21. "I dont care if an attorney is..." that's obvious..

You can make stuff up all day...but the Constitution DOES NOT..
...define HC&M's. Try sourcing it in the Constitution....I'll wait.
Just because the House calls something a HC&M...doesn't make it a "Law".
A law requires concurrence of both chambers of Congress AND a POTUS signature.

This is the 2nd time you said dumpster confessed..but all you have is Napolitano saying he did.

You say.." The articles give the legislature's the power to create laws"...yet the House hasn't voted on even ONE article of impeachment...and wouldn't make them a "law".

Re: impeachment...
Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5

The House of Representatives shall chose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
(A political... NOT a legal process)

Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 6 and 7

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside; And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
(ZERO mandate in the Constitution to Convict).

As I said before..the House could call taking a dump in the Rose Garden a High Crime & Misdemeanor for impeachment...it would be foolish but Constitutional....and the Senate would acquit.
No Lawyer will be disbarred for a vote to acquit.

You are the only one here that has made this argument and not ONE person..let alone DU attorneys have said you are correct. This post is a prime example of "knowing the Constitution before using it"....more specifically, misrepresenting it's meaning.
