Trump Impeachment (On the Motion to Table)

Paul's point is constitutionally unassailable. The Constitution states, "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." Yet as of January 20, when Joe Biden was sworn in as president, Trump was a private citizen to whom the impeachment power does not apply.

Trump Impeachment

Trump had not committed any crime — much less "high Crimes and Misdemeanors" (the constitutional standard for impeachment).

H.R. 24 Passed 232 to 201 on 01/13/2021 See Article I Section 2, Article I Section 3, and Article II Section 4

Impeachment (Article I – Abuse of Power)

We oppose. In his actions on Ukraine, Trump did not commit "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors," the constitutional requirement for impeaching and removing a president or other U.S. "civil officer." The House presented no evidence of any "high crimes." Trump was accused of withholding aid from Ukraine, but the aid was provided. Also, there is no crime in making a request to investigate Hunter Biden and Burisma, as was alleged.

H.Res. 755 Roll Call 33 Rejected 48 to 53 on 02/05/2020 See Article I Section 2, Article I Section 3, Article II Section 1, Article II Section 3, and Article II Section 4

Impeachment (Article II – Obstruction of Congress)

We oppose. The "obstruction of Congress" charge does not rise to the level of the "high crimes and misdemeanors" for which a president may be impeached and removed. There is uncontestable truth to the charge: Trump did direct the executive branch to ignore subpoenas issued by highly partisan, pro-impeachment House committees. What is contested is whether a president may constitutionally ignore such subpoenas. But that is an issue for the federal judiciary, not impeachment, to decide.
