post your impeachment questions here

..the impeachment trial starts tomorrow

everybody on both sides are well aware it will be mostly political theater

but at some point there will be questions asked and answered by witnesses

will trump have any witnesses on behalf of his defense??

and how many witnesses will the democrats have??

so here is the topic of this thread..

you can ask each side ONE question..and One question only

what would your ONE question be to each side??

here is mine

for the democrats..other than banning trump from holding office again
what is the purpose of this trail??

for the trump witnesses...if the rally trump held on january 6th was not meant to start an insurrection,
what was the purpose of the rally??

it will be fun to watch the trial and see questions asked and answered both here and on TV...

 

I don't think banning Trump from holding office again is the Democrats purpose. They will if they get a chance, but they know it's unlikely. Politically, banning Trump would benefit Republicans more. The political purpose, in my opinion, is the same as of the previous impeachment: to show that the Democratic Party is the only one of the major parties that still holds this to be true, and allow people to identify which Republicans put their partisan interests before their country's. And the non-political purpose is to try to help prosecutors make a legal case against Trump.

 

and what question would you ask of each witness if allowed??

 

Yours works for me. But that depends on who those witnesses are. I can't even think what witnesses Trump's attorneys could bring that would not be detrimental to their case. Only one I can think of is to bring Dershowitz to try to make his case again that a President can do whatever the hell he wants. But I doubt they'll do that when there is a Democratic President in office.

 

I would ask "Do you believe that we are a nation of laws, because, if you do, why should we overlook the egregious and dangerous behavior of ANY person(s) who took an oath for public office to follow the Constitution of our nation?"

Edited to add: Presidential Oath of Office

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

 

I thought the House managers don't plan to call witnesses.

 

at some point there MAY be witnesses from each side..

if you could ask each side one question what would that question be ??

 

When this second impeachment attempt fails, and it will, what then will the left do in their continued butthurt of Donald Trump winning in 2016?

 

Questions to be asked of the prosecution:

1. President Trump called upon the protestors to march "Peacefully and Patriotically" to the Capital. So, how can that be called inciting a riot?

2. If calling for a rally, and having it get out of control is a crime, then why hasn't Democrat members of Congress that have given verbal support of ANTIFA and BLM been charged with the crime of inciting a riot?

3. Why go forward with the kangaroo court when the conclusion is already set? Why waste the time and money?

4. How loud is the DNC going to whine when the GOP gains control of the House and Senate in 2022 and use the Democrat's tactics against them?

 

I guess math is not your strong suit

amd what question would you have for the defense??

 

For the prosecution.
What exactly did you think Trump meant when he told his supporters they needed to fight to save America?

 

Care to explain your ridiculous statement? I have asked no questions that are based on numeric equations.

I have no questions for the Defense. The entire trial is unconstitutional, and is based on a single impeachment case that took place in 1876. The decision on whether or not it is Constitutional someone after they have left office is based on a Congressional ruling not a Supreme Court Decision. In the US, decisions on constitutionality rests with the SCOTUS and not with the Congress. When Rand Paul questioned the constitutionality of Impeaching a President, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy stated that Paul's argument has merit. So, there is no reason to ask questions of the defense during a Democrat kangaroo court political exercise.

 

Yep. That would be my question too, along with saving America from what exactly?

 

above is a quote from my original topic

and your reply was number 1 through 4...1 2 3 4

it is great reading replies from constitutional scholars..

 

Well, sometimes one question does not quite cover it. Every single question is valid. So, sue me!!!
