Impeachment

Impeachment case bears regional divide.

Metro Manila residents are increasingly inclined to convict and remove Vice President Sara Duterte from office, while a majority of respondents in Mindanao favor her acquittal, reflecting a widening regional divide over her impeachment, an OCTA research survey showed.

The survey, conducted from September 28 to October 4, found that support for conviction in the National Capital Region rose to 34% from 19% in July, while support for acquittal fell to 17% from 21%.

Estimates for the National Capital Region, Balance Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao have margins of error of plus or minus 6 percentage points.

The fieldwork coincided with Senate impeachment proceedings on allegations that Duterte acquired unexplained wealth.

The court was hearing Article 2 of the Articles of Impeachment, which concerned her alleged unexplained wealth, corporate ties and undeclared assets.

The survey was completed before the prosecution announced on October 13 that it would drop three of the four impeachment articles and proceed on Article 2 alone.

It therefore does not reflect public reaction to that development or subsequent proceedings.

THE BORDER STAYS CLOSED, THE TAX CUTS STAY IN PLACE, AND THE JUDGES KEEP GETTING CONFIRMED.

LOSE THEM, AND WE ALREADY KNOW WHAT'S COMING, RIGHT? INVESTIGATIONS, SUBPOENAS, IMPEACHMENT TALK, TWO YEARS OF TRYING TO STOP THE PRESIDENT FROM DOING THE JOB THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ELECTED HIM TO DO.

THAT'S WHAT HE'S FIGHTING FOR.

NOT HIMSELF.

That's what happens when you worship the devil

Yeah He's trying to paint it red Believe me It's been argued that self pardons Violate the take care clause Impeachment structures in due process.

Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution annotated grants broad powers to issue federal pardons with only one explicit exception, cases of impeachment.

Some other important limits that apparently this guy, I mean, he's only supposed to be the president.

Yeah.

And so that was really our thinking with the Impeach the Quack campaign, right? Like, we wanted to lean into that, like, comedic sort of relief, like, make a joke of what's happening because it is so ridiculous.

Like, it's so-

Yeah

Prosecutors have charged Watson with violating them when he participated in a news conference calling for Trump to be removed from office over his launching of military actions against Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela without congressional authorization.

After the speech, Watson, stood on the Capitol steps holding a sign that reads, Impeach, Convict, Remove, and was arrested after he refused to move.

Before charged, he did an interview and continued to speak out.

He accused Trump of flagrantly violating the Constitution and breaking the law.

Yes, yeah.

Impeachment in American History.

John Meacham wrote on President Andrew Johnson.

Tim Naftali wrote on Richard Nixon.

Peter Baker wrote on Bill Clinton.

And Jeffrey Engel wrote on the Constitution and Donald Trump.

So that is in the book titled Impeachment.

Yeah.

Likelihood, I don't think so.

I don't think Trump is going to make any deals to avoid impeachment, for instance.

I'm not saying he's going to welcome Impeachment.

Most people would be humiliated by it and hate the whole process.

He'll figure out a way to make the most of it.
