Major impeachment efforts beginning by Democrats now of Trump

 The latest efforts to impeach Trump was on CNN today by Billionaire Tom STeyer. However, some are suspicious of his wanting to replace Diane Feinstein who might retire from the U.S. Senate Soon because she is in her 80s now.

However, many people, especially democrats are taking him seriously especially after the 5 presidents gathered as one voice to help Hurricane victims in Texas without Trump being there. So, about 1/2  of Republicans want Trump gone and all Democrats do too. So, this might be the beginning of the end of Trump as President now.

Efforts to impeach Donald Trump

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Efforts to start the process of impeachment against U.S. President Donald Trump, who took office in 2017, have been initiated by U.S. Representatives Al Green and Brad Sherman, both Democrats.[1][2] Other people and groups have asserted that Trump has engaged in impeachable activity during his presidency.[3][4] Talk of impeachment began before Trump took office,[5][6] as did talk of impeaching his opponent in the general election, Hillary Clinton.[7][8] Efforts began after a series of events in May 2017.[9][10][11] The likelihood of impeachment in 2017 is seen as remote, since Republicans control the House.[12][nb 1]

Initial impeachment efforts

In December 2016, Senators Elizabeth Warren, Dick Durbin, Chris Coons, Ben Cardin, and Jeff Merkley introduced a bill that would require the President of the United States to divest any assets that could raise a conflict of interest, including a statement that the failure to divest such assets would constitute high crimes and misdemeanors "under the impeachment clause of the U.S. Constitution".[5] Vanity Fair characterized this as a preemptive effort to lay the groundwork for a future impeachment argument.[5] Concerns had previously been expressed that Trump's extensive business and real estate dealings, especially with respect to government agencies in other countries, may violate the Foreign Emoluments Clause of the United States Constitution,[6] sparking debate as to whether that is the case.[13][14]
Immediately after his inauguration, The Independent and The Washington Post each reported on efforts already underway to impeach Trump, based on asserted conflicts of interest arising from Trump's ability to use his political position to promote the interests of "Trump"-branded businesses, and ongoing payments by foreign entities to businesses within the Trump business empire as a violation of the Foreign Emoluments Clause.[3][4] In March 2017, China provisionally granted 38 "Trump" trademark applications that were set to take permanent effect in 90 days, which were noted to come in close proximity to Trump making policy decisions favorable to China.[15]
The Washington Post further noted the creation of ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org by Free Speech For People and RootsAction, two liberal advocacy groups.[4] On February 9, 2017, Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D, New York) had filed a resolution of inquiry, titled "H.Con.Res.5" to force the Trump administration to turn over documents relating to potential conflicts of interest and to ties with Russia.[16] Some sources have identified this as the first step in the process of impeaching Trump.[17][18] Fox News has outlined two potential bases for impeachment, one being the Emoluments Clause and the other being complicity with Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election.[19] On March 21, 2017, it was widely reported that senior Congresswoman Maxine Waters tweeted, "Get ready for impeachment", which Waters explained was in reference to the allegations of collusion with Russian interference in the election.[20]
The Impeach Trump Leadership PAC, a United States political action committee, was started in February 2017 by California Democratic Party congressional candidate Boyd Roberts, who filed documents with the Federal Election Commission to create the PAC on February 13.[21]

Proposed grounds for impeachment and timeline

May 2017

Further information: Dismissal of James Comey, Comey memos, and Donald Trump's disclosure of classified information to Russia

Actions and revelations

In the first public testimony after his firing, James Comey is asked about obstruction of justice
Following Trump's dismissal of James Comey, multiple Democratic members of Congress discussed an "impeachment clock" for Trump, saying that he was "moving" toward impeachment and raising the future possibility of bringing forth articles of impeachment for obstruction of justice and criminal malfeasance, if proof of illegal activity were found.[9][10] Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut stated in an interview: "It may well produce another United States v. Nixon on a subpoena that went to United States Supreme Court. It may well produce impeachment proceedings, although we're very far from that possibility."[11]
Later in May, news of Donald Trump's disclosure of classified information to Russia led to further discussions about the possibility of impeachment, with Representative Maxine Waters in particular alluding to the possibility.[22]
At almost the same time in May, the revelation that the chief executive had asked Director Comey to let Flynn get a pass led still more observers, including Senator Angus King, to say that impeachment might be in the offing.[23]
The developments led Senator John McCain to venture that matters had reached "Watergate scope and size". This was in reference to the Watergate scandal of the 1972–74 period and, possibly, to the impeachment process against Richard Nixon.[24]

