President Donald Trump Impeached For Obstruction Of Congress | MSNBC
ARTICLE II: OBSTRUCTION OF CONGRESS
In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Donald J. Trump has directed the unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of subpoenas issued by the House of Representatives pursuant to its “sole Power of Impeachment”. President Trump has abused the powers of the Presidency in a manner offensive to, and subversive of, the Constitution.
In the history of the Republic, no President has ever ordered the complete defiance of an impeachment inquiry or sought to obstruct and impede so comprehensively the ability of the House of Representatives to investigate “high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. This abuse of office served to cover up the President’s own repeated misconduct and to seize and control the power of impeachment—and thus to nullify a vital constitutional safeguard vested solely in the House of Representatives.
In all of this, President Trump has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore, President Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. President Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
Article II, Section 4, says the president “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
So shall it be written, so shall it be done..
@Logan Carey not even a democrat. Just keeping it simple.
@Jamedra A hmmmmmm ok
@Jamedra A wow. At least you acknowledge it was just opinion, not fact.
@steve durrant isn’t that what jurors give…Their opinion based on what’s presented. I agree with this decision. If this were Bush, Clinton, the other Bush, Obama…. I would still agree with their decision.
Cheers! 🍻 if Donald Trumps “tax cuts” and trade wars didn’t affect me, I would’ve bought you all a beer already
You’re lucky, his “tax cuts” raised my taxes.
Lol me too
Nancy was straining every muscle in her face up there to stop herself from grinning like a Cheshire Cat 🤣🤣🤣
@governmentcheese411 Article One of the United States Constitution gives the House of Representatives the sole power of impeachment and the Senate the sole power to try impeachments. No criminal court has any jurisdiction over the impeachment process, not even the Supreme Court… dude, I’m not even a Yank and I know that 😄
Pelosi is not some champion here. She barely did anything the last few years and she wouldn’t have done anything if the rest of them didn’t keep pressing her
@Marius Thefaker lol… clearly no one is gonna take the democraps claim to impeachment away. i meant that it looks like the supreme court will hear trumps case. and thus may rule that the so-called charges made by the dems are not valid. furthermore, that the dems move for impeachment will NOT be upheld in the senate. it’s not about the impeachment anyways. it is and always has been about removing trump, period. and that is clearly not gonna happen. and the democraps failed monumentally.
so you can haggle over words all day long. the end game for the dems was never to get a piece of paper that says impeachment on it. which is all they have. and all they’ll ever get, period.
#NancyHoldsTheCardsNow 😏
THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS “Obstruction Of Congress”… ARE DEMOCRATS REALLY THIS DENSE???
I guess Nancy walked the dog tonight.
Nancy is the tail.
hello handsome
Right? Fake Democrats just took it doggy style. Looks like they (and fake news) just elected Trump for 2020!
Congrats to Trump!
He finally got the popular vote 😂🤣😂🤣
@Bartimaeus Neverwhere well democrats have killed more babies than hitler, and hitler committed those murders by dehumanizing jews. Now what do democrats have to say about unborn babies I wonder? 😉
😆😆😆👍🏻
MERRY IMPEACHMAS, EVERYONE!! 🎄🇺🇲🎄
🎉👍😁👍🎉
Can tRump be impeached again for a second time come Nov. 2020?
euphoricful Fool😂
@Olyv Oyl if he removed from the office the odd of that will be slim
@steve durrant not necessarily it would have to go to the senate for them to make that decision
Good Job Tulsi, now you’ve proved your loyalty to the GOP. Do you want to run for President now on the GOP’s ticket? Trump’s out and Fox News is hiring too.
@Lex K Yeah but she’s still trash. Even the Devil knows scripture.
@Stephen The13th the devil doesn’t exist. Nor do any gods.
Tulsi Gabbard comes off life a robot.
???? Trump is out? out where? are you stupid?
Here’s a little minor adjustment on a misstatement regarding, “crowd-size,” which is: There were more people who showed up for donald john trump’s Impeachment. (Impeachment-auguration).

Hi, how are you?
Wow, these banners on the bottom of the screen are so dramatic but necessary. It’s bright red, taking up a quarter of the screen, a new font never shown before.
Why does the first woman look like she holds the rally of the hunger games lol
Hahaha – good one. Let the games begin !!!! Is Schiff the guy that died of the cocaine overdose?
Now let’s impeach The Electonic log book 📚
Sad day for America great day for GLOBAL NEW WORLD ORDER
Pelosi went Cersei Lannister on that outfit.
_”You’re fired!”_
@United Federation of KFC
WOW. Grow up kid. And pay some bills. You’re probably 47 living in mom’s basement but are 13 in mind. GET LAID. And support the REPUBLIC.
@Los Critics Supreme I’m big dumb dumb. Stop hurting my extremely primitive brain.
@United Federation of KFC you are correct. The Republicans wasted all that time as well with bill Clinton. This is real, would you rather have pence or Trump? Pence has radical conservative views on certain issues. You can’t say Trump hasn’t done anything the liberals have wanted someone to do. He was just rude about it, and comes off racist. The only reason Dems and liberals have an issue with the wall now is, because he made it come across as being racist. So people tie his wall with race. doesn’t mean we don’t need something for border protection. Y’all (Dems and liberals) agreed to 750 miles of wall back in the late 2000s. This whole impeachment was a waste of time. What is going to happen has already been written by someone else. Do you really think that Trump calls the shots. Both sides work for the same team.
@United Federation of KFC what they want to happen is happening. How do you take down a country. First step is to divide the country. What is going on now. Second step is probably going to be a huge disaster to cause panic and fear. Third step is to let it play out and then step in to clean up the mess and rebuild. It only makes sense. And that is also another way to deal with population control which is gonna become an issue. Read about the Georgia guide stone. Things are already determined and being executed. We are merely pawns on a huge chess board. I mean that figuratively and literally because the Earth is flat like a chess board in a sense.
@Madison shanks I can say that as a liberal I’m fine with border protection but not a wall. It’s not racists to deport illegal immigrants (maybe a little racy to straight up say their Mexicans, when the majority come from SA, but nothing to major). I dont want to change the subject to the wall but, in as short as I can make it, increase border security, stop giving border patrol hand-me-downs, and revise visas (as a large portion of illegals simply fly to the states). There are also other things that I (I dont speak for Liberals and I dont want you assuming such) disagree with other then the border wall. Like leaving the Iran Deal, the trade war against a country whose people’s are essentially drones and can handle the sanctions, etc, etc.
No I agree and disagree that dems and republicans are going for the same side. Both wants what’s “best” for the country but yell and throw fecies at each other on how to do it.
Now let’s impeach the rest of the government.
LMAO LMAO
Exactly
John Brown Agreed
Stephen The13th Agreed
Vineh Your right, we don’t. But with the government’s so called justice. There might. You saw what happened in Ukraine.
the blinded trumplican party will pay, and pay dearly in the years ahead due to their pledge to party over country & constitution. And so it is written.
Family Castro from Cuba is laughing very loudly !!
Get rid off the atomic weapens !!!👽😎👮♂️
Nancy never looked so happy in her entire political career. She had that “Look what I accomplished” face.
TheClimb511 she looks like a witch smiling and pulling the strings of her minions. They cut the audio and video of her holding up her hand and stopping her team from screaming with excitement.
TheClimb511 Or maybe I told you so?
China has told them to impeach the president before Christmas.. they do exactly what they have been told ..
