Is there a Duty to Impeach?

[tymorial]

78. Every member in Congress is oath bound to defend the constitution

And ultimately to impeach if the subject of inquiry has committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

There is no middle ground here. The entire purpose of impeachment and separation of powers is to prevent the very situation we now experience. The founders recognize the need to protect the nation from corruption and abuse of power by the executive. The mere fact that Congress seems either reluctant or unwilling to act is deeply troubling. Are we a constitutional republic governed by laws or are we merely upholding and abiding by the law when it is convenient? Does Congress take its oath seriously?

Every member of Congress ought to be answering these questions because whether impeachment is "politically convenient" is no valid consideration. And quite frankly neither is re-election.

If we allow Trump to get away with everything he has done then we are admitting that the constitution is meaningless and the president is able to act as a dictator without repercussion.
