Are we becoming inured to Presidential overreach and the selective reading of the Constitution? When Clinton and Obama were in the Oval Office, the Republicans constantly railed against them for Presidential over-reach in trying to help people and the environment. Today’s over-reach is immoral and unconstitutional.
We have three separate but equal branches of government. Congress’s fisical responsibility is to raise revenue and to decide how to spend it. Once the President signed the bill it becomes law. A President can move money around with an approval of Congress’ leadership. This President has repeatedly moved money around without any approval. That’s unconstitutional and impeachable.
Giving preference to a county, organization or person who is staying in a hotel or resort owned by a President is clear violation of the emoluments law. Trump has done this repeatedly and boasted about it. He quadrupled the membership price at his new legal residence in Florida when he was elected. Taxpayers have to pay for his rooms and space for government bodyguards now and as long as he lives at his resort!
His constant lying, immoral behavior, and boasting about doing things he didn’t do sets a new low for an office we used to tell our children to aspire to. Schools suspend students for this behavior. As reprehensible as it is, it isn’t a crime. Removing a President from office for these mental aberrations is for voters.
The onus on removing Trump from office will fall on senators, some of whom voted Clinton guilty for lying about having relations with Monica Lewinsky. Let’s see if their moral values, oath of office, and patriotism are as strong now as they claimed during the Clinton trial!
