This may interest you. Posted today. The Dow – Impeachment – Economic Confidence Model The Framers of the Constitution NEVER took into account that the impeachment process would be so abused in this manner. There was no HIGH CRIME or MISDEMEANOR that Trump committed. This claim that Trump sought foreign interference in the US election is really bogus. He asked them to “investigate” which if the FBI had asked it would not be an issue. He did not ask to make up something. Hillary paid to create the fake dossier by a foreign agent alleging acts in Russia. She actually did seek to interfere in the election and it was that dossier which then was used by the FBI to wiretap Trump’s campaign. That is Watergate stuff that forced Nixon to resign. I have been a real scholar of constitutional law. I have even had lawyers call me for my opinion. In law school, they teach you maybe a few weeks on the Constitution. The vast majority of laws are statutory which is really the meat and potatoes. Rarely do issues rise to the level of the Constitution because most laws are presumed to be constitutional and it is your burden to prove they are wrong. What this Impeachment of Trump has demonstrated is that the Founding Fathers never anticipated that politics would disintegrate in such a fashion. The oath the senators took to be “impartial” was a joke – nobody was for this was a partisan battle to the death of the Constitution. The Democrats know they cannot defeat Trump, so they themselves interfered with the 2020 election and tried to have him removed. After Clinton and Trump impeachments, as a constitutional scholar, these impeachments demonstrate that because the Founding Fathers never defined what constitutes a HIGH CRIME or MISDEMEANOR, it has allowed the process to be abused. This Trump Impeachment to me was the deathblow to the Constitution and any possible hope of a fair, impartial, and reasonable democracy from here on out. 5 U.S.C. 3331: “An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services shall take the following oath: ‘I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.’” 5 U.S.C. 3333: “…an individual who accepts office or employment in the Government of the United states…shall execute an affidavit within 60 days after accepting the office or employment that his acceptance and holding of the office or employment does not or will not violate section 7311 of this title. The affidavit is prima facie evidence that the acceptance and holding of office or employment by the affiant does not or will not violate section 7311 of this title.” 5 U.S.C. 7311 (1): “An individual may not accept or hold a position in the Government of the United States of the government of the District of Columbia if he (1) advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government…” 18 U.S.C. 1918: “Whoever violates the provisions of section 7311 of title 5 that an individual may not accept or hold a position in the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia if he (1) advocates the overthrow of our constitutional form of government [and] shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year and a day or both.” Executive Order 10450
