Impeachment


The House of Representatives voted to impeach President Donald Trump last year making him only the third chief executive to absorb the decision. In fact, I created a booklet detailing the charges and impeachment history for my students. bottom line, the outcome was predictable as the Democrat controlled House voted to impeach even though the Republican controlled Senate was never going to convict him.


The president is facing another possible impeachment trial with only 8 days left in his administration. His fate may turn out differently this time as bi-partisan support for both impeachment and conviction exists in both chambers. The Trump directed rancor is so bad that lawmakers are considering whether to impeach before Biden's inauguration next week and take up the actual trial once the reigns of power has changed hands. In other words, there is motivation to pursue the matter even after President Trump has left office!

President Trump being impeached was not very surprising because of the fact that the democratic party controlled the house and despise him. I was confused on the fact that they were trying to get him out of office even though he only had about a week left in office. I believe that the democrats hated President Trump so much that they wanted to him to the impeached president on his record. This even has affected my life as it has showed me what uncontrollable anger with a person causes people to make irascible decisions. I would address this problem by knowing that we are human and people make bade decisions. Having faith is imperative to knowing that everything will work…

Donald Trump being impeached in general, nonetheless at the time that he did didn't surprise me. However, the purpose for his impeachment was kind of pointless as he was on his way out of his term and wasn't anything he could do. The only major reasoning to pursue this being the democrats wanting to tarnish his reputation and get rid of him so that he wouldn't be involved in the political circle again. Even though the house and senate were split, and the republicans never wanted to push this through it worked, however. And the democrats got what they wanted as he has been out of the political circle until very recently as well have to wait and see if…

Donald Trump being impeached at that specific timing is no surprise to me personally, it seems like they waited for the right moment to impeach him, a moment when everyone was tuned in for political news (even more than they ordinarily are) and "expose" him. The reasoning behind this to me can only be one, they are afraid of Trump running for president or being "too involved" in politics. As time has passed it has been proven that it is indeed in the political agenda to remove Trump so he wont run again, given all the scandals that have recently come to light just around the time when elections start to be near.

The impeachment of Donald Trump holds a significant role in American history, as it caused many to question the integrity of our federal chambers and it highlights a time marked by division within beloved America.

The impeachments showed that when a House is controlled by one party and the senate the other. The fact that the second accusation was at the very end of Trump’s term shows that the democrats were digging hard to find dirt/humiliate and restrict him in the 2020 election. Personally, I do not believe that social media is a strong enough case for impeachment. Was Trump’s presence on social media always appropriate? Certainly not! However, I just do not see a tweet being a strong enough…

The impeachment of President Donald Trump has significant implications for the political and social climate of the United States. It highlights the deep political divisions and polarizing rhetoric that have characterized the Trump presidency, and it underscores the importance of accountability and the rule of law in a democratic society. The outcome of the impeachment trial will have a lasting impact on the future of American politics and may shape the way that future presidents are held accountable for their actions.

From a Christian perspective, the impeachment process raises questions about forgiveness, grace, and accountability. While forgiveness and grace are central tenets of the faith, Christians are also called to uphold justice and to hold leaders accountable for their actions.…
