For the purpose of impeachment and removal from office, the Constitution explicitly says that the president must be guilty of an actual crime. A vague charge like "abuse of power" doesn't cut it.

What's even more amazing is that they MOCK the very members of their own party who are warning them of the error of their ways!
Some of their more experienced operators are yelling "there's a cliff up ahead" and they yell back "shut up, you old fool --- full speed ahead!!!"The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by JimLamebrain View PostTrumps crimes are detailed under the heading "abuse of power." But again, an actual codified crime isn't necessary only a breach of the public trust is necessary and that is left to Congress to decide.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by JimL View PostNot only did the unprincipled republican majority determine that Trump was not guilty, they determined as well that he can do whatever he wants and withhold the evidence. So much for 3 equal branches and oversight of a tyranical executive. You wanted a dictator, and you are now well on your way to getting one."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe.

The president is a wannabe dictator, he is obliged to turn over evidence sought by the congress. His refusal to do so, and his abuse of the courts, was a legal tactic which he has been using his entire life. He exposed a weakness in the Constitutions Impeachment clause like any good dictator would do, and now congress should close that loophole to prevent such abuse in the future.
