To impeach or not to impeach? It’s the question that’s been bitterly dividing Democrats since they gained control of the House last year and which has only intensified since the Mueller report.
A lot of the worry may have a lot to do with the complexity of impeachment itself. The fact is impeachment is only an official charge of wrongdoing and only the first step to removing a President from office. Once impeached, the Senate decides the President’s fate. In fact, in the history of the U.S.
only two presidents have been impeached: Andrew Johnson for breaking the 1867 Tenure of Office Act and Bill Clinton for lying under oath to a federal grand jury. Neither president was actually removed from office. Is Pelosi right that impeaching Trump would be the wrong way to get him out of office? Or is there a case to be made that by not impeaching Trump, Democrats are letting the Trump administration get away with flouting the law? You’d need to know more about impeachment to decide.
