Facts are he did these things, did not resign; because that would be counter to why he did these things, and the goal of impeachment is to prevent future office....regardless of what Fox is NOT telling everyone.We were told to STFU when Marion Barry ran for Mayor after being convicted for Crack. It’s the people’s choice if they want to elect that person. Right? People deserve the government they voted for, right?
Yeah. I think the founders intended this to be the case. The only thing in doubt, if we’re being honest, is that through impeachment they can prohibit officeholders from ever running again. Maybe some people should really be banned from that. But as a private citizen, can they do that?
If they can, it’s as much a bug in the system as it is a feature. It’s a handy political tool, if you have a big enough majority, to punish political opponents. If they can do this, then every congress, where there is an outgoing president of the opposing party, should just make it precedent to impeach and ban them from ever holding public office ever. Just because the other sucks. Nust because partisanship rules, just so that Kut may have the system he wants.
