American Politics III: New President, Same Old Country

[Dresderstan]

Impeachment is only for the president. A member of congress can be removed via an expulsion vote which requires a two thirds majority.

Impeachment is for any civil officer of the United States. Presidents, SCOTUS justices, cabinet members, etc. are all eligible to be impeached and have been impeached in the past. Congresspeople still exempt tho.

Bolded for what needs to change.

They have expulsion, which is effectively the same procedure. Both require a supermajority of the relevant house to remove, so.

Why should that be changed? Each of the houses of Congress can already expel their own members.

Why are Congresspeople still exempt tho? Many Democrat Congresspeople accusing Republican President Trump of bad ethics and values have said and done unethical acts as well.

Democrats, Nancy Pelosi - Tearing President Trump's Speech.
Adam Schiff, very biased, very partsian.
Maxine Watters, encouraging violence against Republican Trump supporters.
Schuck Schumer threatened US Supreme Court Justices, so on and on. I have always said the Republicans are not Political Saints, but the Democrats are not Political Saints either. I have been criticized and put down many times for saying both sides are not Political Saints, as if the Democrats are Political Saints and the Republicans aren't. In Politics everything works both ways. A least I am fair and balanced to both sides. GMS.

Because that’s what the text of Constitution says, y’know, the document Republicans worshipped religiously until it became inconvenient for them. There are other mechanisms for the removal of Congressional members.

The same applies to Democrats, they use the constitution when it fits there needs, and disregard the constitution when it fits their needs. I think it is unconstitutional to impeach any President when he or she is not conducting the office of the President. In Politics everything works both ways.

Actually Ifreann just proved impeachment of House members exist under a different name. Great Post Ifreann.

yet scholars disagree even the federalist society. A president should be able to do whatever they want on their way out of office and not be held accountable?

stop using nation names in your posts its not necessary.

Its ridiculous how you keep using the Russian Reversal argument. No democrat in congress attempted a coup to stop the peaceful transfer of power.

Trump was impeached while he was president. Your argument makes no sense.

Nice bothsame. There was one party that blatantly tried to violate both our constitution and our election last year, despite the dems themselves not exactly respecting the constitution.

Also besides Lumen I don't think any of the rest of us are democrats so the gotcha doesn't even apply. But go off I guess.

[Cannot think of a name]

I'm still sleepy which made the COVID task force announcement being sleepy great but one of them had a bad connection and she sounds like a super calm Max Headroom and it was trippy as hell.

Your point is in strong disagreement by millions of American Citizens. Republican President Trump did not attempt a coup d'état of any kind. Just as Democrat Al Gore had the right as an American citizen to challenge the 2000 Presidential election results while claiming massive Republican vote fraud in Florida, Republican President Trump has the same rights to do so as an American Citizen.

I have posted the video of Obama and Hillary objecting to the electoral college votes for Republican President George Bush in the 2000 elections, while claiming massive Republican vote fraud.

To all my fellow persons on NS, watch the video of Democrats, Obama, Hillary, Barbara Boxer and Stephany Tubbs Jones doing the same exact thing the Republicans did. Criticize them for the doing the same exact thing?

President Trump said Protest Peacefully, not Protest violently. President Trump did not say storm the Capitol Building. I know Cuban and American Republican Friends, Vietnam Combat Veterans of the Army, Navy, Air Force and US Trump Rally who heard the same speech and they did not participate in storming the Capitol Building and they did not commit any acts of violence.

I Rest My Case Again.

Because being biased isn't quite the same level as being responsible for the deaths of your own supporters and a police officer. You don't need to impeach someone for being biased - otherwise you'd have to impeach every person who ever worked in the government ever.

Verifiably incorrect.

Excellent. Hopefully it leads to criminal charges.

It's a completely moronic argument. You want your politicians to be biased. That's why you vote for them.

Also, comparing a rude gesture to attempting a coup, causing several deaths... It's not really worth engaging with that, is it?

Of course GMS thinks them comparable because GMS cannot understand that you don't have to sit there and actively plan a riot to be at the very least partially responsible if the rioters are rioting to keep you in power. Although I suppose I could give him a break because from what I've heard, history classes in America are terrible and I'd be surprised if he knows what the Wannsee Conference is.

I don't know what the Wannsee Conference is, I have never heard of it, nor do I care. Again, Republican President Trump did not plan a riot, did not plan a Coup d'état, President Trump did not say protest violently, said protest peacefully. How convenient the biased, partisan, Democrat House Managers did not say so.

He didn't need to plan it to be responsible for it. Like I said, you might be able to understand that better if you knew what the Wannsee Conference was.

[Northern Socialist Council Republics]

Those who have failed to learn the lessons of past atrocities...

Although, to be fully fair, I'm not American but I'd still not know what the Wannsee Conference was either if it wasn't for me stumbling across a movie about it by chance. It wasn't something that was covered in school.

He did not need to plan it to be responsible for it, lol I am having another lol attack. I don't know and don't care what the Wannsee Conference is.

Again, lets charge Democrat Maxine Watters for urging violence against Republicans. Lets charge Democrat Chuck Schumer for threatening US Supreme Court Justices and remove them from congress, I bet the biased, partisan Democrats wont.
