First two are unlikely, but they can sue him. Unpresidential but not a high crime.

Third, unmm no. That's not how that works. Again obviously unpresidential.

Fourth is a real stretch, but it's an interesting case. If not bribery, certainly is some version of abuse of power. Personally I don't find it enough to be impeached over.

Fifth is just dumb.

Sixth is likely given his business history. I'd think THAT is impeachable if recent and bad enough.

Seventh also dumb.

My four year old at bath time: "No, that's dumb."
You at impeachment time: "No, that's dumb."

Racketeering is dumb, come on. "Bribery", in this context, is not dumb but not impeachable on these facts.[/quote]

You speak with such authority. lol Seriously if you think this isn't impeachable, then you also must conclude that the Constitution is a highly flawed, poorly written document.[/quote]

Not at all. the most brilliant political document in the history of mankind.

To remove a sitting president is to take democracy away from the voters. It's a very big deal. And something truly shocking, a real high crime, would have no trouble getting 2/3 of Senators to agree.[/quote]

Is the Electoral College also taking "democracy away from the voters"? The president is elected via the Electoral College (see the Constitution). The president can be removed through impeachement (see the Constitution). As in the Constitution, the person who wins the popular vote doesn't necessarily get to be president. As in the Constitution, the president doesn't necessarily get to stay the president if impeached and removed from office.

Impeachment is part of the Constitution. It's not a coup. Duh. But b it's VA high high bar and was designed that way.  we have had some really horrible presidents the last 200 years and the Senate has not removed one from office. Why is that?  the founders wanted a stable democracy. A stable system. [b]With short terms of four years the voters will keep the truly bad seeds from occupying office too long.[/b][/quote]

The bad seeds are paying very close attention to the outcome of impeachment. If Trump is not removed from office, it will be game on for every snake and megalomaniac in this country. Trump will just be the beginning. [/quote]
