President Trump, even separated from all of his nonsense and sensationalist Twitter screaming, should be impeached.
He has broken and violated the Constitution over and over again.
He has almost no qualifications to hold the title that he currently possesses.
These are thoughts Americans should have when thinking about his presidency.
The Constitution, the document most seriously considered when arguing about worthiness of laws and legaleze, strictly states that what President Trump has done is impeachable. When discussing impeachment, the phrase used in the Constitution is “treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
President Trump has directly solicited election interference from a foreign government.
He wanted the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, along with his Attorney General William Barr, to get dirt on Joe Biden. Biden is a demoratic candidate for nomination to the Presidency; thus, election interference from a foreign government.
This, unfortunately for the legitimacy of the presidency, is not the only violation Trump has committed.
Trump withheld previously approved foreign aid from Ukraine until he could talk to Zelensky and attempt to guarantee an investigation into Biden’s son, Hunter. This means that his second violation of the Constitution is one of withholding foreign aid for a diplomatic favor.
Trump insisted that because of the way we help Ukraine, mostly with the militarily assertive Russia after they annexed Crimea, that he deserved a favor against a political figure in America.
These offenses in the impeachment inquiry are not the only violations Trump has committed, either.
The foreign emoluments clause (Article I, Section 9, Paragraph 8) is the provision in the Constitution that claims federal officeholders cannot receive gifts, payments or anything of value from a foreign ruler, officer or representative.
The Trump Organization, run by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, owns multiple hotels that foreign dignitaries have stayed in since Trump has been president. In the phone call with Zelensky, specifically, there was mention of him staying at Trump Tower. This seems like a violation of the clause as Donald Trump will likely take back control of the Trump Organization once he is no longer President.
There is no point to this argument any longer. President Trump is a treasonous, profiteering and selfish individual who has no constitutional right to stay as President of the United States of America.
He must be impeached.
And oh, that’s right. These are just the offenses from the last two months.
