As the House Democrats prepare to move into the next and probably final phase of their impeachment inquiry, they will inform the public what it means to commit "high crimes and misdemeanors" deserving removal from high public office. The evidence against #45 is already clear and convincing; #45 knew about the whistle-blower complaint before he released the military aid to Ukraine. Investigators have decided to move quickly rather than wait for the legal delaying tactics of the regime to play out in court. The America public now has the chance to consider the gravity of the current occupant's abuse of power and violation of his oath to defend the Constitution against "all enemies foreign, and domestic". His obstruction of justice, obstruction of Congress, violation of his oath of office, abuse of power and bribery of a foreign government to influence another election constitute more than just impeachable offenses, but a fundamental betrayal of this nation's system of governance.
When he is brought before the bar of the Senate, it would not be an overstatement to say that republican government is in the balance. #45 is a dangerous tyrant in the becoming; his unprincipled trouble making has further eroded the credibility of our political institutions. If he survives in office after a partisan nullification of the Articles of Impeachment, there is a forum of last resort in which to save representative government: the American people voting in a free and fair election conducted without the interference of foreign powers. This is a fitting culmination to the process of removing a president who has little regard for the rule of law, and desires to replace it with the rule of one man above the law. When asked by an onlooker at the Philadelphia convention what kind of government would there be in the former colonies, Dr. Franklin answered, "A republic, madam, if you can keep it." No more prescient words were spoken by a founding father. History has now found US.
