This is why Trump deserves impeachment and removal from office.
1. Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. Governments derive “their just powers from the consent of the governed…” “Consent of the governed” and “just powers” of government are given by the people through free and fair elections.
2. Donald Trump has attacked free and fair elections and has undermined the ability of “we, the people” to determine our own leaders. He willfully used the power of the presidency to withhold necessary military aid to pressure the government of the Ukraine to secure help in his 2020 campaign. That’s abuse of power.
3. Then, when Trump was caught, he used the power of the presidency to obstruct legitimate congressional oversight and investigations by denying documents to congress and ordering his aides not to testify. That’s obstruction of congress.
4. Abuse of powers and obstruction of congress are “high crimes” and impeachable offenses. A “high crime” is an offense that only a president can commit because of the power of his office. The constitution leaves it to congress to determine what a high crime is.
5. Trump is attacking the basis of constitutional democracy on at least two levels: separation of powers and integrity of elections. No one is above the law. Trump believes he is. He is attempting to overturn the constitutional order.
