1/ Today I asked: what happens if we don't reject the Trump team’s BREATHTAKING argument that the Pres. can't be impeached for quid pro quos or abuses of power to help his re-election if he thinks his re-election is in the national interest? Our democracy wouldn't be the same.
2/ If the Senate endorses this, what would stop the President from illegally freezing millions of taxpayer dollars Congress appropriated to Flint, Mich., to fix its poisoned water system, until Flint’s Mayor agrees to endorse him in Michigan? NOTHING. 
3/ What would stop the President from illegally freezing millions Congress appropriated to hurricane-hit Puerto Rico or farmers reeling from severe flooding in Iowa, Missouri & Nebraska, until the Gov. of PR or home state Senators agree to campaign with him. NOTHING.
4/ If we allow this, what would stop the President from illegally withholding millions Congress appropriated to fight wildfires in Colorado or California, until home state senators agree to endorse his preferred primary candidates for Congress? NOTHING.
5/ The Framers feared an unchecked executive who'd use public dollars as a personal slush fund. That’s why they gave Congress the EXCLUSIVE power of the purse. The Senate must NEVER cede the very check that stops the President from acting like a King.
