    I wonder will any such motion be as successful as the democrat failed impeachment attempt?

    Trump didn't commit voter fraud. He corrected an error before voting.

    making a false registration is voter fraud

    He was impeached though, no?

    An honest mistake is not a crime... unless you are Trump or worked on his campaign, apparently.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    Has any president ever been successfully impeached?

    using honest in relation to anything trump does is laughable. like pretty much everything you post.

    Clearly not an honest mistake. a deliberate attempt to commit voter fraud. Probably thought by getting away with it he could prove mail in ballots were a problem. All he proved is how well the system catches fraudsters.

    Nixon, was, wasn't he? Assuming you mean removed from office, but maybe he resigned.


  • Registered Users Posts: 83,611 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    Nixon, was, wasn't he?

    No actually. Nixon resigned prior to the House deciding on articles.

    This was necessary to get pardoned by Gerald Ford. A POTUS can't pardon someone from impeachment.

    He was impeached, correct, but the motion to remove him from office failed.

    As with Clinton.

    Yeah, isn’t that a hoot... Nixon resigned before Congress could vote to remove him for doing far less than Obama did in spying on the opposing political campaign. You’d think with Biden’s involvement in the shady campaign spying, he’d just sulk away in shame. But no. Apparently Joe has little to no values.

    Tell that to these people
    An honest mistake also lies at the heart of the most notorious voter fraud prosecution of the past decade. In 2016, Crystal Mason believed she was allowed to vote: She had served prison time for a felony conviction for filing false tax returns but was out on supervised release. Mason didn’t realize that, unlike many states, Texas does not restore felons’ voting rights until they’ve completed a probationary period. She cast a provisional ballot that was never even counted. Attorney General Ken Paxton—who frequently lobs false claims of voter fraud—charged her anyway. Mason was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison.

    He'll be flogging it in five years time. The travesty of the Obama administration not being charged etc. It'll be just like the lack of grounds to lock Clinton up etc

    Well its seem you too have little to no values, consdiering you call yourself a Christian and claim your bible is under attack yet you defend everything about a serial adulterer and con man who doesnt know one passage from your precious bible.

    So dont preach about others if you cant practice

    Impeachment is little more than a House political process. The democrat controlled House could have impeached Trump because they somehow thought the color of his tie was offensive. Obstruction of Congress???? There is no such thing. If a president is perceived to be obstructing some congressional effort then Congress goes to the courts for a ruling. That is the way it has always been when every president did what Trump did, and worse. It is the Senate vote on impeachment and removal from office that makes it a legal matter.

    So you are not a Christian or Jew but are very concerned about how the bible is being attacked and religious freedoms of these people are being eroded by the "radical left"

    My mistake so. You are just a good citizen who cares about citizens rights in the constitution :rolleyes:
