Book excerpt: Is it the END TIMES for the TRUMP-ERA?This is what you've been waiting for.NOW YOU CAN OWN A PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY.CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS FOR PRESIDENTIAL IMPEACHMENT-REPORT BY THE MAJORITY STAFF OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY-COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVESONE HUNDRED AND SIXTEENTH CONGRESSFIRST SESSIONThe House Judiciary Committee issued a historic report laying the groundwork to impeach President Donald Trump! They've outlined--in Constitutional terms--what the panel believes amounts to an IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE! Chairman Jerrold Nadler described the analysis as the heir to the only similar report produced by the Judiciary Committee--the one created during the impeachment proceedings against RICHARD NIXON. (That document was merely updated during the Bill Clinton impeachment--not truly rewritten.)"The earlier reports remain useful points of reference, but no longer reflect the best available learning on questions relating to presidential impeachment. Further, they do not address several issues of constitutional law with particular relevance to the ongoing impeachment inquiry respecting President Donald J. Trump." - Jerrold Nadler, ChairmanIt's worth noting that this report was written entirely by DEMOCRATIC staff, unlike the Nixon-era iteration, which had some degree of bi-partisanhip. The Judiciary Committee's document draws on the historical effort by lawmakers to analyze and understand impeachment, that is, as the framers of the CONSTITUTION intended it. The committee's document is FILLED with citations of the FEDERALIST PAPERS, the Constitution and the debates at the Constitutional Convention. It also cites the famous Frost-Nixon interviews, modern case law and comments by Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton in the context of their own impeachment processes. Judiciary Report Highlights:"No President is entitled to persist in office after committing 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors,'" the report reads, "and no one who voted for him in the last election is entitled to expect he will do so.""A President who perverts his role as chief diplomat to serve private rather than public ends has unquestionably engaged in 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors' -- especially if he invited, rather than opposed, foreign interference in our politics.""The President is entitled to present a full defense, at trial in the Senate. It is thus in the Senate, and not in the House, where the President might properly raise certain protections associated with trials." "There is no power in the Constitution that a President can exercise immune from legal consequence. The existence of any such unchecked and uncheckable authority in the federal government would offend the bedrock principle that nobody is above the law. [T]he exact forms of Presidential wrongdoing that they discussed in Philadelphia could be committed through use of executive powers, and it is unthinkable that the Framers left the Nation defenseless in such cases."NOW YOU CAN OWN A PIECE OF AMERICAN HISTORY!
