Did Trump Commit an Impeachable Offense Yesterday?

[Vidal]

Most people, if they refuse to do their job, will be fired.

Yesterday Trump said he refused to do his job.

He should be fired.

1. Not exactly legally correct

But it is certainly something to bring to the electorate.

2. Trump has been committing impeachable offenses since day one.

This is just adding 0.000000001 to a pile of 0.000000057968.

3. Of course it was. What everyone keeps forgetting is that...

impeachment is largely a political process, not so much a legal one. The Framers deliberately left "high crimes and misdemeanors" undefined so it would be whatever the House says it is.

And then there's the 25th amendment-- if a President refuses to do his job.

4. Did the name of the day have a y in it?

5. Trump-Ass needs MORE time for Golfing......

In 2 1/2 years, he has already racked up a $100 million dollar tab to the American Tax payers and is on record to MORE than double that before another 2 years are up.

Where is the GOP outrage for such a waste of Tax Payer money?

And Trump-Ass bitched about all the Golfing and vacationing Obama did to the tune of $96 million over 8 years. Let us not forget that!

6. Sounded more like extortion to me. Threatening to not meet with Congress about legislation until all

investigations are stopped. He thinks he can block congressional oversight by telling them he will not meet with them to consider legislation.

7. Agree

But still, I think he violated his oath of office.

8. Yes, that's also true.

9. The British Parliament once impeached a prosecutor for refusing to prosecute too many cases.

So, sure, that's an impeachable offense. The phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" is from British impeachments, where misdemeanors may have had its original meaning of "acting with bad demeanor," or, in modern terminology, being an asshole.

10. What day doesn't Trump commit an impeachable offense?

That's the better question.
