When does upholding the constitution become a matter of convenience?


A. When you conveniently forgot that you took an oath of office.

B. When there are elections. (let's not upset the voters)

C. When you need to keep your powder dry.

D. When high crimes and misdemeanors don't rise to your standard of what is important.

E. When conventional wisdom says you can't win an impeachment trial, before it starts. (so why bother,right?)

F. When you don't care enough about the future of this country.

G. All of the above


Correct answer. G
