Removing President Turd
We're all becoming legal scholars these days as the nation tries to figure out how to survive. Lots of numbers being thrown around; thought I'd summarize a theme (in numerical order). Odds right now (even according to his Neonazi pal Bannon) are that the 25th amendment, rather than impeachment, will be Turd's downfall. Failing that, I think eventually one of his nutjob followers will be disaffected enough to attempt a 2nd Amendment solution.
ARTICLE 1 SECTION 2 CLAUSE 5
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
ARTICLE 1 SECTION 3 CLAUSE 6
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
ARTICLE 1 SECTION 3 CLAUSE 7
Judgment in Cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
ARTICLE 2 SECTION 4
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
ARTICLE 3 SECTION 3 CLAUSE 1
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
AMENDMENT 1
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
AMENDMENT 2
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
AMENDMENT 25 CLAUSE 4
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

Ends it there. There are witnesses to things that MIGHT IMPLY that a thing happened with the guy who stayed at a Trump property in 2016 but that is as close as it gets.
I have FORGOTTEN more about the USC than everyone in the DUmp have ever "learned."

Trump is toast! This has legs!
Point to ANYTHING Trump has done to "qualify" impeachment proceedings.

The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker
OK dipshit it is choose, not that I am being a spelling nazi.
Since you are trying to act like you have a freaking working brain, check your spelling loser.
And before you post all this stupid shit you need to check with the Palmer Report or at least consult with Lois Mensch
You have 24 hours to fix this.

I suppose their stupid little hobby has a positive aspect, as it keeps them from meddling in more important and relevant matters.

Like getting a J-O-B, for starters.
Although the mandatory drug testing would likely weed out about 99.9% of the DUmmies.