Preparations for possible proceedings

Impeachment proceedings begin with a resolution being introduced in the House of Representatives. The first two Representatives to publicly suggest such an action were Pramila Jayapal (D-WA)[25] and Al Green (D-TX).[26]
Two Republican Representatives, Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and Carlos Curbelo (R-Fla.), have called for impeachment on the grounds that obstruction of justice charges against Trump were proven true.[27]
Congressman Luis Gutierrez, 'It is the Judiciary Committee in the House where impeachment begins.'
Congressman Al Green's Floor Speech on the Impeachment of President Trump
On May 17, Representative Green made a call for impeachment on the house floor,[28][29] and House oversight committee chairman Jason Chaffetz announced that he was issuing subpoenas on the memo that FBI director James Comey wrote detailing possible obstruction of justice by the president.[30] On May 24, 2017, Green told CSPAN in an interview that he was drafting articles of impeachment and would shortly submit them as a privileged resolution, to begin the formal impeachment process.[31]
However, some major Democratic figures have stressed the need for caution, patience and bipartisanship in any potential impeachment process.[32]
Administration officials have said that White House lawyers are indeed researching impeachment proceedings and how to deal with them.[33][34]

Independent counsel appointment

On May 17, 2017, former FBI Director Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, acting after the recusal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, [35] and any cover-up related to it by Trump or any White House officials.[36][37] According to sources close to the White House, the Trump administration is considering using various obscure legal means to slow down the investigation and undermine the special counsel.[38][39]

June 2017

Former FBI Director James Comey agreed to testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on June 8.[40] Shortly after the date of Comey's testimony was announced however, there was talk of the Trump administration invoking Executive Privilege to block Comey from testifying. Some legal experts and politicians, such as Representative Eric Swalwell of California, argued that Trump's numerous comments in news interviews and on Twitter regarding the subjects Comey would testify on (such as whether or not Trump tried to improperly influence or coerce Comey and the reasons why Trump fired him) may well have voided the validity of an Executive Privilege claim in this instance.[41]
On June 7, 2017 an advance copy of Comey's prepared congressional testimony was submitted to the Senate Intelligence Committee.[42] In it, he said that on February 14, 2017, the President attempted to persuade him to "let go" of any investigation into Michael Flynn.[43] He added that Trump requested his personal loyalty, to which Comey replied he would give his "honest loyalty" to the President.[44] Comey said Trump on several occasions inquired whether there were an investigation into the President himself, and Comey replied each time there was not.[45] Comey states that Trump requested that he publicly declare this so that Trump's image could be improved, but Comey says he told the President he would need to have approval from the Attorney General's office for reasons of legality.[46] Comey recounted his final conversation with President Trump, on April 11, 2017:
On the morning of April 11, the President called me and asked what I had done about his request that I "get out" that he is not personally under investigation. I replied that I had passed his request to the Acting Deputy Attorney General, but I had not heard back. He replied that "the cloud" was getting in the way of his ability to do his job. He said that perhaps he would have his people reach out to the Acting Deputy Attorney General. I said that was the way his request should be handled. I said the White House Counsel should contact the leadership of DOJ to make the request, which was the traditional channel. He said he would do that and added, "Because I have been very loyal to you, very loyal; we had that thing you know." I did not reply or ask him what he meant by "that thing". I said only that the way to handle it was to have the White House Counsel call the Acting Deputy Attorney General. He said that was what he would do and the call ended.
That was the last time I spoke with President Trump. — James Comey [44]
On June 14 The Washington Post reported that Trump was being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for possible obstruction of justice relating to his actions in regard to the Russia investigation.[47]
Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors, by US Congressman Brad Sherman
Congressman Al Green announced, on June 7, 2017, that Congressman Brad Sherman would join with him in drafting articles of impeachment against President Trump.[1] Sherman said: "I'm not going to be deterred."[1] Green stated: "In the spirit of keeping the republic, I have concluded that the president has obstructed justice and in so doing, the remedy for obstruction of justice is impeachment. The president will not be indicted while he is in office, and while there is some merit in talking about the judicial process, the impeachment process is the one that will bring him before the bar of justice."[1]
Former United States Attorney Preet Bharara said in a June 11, 2017 interview with ABC News, "there's absolutely evidence to begin a case" regarding obstruction of justice by Trump.[48] Bharara went on to note, "No one knows right now whether there is a provable case of obstruction. [But] there's no basis to say there's no obstruction."[48]
On June 12, Sherman began circulating an article of impeachment among his colleagues.[2]

