and THAT is why the president cant deny the subpoenas and subpoenaed witnesses...by claiming some false right of Absolute Immunity for all of his people...otherwise he is obstructing justice, from being obtained and it puts the presidency above the law, and defies and nullifies the Congress's constitutional power to ImpeachYes, but my point was, we dont need this precedent being established. It could lead to less savory times in the years ahead.I dont agree with that premise "anything congress seems impeachable".You are quite right, impeachment can be anything that the Congress deems impeachable. Problem for idiots like you, is that once the impeachment is processed it goes to the Senate where sane people are in charge, and put down all the crazy shit that the left presented....You are a dumbass.The title speaks for itself. Abuse of power is an impeachable offense. trumps impeachment is constitutionally correct.

Let's put it like this, if trump wins again, but the senate goes to the dems, trump will be impeached again, and he will be removed.
Even if the Senate goes to the Dems they need 67 votes to remove. Not likely to happen
Unfortunately, pandora box is already open. If trump is acquitted, then next time dem holds the presidency, and comes into this situation, then people can look back and say "see, repubs got away with it, so you cant impeach the dem president".
If he is removed, then it opens the door for any congress to remove a president at their whim, and it means congress can hold power over the executive branch, via threat of impeachment.
This is simply a bad situation we find ourselves in and it could be bad for the future.
The way I see it, if trump is truly innocent and he has nothing to hide, then he needs these witnesses and documents to come out. He needs to prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that he has done nothing wrong, and put this precedent to bed.
If he is guilty of conspiring with a foreign government, then he needs to be removed. I dont buy the obstruction accusation as I believe there is a procedure for dealing with refused subpoenas, and the dems didnt do it. Each of the 3 coequal branches of government cannot be forced by the other, they can be challenged, and that challenge needs to go to court.
Had the house done that, there is a good chance they would have won, but they didnt, and here we are.
The way I see it, if trump is truly innocent and he has nothing to hide, then he needs these witnesses and documents to come out.
Yeah......in our system of government, it is up to the government to prove it's case....not the victim of the government prosecution....
