Impeachment Article VI

The United States House of Representatives, pursuant to the exclusive authority granted to it in Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution of the United States hereby specifies the following Articles of Impeachment of the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump,

Resolved:


Article VI: The President of the United States obstructed justice by requesting  officials within the Executive Branch remove the Special Counsel and requesting former Attorney General Jeff Sessions reverse his recusal from the investigation of espionage by a foreign power intended to illegally influence the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

*Witnesses at the Judiciary Committee's hearings, which featured Mr. John Dean former White House cousel who last testified before the Committee in 1974 and is an expert on Nixon's obstruction, testified that both of the cited instances constitute obstruction of justice that could be successfully prosecuted in a court of law, which has a much higher standard of evidence than an impeachment inquiry. Repugnant committee members reacted to Dean's testimony concerning the obvious similarities between Trump's obstruction and Nixon's by disparaging his veracity and reminding him he pleaded guilty to the crime of obstruction himself over forty years ago. One thousand US prosecutors have signed a letter saying that the actions of Donald Trump would be prosecuted if he were an ordinary citizen. Fortunately the founders provided a special court to determine the guilt or innocence of the occupant of the nation's highest public office: the Senate of the United States because no one is above the law.
