Article I: Remove This Beast From My Sight!

House Democrats are impeaching President Trump because they don’t like him. They have run through faulty reason after faulty reason in a desperate search for an excuse, any excuse, to undo the election of 2016 and a probable repeat in 2020.

Ann Coulter  "In the history of politics, there is no precedent for the media’s entire focus to be on undoing the last presidential election.
"True, the left has wanted to impeach every Republican president, but at least they used to wait a decent interval between the inauguration and concocting some preposterous “impeachable offense.”
"With Trump, it’s never been about anything he’s done. It’s him they can’t stand. The technical grounds for their impeachment is: REMOVE THIS MONSTER FROM MY SIGHT!
"The left has gone from “literally shaking” on election night 2016, to “literally shaking” at Trump firing the FBI director (a.k.a. “his employee”), to “literally shaking” at Trump engaging in foreign policy.
"On cable news, they’re still talking about Trump’s “Russia, if you’re listening” joke.
"U.S. media: Proud not to get a joke.
"The media pretend the president engaging in standard foreign policy is a big constitutional crisis. It is, but not the way they mean.
"As explained in the seminal book on impeachment, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case Against Bill Clinton, impeachment is not for policy disputes. That’s why, in any five-minute span on cable TV, you will hear someone say that James Madison expressly rejected “maladministration” as a ground for impeachment at the Constitutional Convention. Otherwise, he said, “so vague a term” would mean the president could serve only at “the pleasure of the Senate.” . . .
