Removing a President

For John, BLUF:  There is, to me, little doubt that Speaker Pelosi loathed President Trump and thought the Republic would be better off with him gone.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Presidential Impeachment/Removal Plans, 2016 to 2020

From Ehtics Alarms, by Mr Jack Marshall, 2021.

Here is the lede plus one:

There have been 20 Plans to abuse various processes, laws and theories, all put forward and promoted by members of the Democratic Party / ”resistance” / mainstream news media alliance since President Trump’s election in November of 2016.  This page has been added to the references on the Ethics Alarms home page for easy reference, and also because I view this conduct by that group to be the most irresponsible, undemocratic and dangerous attack on our national values and institutions at least since the 19th century.

The desired effect of this barrage, apart from serving the goal of removing an elected President without the bother (and risk) of an election, has been to make it impossible for the President to govern, and to destroy his support among the public.  So far, neither of these goals have been achieved.

There is much too much passion in politics these days.  Passion expressed openly.  We would all be better off holding some of our hotter opinions to ourselves.  We become angry and then we are more like The Hulk than like Saint Francis.  That is not good.
