One part of our Constitution that has become obsolete. Kentuck

One part of our Constitution that has become obsolete

It is the "impeachment clause".

Will we ever see a president impeached again?

If Congress cannot impeach and convict under the present circumstances, will it ever happen again?

Republicans point to the Bill Clinton impeachment as the model that proves impeachment fails. But, the difference between Bill Clinton and Donald Trump is like night and day. The circumstances are not the same and should not be used for comparison.

The Executive has grown so powerful in the minds of many in the Legislature that our country has put itself into a situation where it presents a great threat to our country. The Congress needs to take back the power for the people. No one person, especially one that is mentally incapacitated, should hold so much power over our survival.

It's not obsolete.
Let's say the Hildebeast had won the election, then all the shady stuff about her campaign and emails came to light.

She'd be impeached.

On the contrary, it's highly relevant. It sets the bar for impeachment and removal well above, "We hates ______, Precious!" Which is why kt hates that clause.

Maybe.  But she'd never be convicted, the Senate DemonRats would nearly all refuse to convict even if they found a duffelbag full of bloody heads and video of her cutting them off.

maybe that has something to do with the former president bragging about how he has a phone and a pen to get his way around Congress....

Racism made the impeachment clause useless during the Obama Regime. He would have been impeached convicted and removed from office if he had been white.

Then again, it's not too hard to be smarter that Kentuck. Boxes of rocks, tree stumps and potted plants are smarter than he is and much more entertaining to be around.

6. I'd rather see the 2nd amendment revised or removed....if you're looking for

something worthwhile to do.

At least address the open ended phrase "bear arms". WTF?

Kentuck has found an intellectual equal to spar with.
