US President Donald Trump impeachment drive could reach a
destination Today (Wednesday), with reports showing that this will be marked as
the ultimate rebuke to a President who has tried to reinterpret the
Constitution.
According to CNN, Trump impeachment is instigated by his
actions including his stretch to the boundaries of American politics and
attempted to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign help for his
reelection campaign.
Should Trump be impeached, he will enjoy stay in office
since his party holds a chamber of Congress, making the odds of his removal
even longer.
No impeached President has ever been removed from office,
although Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached, report CNN.
Another possible outcome of the President impeachment could
harm the image of his party, making it impossible to win the next election.
“No party of an impeached President has ever won the White
House in the next presidential election.”
Examples of impeachment trials in the US have been
culminated by the president’s efforts to go against certain constitutional clause.
Democrat Andrew Johnson, who was standing in the way of a
fairer Reconstruction, fell into an impeachment trap set by his political
opponents, but was saved from removal by Republicans who defected.
Nixon, a Republican, tried to use the federal government
against his political rivals and resigned after losing support from his own
party.
Democrat Bill Clinton lied to a grand jury about his affair
with an intern but kept hold of his own party and won over some Republicans in
the Senate.
Republican Trump used taxpayer dollars to pressure a foreign
leader to investigate his political rival, but has benefited from the
unwavering support of Senate Republicans.
