Losing it...Trump calls for Romney impeachment

That was the fix…removing the period after the constitution

Lol, you think he asks for advice from his staff? Stable genius and all?

I think sometimes they intervene when they get the chance, but I don’t anyone comes between Trump and his tweeting device.

Good choice seeing how dead wrong you are

Yeah…i guess I just wish that they’d keep him off things like this.

Lol, not me, I love getting these type of insights into Trump’s wonderful brain.

Well, it’s not in trump-speak.

I’m not the impeachee!

You’re the impeachee!

Well, you arguably can impeach a member of Congress.

But it’s never happened, because both Houses have rules that allow for the expulsion of members, and it is a much easier standard to reach than impeachment as described in the Constitution.

The legal question is whether members of Congress are “civil Officers of the United States”. The Court has never ruled on this, but I would argue that they are.

This is not a settled issue.

Is the hashtag what it is your talking about? Personally…I’d say he used that word because it’s the word of the moment. It’s the hottest word in Libville and on almost every news channel and news source running. He’s attempting to transfer some of this energy to his POV IMHO.

If King Donald wants Romney impeached, then Congress should impeached him.

Explain away…

That’s because I am not low IQ enough to actually speak in Trump Speak.

No…there is no mechanism for it. Each body polices and judges its own members.

Well, of course there is a mechanism for it.

The House could draft and pass articles of impeachment against a Senator, or even of a member of the House.

The Senate could hold a trial, and vote on it.

I understand that it is unnecessary, and will never happen - but there’s really no legal precedent here.

Impeachment in the constitution is only for federal officers. Congressmen are not officers.

It is long settled precedent that Representatives and Senators are NOT subject to the impeachment process. They are subject only to the much simpler process of expulsion.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

Civil Officers do NOT include Representatives or Senators. It does include principle officers and inferior officers. It does not include mere employees. Interestingly, any commissioned military officer could be subject to impeachment. Enlisted personnel could not be subject to impeachment. Career civil servants, whether on the General Schedule or in the Senior Executive Service would not be subject to impeachment.

What insults?

What you see and what you hear is not what is happening

Thank you @Safiel…that is exactly what I posted. Even linked.
