Donald Trump Committed Another Impeachable Offense This Week (Military actions)

[Equinox Moon]

On Wednesday, US forces carried out more unauthorized airstrikes on pro-government forces in Syria. Though the Constitution explicitly states that the legislative branch, not the executive, has the power to initiate new military actions, Trump has steered the United States deeper into the Syrian conflict.

The thing is that the republiCons would have to find it within themselves to uphold the Constitution. We have not seen this.

1. AND. Obama blocked sale of some weapons to Saudis, fearing they would be used to commit war crimes.

Trump just sold them.

2. But, unless it was legislation by congress

trump can override anything Obama did and that is not impeachable.

4. Impeachment is entirely a subjective and political act.

Something is "impeachable" if a majority of the House decides that it is at any given time, there is no comprehensive list of offenses.

5. Congress is Republican in both houses

doesn't matter what he did on the sales as long as Congress is not complaining about it.

Interesting that Trump has ruled mostly via Exec. order...or, in a true regime, by fiat.
