House Speaker Nancy Pelosi served us some big breaking news yesterday. She had announced a formal impeachment inquiry of President Trump. Some of us aren’t fully aware of what this means. Here are some bullet points:
In other words Congress is fed up! They believe the President is no longer fit to serve and needs to be removed from office ASAP. According to what The Constitution says: “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.” Who can impeach the president?
The House can vote to impeach a president for “high crimes and misdemeanors.” It’s up to the House to decide what that means. However, what most people have confused is impeaching the president is not the same thing as removing the president from office.
We will continue to keep you all updated!