July 2017

On July 12, 2017, Congressman Sherman formally introduced in the House of Representatives an Article of Impeachment (H. Res. 438),[49] accusing the president of obstructing and impeding the investigation of justice, regarding the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.[50]
The Democrats in the House Judiciary committee demanded that hearings begin as soon as possible,[51] but the Republicans demurred, rewriting the request in favor of investigations into Hillary Clinton's emails.[citation needed]

August 2017

In August 2017, following controversial comments by Trump about the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, U.S. Representative Steve Cohen announced that he would introduce articles of impeachment because Trump had "failed the presidential test of moral leadership".[52][53]

October 2017

There was a brief debate about impeaching the president before a privileged resolution introduced by Representative Al Green was withdrawn.[54][55]

Representatives supporting Articles of Impeachment

Lawsuit strategy

Many of the lawsuits filed against Trump ask for declaratory relief. This remedy differs from injunctive relief (an order to do something or stop) and damages. A court's declaratory judgment compels no action; it simply resolves a legal question. A court may simply declare that a device does not infringe another's patent, for example. A declaration that the president has accepted emoluments would make the work of House Managers easier in an impeachment.[57] Blumenthal v. Trump asks for declaratory relief as to emoluments. In CREW and National Security Archive v. Trump and EOP, a declaratory finding that the administration willfully failed to retain records would support a charge of obstruction of justice.[58] Some observers think the emoluments cases are unlikely to go anywhere, for lack of standing.[59]

Symbolic municipal resolutions

City councils that have made formal resolutions calling for the impeachment of President Trump include those in the San Francisco Bay Area cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Oakland, and Richmond,[60][61][62] and the city of Los Angeles.[63] On the East Coast, the Cambridge, Massachusetts city council passed a policy order to support a House resolution to investigate Emoluments Clause conflicts.[64]

Public opinion on impeachment

Public opinion is a key factor in impeachment proceedings, as politicians including those in the United States House of Representatives look to opinion polls to assess the tenor of those they represent.[65][66][67] First and foremost action would have to be necessitated on the requisite legal groups for impeachment, with such action being more likely in the face of support from public opinion.[65][66][67]
Public Policy Polling reported that as of January 26, 2017, 35% of voters supported the impeachment of President Trump, with 50% opposed.[68] By the following week, after the controversial rollout of Executive Order 13769, which barred people from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the U.S., support for impeachment had grown to 40%.[69] The following week, support for impeachment reached 46%, matching opposition to impeachment.[70]
In May 2017, for the first time more Americans supported impeaching Trump (48%) than opposed impeaching Trump (41%), with 11% not sure.[71]. At the beginning of August 2017, one poll showed that number falling substantially with 53% of people being opposed to impeachment and 40% in favor, according to PRRI studies,[72] but by the end of August 2017, following political fallout from the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, 48% of people were again in favor of impeachment and 41% were opposed.[73]

Notes


  1. Some commentators have noted that a president can have his powers and duties suspended under the 25th Amendment of the Constitution. See: Under the 25th Amendment, the President would then appoint a Vice President designate, who would take office after confirmation by both houses of Congress. See: If Trump were impeached and convicted, the next people in the presidential line of succession are the Vice President, currently Mike Pence, then the Speaker of the House of Representatives, currently Paul Ryan, then the Senate president pro tempore, currently Orrin Hatch.
