James Madison warned us that Trump is dangerously un-American

Nope. No vote is required. It’s not anywhere in the constitution, or the house rules that a house vote must take place before an impeachment inquiry. Sorry. And it doesn’t have to be the judiciary committee.

 

I have already provided the House website saying otherwise

 

No you haven’t. Nothing you cited states the house must hold a vote. Sorry.

 

I’ve provided the House website for you before. I can’t help it you ignore it.


This has been established

 

And nothing in the website states a vote must be held. I can’t help that you keep making false statements.

 

Yeah it did and the committee that has jurisdiction.

 

Neither are in the website you cited, because no vote is required. Sorry.

 

Haha wow yeah it was. This is sad and comical all at the same time

 

Madison also favored impeachment as a defense against a President who had been bought by foreign powers. He personally preferred that the power of impeaching a President be given to the Supreme Court. There was general agreement that "malpractice or neglect of duty" should be the broad standard, though it lacked definition. They agreed on "treason, bribery or corruption." Mason suggested adding "maladministration," whereby Madison - arguing the term was too vague - suggested replacing maladministration (or malfeasance) with "high crimes and misdemeanors." ["The Framers' Coup: The Making of the United States Constitution," by Michael J. Klarman, Oxford University Press, 2016, page 237]. At the time (1787), "high crimes" was a reference to crimes committed by those in "high office." Misdemeanors was not yet in general use as defined today as "minor crimes." Basically, most constitutional scholars agree that "high crimes and misdemeanors" is a phrase to be defined by the vote of 2/3rds of the Senate, in conjunction with the accusations of the House, in their bill of impeachment. And, the Constitution offers no appeal process from that judgement.

 

Haha no it wasn’t. This is sand and comical watching you make demonstrably false claims, that numerous other people have also called you out for. Lol

 

People that haven’t read the House’s website that I have repeatedly provided.

 

If ANYBODY is "Committing TREASON" it is TRUMP.

 

No, people that did read it and noted it doesn’t contain any rule stating the house must hold a vote.

 

A Complete MISCHARACTERIZATION of what actually occurred.

I would recommend Google.

 

trump isn’t anti-American as he represents perfectly about a third of our fellow Americans.

We do have to determine if this is the direction of the country the people want however.
Polls are indicating it isn’t.

 

What was mischaracterized? Be specifc

 

Um yeah it does and I quoted it for you. Face it, no vote, wrong committee...no impeachment.

It’s simply a sad, secret, oversight hearing, where shifty is keeping material from the gop and public view so he can use “parody” to spread misinformation.

 

If I need to explain, you wouldn't understand.

Once again, I would refer you to Google.

Carry on and have a nice day.

 

Nope. Nothing you’ve quoted states a vote is needed for an inquiry. This is reality. Sorry.

This is demonstrably false. There is no secret hearing. Republicans can and are participating.

 

Well I guess you had issues reading my quotes and the link

Nope, according to new report shifty is not sharing documents and materials.

 

Not at all. That’s why myself and others have pointed out your quotes and link don’t support your claim. It’s just reality.

Nope. Republicans can and have been participating, as they are committee members.

 

Good review. I would alter a couple of things. The meaning of the phrase high crimes and misdemeanors was actually high crimes and high misdemeanors. Crimes and misdemeanors meant the same thing back then; as you said misdemeanors did not then have the connotation of lesser crimes. However, I disagree with your definition of "high." High meant extremely important, like egregious crimes against the United States or its people. High meaning high office would be redundant since impeachment applies only to high level officers.

 

It appears from you not retaining the information that you in fact do have issues in that regard.

Not according to the members themselves

 

Hey! The old tried and true nyah, nyah, nyah argument.

 

Nope. It’s why numerous other people have also pointed out your quotes don’t support your claim. Sorry.

No committee member has been prevented from participating.
