Impeachment according to Joe

I pose a question to the readers: at what point is impeachment the best choice for an administration involved in high crimes?

These would be officials who are now criminals. How can we not consider impeachment for a President guilty of crimes against humanity, illegal wiretaps on Americans, and denial of due process?

The right of all Americans to impeach public officials is garnered and anchored by the U.S. Constitution. Impeachment requires an accusation from the House of Representatives and a trial and conviction by the senate.           

High crimes and misdemeanors include bribery, perjury, and treason in our alcoholic cocaine addict President’s case. One would hope that the abuses of power and misconduct in office would signal at least some type of investigation.

We as good Americans have a history of impeachments. We have impeached two presidents, one cabinet officer, one senator, and 13 federal judges.

The first official to be impeached was United States Senator William Blount in 1799. Presidents Andrew Johnson (17th), and Bill Clinton (42nd) were acquitted.

Character issues brought Clinton down; his whole political career was plagued with womanizing. However, job approval polls were through the roof.

This nitwit we have now came to the White House on a platform to restore the character of the Presidential position.

Well, needless to say, we are still waiting. I am actually embarrassed by the conduct of this current President. Not ashamed, just embarrassed. This is the greatest country in the world, and this is a free and open society that has always been ripe for an aristocratic take over.

Our fore fathers knew this could happen. They always hoped that the American people would be vigilant in protecting their own freedom, but that public seems to be missing in action.
