[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Impeaching a president is now useless. Why bother? The only president who ever left voluntarily was Nixon and he resigned before being impeached.[/quote]
Lol, Nixon didn’t resign because he was remorseful or because he wanted to spare the country from further turmoil. He resigned because [i]Republican Congressmen[/i] paid him a visit at the WH to let him know that the Republican Party was not going to stand with him and that not only would he be impeached by the House, but there were enough senators who would vote to convict him that he would be the first president to be removed from office by Congress. His own party encouraged him to resign to spare him the humiliation of being removed. He didn’t volunteer to resign; he was voluntold.

Nixon’s resignation came about because the Republicans of 50 years ago put their country before their party. The rule of law was more important to them than sticking it to the Democrats.

The only reason why Trump will not be impeached a third time and subsequently removed from office is because today’s Congressional Republicans are terrified of what the MAGA cult members would do to them if they upheld their oath to support and defend the Constitution.[/quote]

Thanks for this explanation. Perhaps we should pressure republican congressman? What can we do??[/quote]

They answer to their special interests.

And their constituents, to a lesser degree. [/quote]
