According to the American Constitution, a political leader at the federal level may be forced out of office via impeachment if he or she commits “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors”.
Like many of you, I did not vote for a certain person in the 2016 Presidential Election and I have yet to agree or approve of the policies he has put into place. I also believe that the evidence that so far has been presented is legitimate and solid.
As much as I would love to see him out of office, I believe that for the short-term, we should not be discussing impeachment. My reasoning is the following:
- Unlike a certain President who shoots his social media mouth off at every turn, Robert Mueller and his team are only showing their hands when they have concrete evidence. Without concrete evidence, it proves that the Russia Investigation is indeed a witch hunt and a waste of tax dollars. This of course, feeds into the idea that he is innocent and being persecuted for no reason.
- If he is impeached, then Mike Pence becomes President. From my perspective, Mike Pence would be a political nightmare.
- Unless it is proved that this person has committed a crime, starting impeachment proceeding over political differences starts a dangerous precedent that would destabilize this country in ways that I dare not even consider.
- Impeachment subverts the will of the people, but again, that depends on how solid the proof is that a crime was committed.
Only time will tell if and/or when a certain person is removed from the highest political office in the land. I only know that at this point in time, I believe that we should not be talking about impeachment until it proved without a shadow of a doubt that an impeachment offense was committed.
