The Democrats are once again abusing their favorite constitutional clause – the Article of Impeachment – as a political weapon against President Trump. Their second round is not only as divisive and hypocritical as the first, but it is also unconstitutional.
In their final attempt to disqualify and permanently silence their political opposition, Democrats are abusing the power of impeachment to prevent a private citizen from running for public office in the future. This unprecedented and dangerous action transforms the 150-year precedent of impeachment into just another partisan political tactic.
The constitutional provision, cited in the Article of Impeachment, claims the ‘President shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for…’. The answer lies in the words themselves. President Trump no longer holds office; the Senate is presently unable to remove him.
Democrats claim this action is to punish former President Trump for alleged incitement of violence. But in a moment exposing the sheer weakness of their case, Democrats shamelessly edited the video of President Trump's remarks on January 6th by deleting "peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard."
