Violating the emoluments clause: that alone would have had Obama impeached.

Even if Democrats had the majority, Obama would have been impeached.

We know Republicans won't allow for Trump to be impeached, even if Democrats were to take back the House and Senate by slim margins. But at what point are Democrats duty-bound to bring forth articles of impeachment? Only after Mueller reveals concrete evidence that Trump colluded with Russia?
