CMV: We should not impeach Donald trump.

Political Alignment: Liberal Democrat

Ok, so just so we're clear on impeachment: it will not remove the president from office. That would require 2/3rds of the Senate's approval. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but the number of twitter comments not distinguishing between impeachment and conviction has me a bit worried.

The thing is, impeachment in election season is highly risky. It's likely that if Donald Trump is impeached, he'll get re-elected in 2020, and now we have to live under that nightmare until 2024.


Ok, so up until this point I've been assuming impeachment won't constitute removal from office. But let's change that. Say the Republican senators are tired of Trump, and vote to remove him from office. We now have president Mike Pence. And he is a *Hardline* conservative. And we can't impeach him too, because Republicans won't have a President Nancy Pelosi.

I am open to change, though. There's something to be said for the moral duty by the house. 

Change my view!

Impeachment is a legal process. It's a consequence of wrong doing. It's not a political strategy and shouldn't be treated as such. If the President has committed an impeachable offense, it is the duty of the House to impeach the President. And then, completely separate from the duties of the House, it's the duty of the Senate to vote for removal. Their job has no impact on the duty of the House to do their part. 

The politcal fallout from this, on either side, will fall as it may. But it shouldn't be the reason for impeachment. That would be dirty politics.
