Hayden: Impeaching Trump would be viewed as soft coup

[Toro]

You don’t understand what a coup is

Following the Constitution is not a coup
Holding elected officials accountable for their actions is part of a Democracy

Odious cares more about skin color than the Constitution.

 

[Frankeneinstein]

Our courts will have oversight on the investigation and any prosecution

more semantics

Our Constitution has provisions for dealing with corrupt politicians

non-sequitur

The process is proceeding as per the Constitution

which part? btw, referring to to the investigation is as "the process" is semantics

 

[DGS49]

It is a meaningless quotation. "Impeachment" does nothing; the removal comes after a trial in the Senate.

The Republicans have NO CHANCE of losing the Senate this Fall.

But it is noteworthy that the Leftist Media has FIRED UP the political Right to an extent never seen before in this country. If Trump is removed from office nobody has any idea what will happen, but if anyone other than Pence takes over, there will be an armed revolution. Fact, not opinion.

 

[caddo kid]

The Constitution is being followed to the letter
The investigation is cutting no corners and is completely lawful

Both technicalities and the type of semantics used when an end run around the constitution is the problem...in fact an end run is designed to allow the claim you made/make

well gee; thanks for letting US know your thoughts on The Constitution being a technicality

Yep and we will take the appropriate action to defend our country and president against it.

Who cares what that freak says? Impeachment is due process. I'm sure people wept for Nixon , too. And where do they appear in the history books? They don't.

hmmm responding to a point you wish were made instead of the one that was made....your credentials are in order, you are free to proceed to the left.

Perhaps.........but, since the GOP senators are ONLY concerned about their own sorry asses, they will see what happens in the House in 2018....and since many of them are up for re-election in 2020........guess how they'll feel about Trump after this November?

 

[HenryBHough]

A coup of any sort is treason and there's a certified Constitutional punishment for that.

If there is one thing a liberal does not understand or respect, it is the Constitution.

Liberals WROTE the Constitution

United States presidential line of succession - Wikipedia

The line of succession follows the order of Vice President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, President pro tempore of the Senate, and then the eligible heads of federal executive departments who form the president's Cabinet. The Presidential Succession Act refers specifically to officers beyond the vice president acting as president rather than becoming president when filling a vacancy. The Cabinet currently has 15 members, of which the Secretary of State is first in line; the other Cabinet secretaries follow in the order in which their department (or the department of which their department is the successor) was created. Those heads of department who are constitutionally ineligible to be elected to the presidency are also disqualified from assuming the powers and duties of the presidency through succession. Since 1789, the vice president has succeeded to the presidency intra-term on nine occasions, eight times due to the incumbent's death, and once due to resignation. No one lower in the line of succession has yet been called upon to act as president.

Trump did make a very crucial mistake right at the start of his presidency. He tried to play nice with the Clintons and the Dems at the beginning. He should have known better. He should have put an aggressive AG in place, who would have immediately put a special counsel on the Clintons, DOJ, Uranium One and all the other stuff now being ignored. I am starting to think that Trump should actually fire Mueller and the rest of them right now. Everyone worries about the fall out. This crew is out to impeach him anyway. He should tell Mueller he has 30 days to produce his final report or he is gone, and let history decide if he is right or wrong in the decision.

I totally agree and posted the same opinion on the board earlier today.

It is a coup. There is no other way to characterize it.

The house can vote to impeach if they win a majority, it’s unlikely 67 Senators will vote to impeach.

Then those in the house that voted to impeach will have shown themselves and can be voted out of office where liberals don’t have a stranglehold like San Francisco’s, for example.

Any Dem who votes to impeach and is up for re-election in 2019 or 2020 had better have a very nice margin of liberal support in their district.

Here, you eternal moron; read and tell us if the orange buffoon should follow what other dictators have done.


These are the dictators who throw opponents in jail — or worse
