If a President is impeached, can he still be convicted for crimes committed? [View all]
Trump will never be convicted in a court of law...with all his lawyers.
The only judge and jury that the people possess is the US Congress, The House of Representatives and the US Senate.
The only punishment they can distribute is the act of impeachment. They, as a body, both Democrats and Republicans, must make a decision. Is this person fit or unfit to be the President of the United States?
It's a difficult vote if one is a Republican. But they have to vote their conscience and whatever is in the best interests of their, and our, nation? The next time it may be a Democrat and it will be they that will have to put Country over Party. The question? Is the present person sitting in the White House fit for this office of the Presidency?
They must consider impeachment. They have a duty to do so, as American citizens, representing the will of the rest of us, the perceived majority.
For the good of our nation, we need a change in leadership as soon as possible, and only Congress has the power to make that decision.
In my opinion, this is the question facing the nation.
