There is much debate on the web today about whether Donald Trump should be removed from office via impeachment or an invoking of the 25th amendment. I don't have much of an opinion on this. I just want him gone and it now looks like that'll happen without either of those things. I mean, it's possible he may handcuff himself to a doorknob in the West Wing and sing multiple choruses of "But I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" but I'd be surprised if he knows the song.
I am curious about the process of those two alternatives to just running out the clock and praying he doesn't order saturation bombing of CNN Headquarters. Word is that if he's impeached, he wants Rudy Giuliani to head up his defense team. Why would you even consider a guy who's steadfastly failed you and made you look like more of a failure than you already are? And if it all does go to an impeachment trial, might Giuliani not be a witness? A key witness?
Hey, let's all take a peek at the last sentence of Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution. It may become very relevant very soon, especially the part I've highlighted…
The President…shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
Lastly: Many of you have written to tell me that there might be a very simple reason that I've suddenly stopped getting Spam e-mails from Donald J. Trump and his loyal entourage. A number of companies, including one called Campaign Monitor which sends out Spam e-mails for people, have severed their ties with him. Yeah, that would sure explain it.
