The Pretended Articles of Impeachment Against a President newswithviews.com/the-pretended-…
Since the language of the Constitution states two crimes (treason and bribery) and then a clause, which contains the words “other crimes,” it seems clear that criminal conduct is contemplated by the drafters of the Constitution for this impeachment clause to become operative.
Therefore, I believe these are really “pretended articles of impeachment” because they fail to make a case for impeachment even if they were true. Moreover, the Democrat's argument seems to center on the idea that he has somehow “hijacked“ the foreign policy of the United States.
The difficulty with this argument is the president is the only person in all of the constitution charged with developing and implementing foreign policy. Therefore I don’t see how it’s possible for him to “hijack” foreign policy since all the decisions are ultimately his to make.
The president has every right and privilege to disagree with Congress and owes them no duty that supersedes his duty to keep his Oath to the Constitution. And, of course, he has no legal obligation to participate, encourage, or aid and abet the mischief of Congress.
Remember, Congress is the body with a secret slush fund that according to the Office of Compliance has reportedly paid victims of harassment, sexual or otherwise, more than $17 million since its creation in the 1990s.
It is also the body that provides funding to murder the most innocent and defenseless among us. It is also the body that exempts itself from the rules it makes for others.
I prefer a president who acts independently and provides a check and restraint on the excesses and “pretended” authority of the legislative branch. In fact, one could argue that “obstructing Congress” is not only NOT a crime; it is the Constitutional DUTY of the President.
The transcript of the two President's conversation contains no conditions on the aid in question, and in fact, the aid was delivered.
Nothing John Bolton or any other witness can say will change these facts.

Democrats try to read President Trump's mind to reveal sinister motives. They want to impeach him for what they imagine might be in his heart and mind, but how could his motives be impeachable if his actions were not?
The Senate is being asked to remove President Trump from office because Schiff and the Democrats don't trust the people not to vote for him again. Apparently @SenatorRomney @SenatorCollins @lisamurkowski and @SenAlexander agree.
