Therefore the people have a right to impeach him. There’s a little phrase important to American democracy, “For the people, by the people.” I believe it applies here.

            The letter of the law is worth as much as the paper it’s written on. And what modern society bases it’s governance on a collection of phrases?
