Making my debate points in our impeachment debate, since i have abuse of authority. but this is a central tenet of what james madison, hamilton, mason, said about the importance of the impeachment provision and why you would remove a sitting president without an election, goes to the degree to which theyre undermining the country. andrew johnson was the first impeachment process. it was for abuse of power. it was for, in this instance we would translate that to your point about brand, weakness t...
