They don’t count for anything! Just shut up, lay back, think of England, and pay up.

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.

The first step involves the House of Representatives formally charging a government official with high crimes and misdemeanors.

The second step involves a trial in the Senate to convict (or acquit) and remove.

Impeachment and the House of Representatives involvement ended with impeachment.

Impeachment does not mean removal.

Impeachment means charged with a crime of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

Conviction means two-thirds of the US Senate votes to remove the government official.

Stop believing the process requires your thoughts or emotions.

Impeachment and Trial only requires taxpayers to pay for the proceedings.

Nothing else. Just shell out more money and shut up!

You can’t vote for anything. You can’t express your opinion to people who will not listen.

You will be required (SILENTLY) to finance the politicians, their lawyers, the paperwork, their billable hours, their expenses, their food, their transportation, their parking, their healthcare, their clothing, their aids, their internet access, their fact-finding missions, their flights from the Senate trial to campaigning in Iowa, their flights back, their TV exposure, their marketing of their speech of the day, their makeup, their haircuts, their bullet pens, their fanfare, their paperwork, their research, and everything else government bilks the taxpayer for.

Then there will be arguing and you will finance all of this also.

Then there will be more arguing and another tab to pay.

Then finally, there will be a vote.

A conviction and removal of office will occur when a super-majority of the Senate (67 Senators) vote for a conviction.

The US Senate is (almost) split evenly between the Democrats and the Republicans and while a few may-or-may-not vote against party lines; the majority will and always will.

Thus, this entire use of taxpayer financed funds will amount to little surprise to anyone except the Biblically clueless that it was all for naught, all a financial fiasco, a complete waste of time and money.

Of course, until the next election, and every day thereafter, the Democrats will say the Republicans voted to hide a crook and the Republicans will say the Democrats are still sore about November in 2016.

When I see well-dressed politicians, in first class seats on a plane, eating 5 star cuisine, travelling here and there with scores of similar aids and legal representation, laughing all the way to the bank, I wonder why anyone keeps falling for these charades that transfer capital, borne by the sweat of taxpayers, to charlatans pulling all of the strings.

Prove me wrong. Present your best argument. Whether you do this before or after you fill out your 1040 forms is your business.

Your answer may change accordingly.

By the provisions of the U.S. House of Representatives' Articles of Impeachment, President Trump is indelibly impeached. For the instance that there is not enough public interest to impeach, I propose the defense that it has already been done. Like the insinuating truth that lies within every American's conscious reasoning whether or not they are affinitive to his campaign, one should know that his character is ignominious to the United States of America.

This is not the first but the second time he has been accused of allowing a foreign power to intervene in an American election. Through the likeness of Sekulow's opening arguments, president Trump is certainly guilty of Bribery, Treason, and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors. His defense does not reflect normal American ideology that proposes he was innocent. Instead, he is aiming to Aid Others in Terrorism against Congress to change a presumption that has already been enacted.

The Radicalist right wing partisanship is certainly deemed culpable for crimes against America. Indeed, there is no valid defense that corresponds with American principle. Instead, there is evidence that these same Radicalist ideas caused the impeachment of Andrew Johnson, an advocater for African American Civil Rights. He was deemed a traitor for exposing evidence on his party that would make African American's lose state rights to ensure a very expensive and manipulative "Freedmen Bureau" bill that would allow a government agency to assume more power over one specific group of people. Likewise, he was also abused by other Republicans for comments that reflected his sociology over American values. In short, he was impeached for opposing slavery, and this insinuated that the Republican party has always had their foot in the door in American elections.

This is not the only instance however. Richard Nixon was accused of the Watergate Scandal that was also an attempt to influence American elections. He also shot to dig up dirt on the Democratic party. So, he could reclaim office and manipulate the American people through power harassment. If you refer to his articles of impeachment below, you will find that the instances coexist as converging to with our current president:

1. ARTICLE I, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE (Approved 27-11)

In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States, and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has prevented, obstructed and impeded the administration of justice, in that:

On June 17, 1972, and prior thereto, agents of the Committee for the Re-election of the President:

Committed unlawful entry of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, District of Columbia, for the purpose of securing political intelligence. Subsequent thereto, Richard M. Nixon, using the powers of his high office, engaged personally and through his subordinates and agents in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such unlawful entry; to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible; and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful covert activities. Wherefore Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office. ...

2. ARTICLE II, ABUSE OF POWER. (Approved 28-10) Using the powers of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of his ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in disregard of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has repeatedly engaged in conduct violating the constitutional rights of citizens, impairing the due and proper administration of justice in the conduct of lawful inquiries, of contravening the law of governing agencies of the executive branch and the purposes of these agencies

3. In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, contrary to his oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has failed without lawful cause or excuse to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas issued by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on April 11, 1974, May 15, 1974, May 30, 1974, and June 24, 1974, and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas. ...

As you can see, by the death of Abraham Lincoln, and the impeachment of Republican Andrew Johnson, the Replubican parties only uses force, intimidation, and terror to assert their dominance over minorities. Indeed, they abuse their power and harass Americans everyday by allowing them to believe that President Trump could ever be fully exonerated with an open court admission of guilt by his entire defense team. It will be a sad day in America the day he is acquitted. Indeed, it is a scary sight to see a president abuse his power and get away with it by perpetuating the exact definition of terrorism. That will mark the beginning of the Death of Democracy.
