The bells of impeachment are tolling, and despite what he may think, President Trump is not burning at the stake for his actions.
The impeachment proceedings are necessary to restore the faith of democracy in the United States, and to prevent tyrants, like Trump from abusing their power.
It’s essential to impeach President Trump to insure that he is out of the 2020 Presidential election. With his cyclical process of consistently conspiring with foreign leaders to undermine the campaigns of presidential candidates, it is obvious that Trump cannot be trusted to continue to run this country.
His latest move to inquire with newly-elected Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, about investigating Democratic candidate Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, undermines the American democratic process and inhibits a fair election procedure.
It is assumed that Trump targeted Biden and his son because it appears that Biden is the presumptuous Democratic nominee for the 2020 Presidential election. For him, politicking is a game where he will discredit and damage his potential opponent in the upcoming race.
Seems oddly familiar, eliciting memories of the 2016 Presidential election and the uncovering of Hillary Clinton’s emails.
But the similarities do not stop with Clinton. Conspiring with a foreign leader reminds the public of Robert Mueller’s investigation on Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia.
Trump’s recklessness with national security is cause for apprehension. His patterns of deceit and misconduct are alarming. The underlying concern — he is truly unpatriotic.
This is further illustrated in the anonymous whistleblower’s complaint, which uncovered the alleged misconduct with Ukraine.
“In the course of my official duties, I have received information from multiple U.S. Government officials that the President of the United States is using the power of his office to solicit interference from a foreign country in the 2020 U.S. election,” said the whistleblower in their anonymous complaint to Adam Schiff and Richard Burr, both representatives in Congress.
Trump’s divisiveness not only causes division among the nation, but within his office itself, as many of his own staff have expressed their uneasiness of having witnessed his actions.
Someone who values democracy would not continue to use divisive language that goes beyond partisanship, and undercuts the authority of America as a world power. If democracy truly was respected, Trump would not see this necessary impeachment proceeding as a witch hunt, but as a just trial.
If his inability to prioritize national security isn’t bad enough, his continuous jargon spewed across the internet is equally as dangerous and illustrates his true background as a Hollywood personality, not a politician.
On Sept. 28, three days after the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, filed an impeachment inquiry to remove Trump from office. The President posted a tweet with some of his classic vernacular acting as a guise to cover his guilty conscience.
The tweet read, “They are trying to stop ME, because I am fighting for YOU!” followed by a video attached to the tweet in which Trump delegitimizes the impeachment inquiry by calling it “the greatest scam in the history of American politics.” He listed the various things that Democrats are allegedly trying to “take away” from the American public, like healthcare and guns.
The process of impeachment is filled with twists and turns. First, a request of impeachment is sent to the House Judiciary Committee, a bipartisan group of judges, which includes the evidence of impeachable behavior which is gathered by House members.
Then, the evidence is forwarded to a subcommittee on the Constitution, which draws out the actual articles of impeachment, and sent back to the House Judiciary Committee for their vote.
If a majority of the Judiciary Committee votes in favor of impeachment, it is then passed on to the House, and then the Senate.
With two different stages in Congress, there are many worries and speculations about who will cross party lines and who will stay loyal to their soil.
According to a CNN count, there are at least 223 House Democrats that have declared their support for the impeachment proceedings, however this doesn’t guarantee they will vote in favor of impeachment when the time comes. For a conviction, 67 Senate votes are needed.
Trump must alter his public relations strategy to stay in power. Without correcting the unjustifiable actions of President Trump, the U.S. is laying down the foundation for future leaders to further disrupt the democratic process, and only allowing fascist tyrants to act freely without consequence.
No one is above the law. This unpatriotic act elevates Trump’s self-indulging behavior and his ambition to cause divisiveness amongst the nation.
