As part of an overarching bill involving monuments and memorials, Democrats have introduced a bill that would prevent any president impeached more than once to be buried at Arlington National Cemetary.

In a statement from Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) said, "for years, Donald Trump poured gasoline on lies, encouraging racism and hatred, then lit the match on January 6th. A president who has been impeached twice does not deserve the honors bestowed on a former president. We should never glorify the hatred Donald Trump personified as President. This bill ensures that there is no glory for hate – not a building, statue, or even a park bench." The bill would also "prohibit the use of Federal funds for the commemoration of certain former Presidents, and for other purposes," said the text, according to ABC4.

House Bill 484, says that federal funds would not be allowed to be used to:

"Create or display any symbol, monument, or statue commemorating any former President that has been twice impeached by the House of Representatives on or before the date of enactment of this Act or has been convicted of a State or Federal crime relating to actions taken in an official capacity as President of the United States on Federal public land, including any highway, park, subway, Federal building, military installation, street, or other Federal property."

[soothsayer]

1. As an Arlingtonian, I support this

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. I think the groundskeepers wouldn't want to have to deal with a grave

where they'd keep having to replace the grass on it.

[Bayard]

3. I don't believe they allow gold headstones there anyway

But I think most of the country would object to him being there.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

4. You know he'd want the biggest and "most beautiful" monument built over his fat corpse.

He'd also want a dozen "eternal flames," since JFK has only one.

5. Urine is a good fertilizer

It might mean they’d have to mow more frequently.

[Withywindle]

13. If they let people piss on it for a small fee

It would be a huge boost to the maintenance budget for the rest of the grounds.

[FakeNoose]

7. Is this even an issue? A lot of our Presidents aren't buried there

I don't know that it should be assumed he wants to be buried at Arlington.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. I believe that Trump has indicated that he wants to be buried on the grounds

of his golf course in Bedminster, NJ.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

9. Well, that's the one way for him to legitimately

make it to the putting green.

[Captain Zero]

11. They should bury him face down on the 18th hole

as nd make his asshole hold the cup.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

14. You mean Don Jr?

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. I agree, although Arlington would make an easy to find location to deliver bags of urine. Nt

[CanonRay]

12. Surely we can find a landffill

[jmowreader]

15. My recommendation...

...is we run his corpse through an industrial meat grinder and use the product as shark bait.

[maxrandb]

16. An easier solution is passing a law

That states only those that have served in the military and earned an Honorable Discharge are eligible for burial in Arlington.

It should be for those that served in the military, and civilian positions like C-in-C don't count.
