(3,433 posts)Sorry if that's a little too direct but the president obstructed justice and conspired to steal the presidential election using foreign aid. That is treason. It is congress's responsibility to hold him to account. We are beyond politics. I assumed that the house was putting their case together which is why I wasnt immediately behind impeachment upon delivery of the report. There is more than enough evidence to impeach AND convict. I know the latter is never going to happen and it's becoming increasingly clear the former is either.
When politicians accept their positions they swear to uphold the Constitution and defend our democracy. As members of Congress it is their primary responsibility to represent their constituents and to hold the executive branch in check. Winning re-election is secondary. While I do understand the necessity of holding the house and winning the presidency, if we are going to believe in the United States of America and the principles of our democracy then we must demand that our elected officials accept and execute their oath of office....PERIOD.
