    The clause regarding impeachment is not specific by design. Much of the constitution is like that. The founders were not clairvoyant and couldn't cover every future detail, so they left much up to judicial interpretation for future generations. Also, Thomas Jefferson himself one said that the document should be rewritten every 20 years or so.

    https://news.illinois.edu/view/6367...ce that most,what the document should contain.

    (That's a weird link, please let me know if it doesn't work.)

    Either you understood the article I linked and are just being obdurate about semantics, or you still don't understand that an indictable crime does not have to occur and be specified in an Article of Impeachment.

    I can suggest further reading by constitutional scholars, but I fear I'd be wasting my time. It's up to you.

    Long-term care facilities received vaccines. Yes, people have gotten vaccines, but more often than not the sites are set up, yet have no vaccines to give. I'm glad to hear yours went well....at Walmart of all places. =)

    They have had excess that they have had to discard and some providers getting in trouble because instead of throwing them away they gave them out first-come-first serve. Yes 78 Walmart's in my state are giving them out and Walgreens and CVS starting. I get all my prescriptions and vaccines at my local Walmart why the "of all places"? And as I said I could have scheduled one at a local university hospital or any of 3 drive-through/walkups. Vaccines are still limited to 65 and older or younger with a predisposed condition. When they open it up to everyone the rate of vaccinations will go up even more.

    Without meaning any criticism or slight to you, the Constitution "says what it says". The English with which it was written may be a bit more elegant than the halting, vague gush we Americans use so often today, but the document is still quite clear and understandable.

    The method by which we 'interpret' what the Constitution actually means (a HIGHLY controversial and potentially-dangerous area) is relegated to the Supreme Court, and, because citizens have the the right to AMEND the Constitution, to us (27 Amendments so far....).

    But I've always been somewhat skeptical about the greatly diverse, and often conflicting, opinions of "constitutional scholars" regarding what the Constitution means. And as far as any whimsical Jeffersonian musing about re-writing the Constitution every twenty years goes -- just for the hell of it -- I'd reply --
