Congress has an obligation to impeach presidents that break the law. Its like a cop should still arrest a criminal even if the mob boss can get them off and back on the street in hours.
Or what? What happens if congress doesn't remove him? There is zero reason for the Republicans to go along with this since Trump is giving them everything they want
What do you mean or what? As I said its like the cop who arrests the criminal who skates but arrests him again if he catches him in a crime and again and again. He is obligated to. Congress is obligated to impeach presidents that break the law. Others can vote against it but he is breaking the law an impeachment was put into the constitution to handle the situation. Even if corruption elsewhere in the government can stop it from working.
It's been shown to be absolutely meaningless since Nixon. And i bet he regrets resigning in whatever special hell was reserved for him. Every impeachment vote/proceeding has been am absolute joke. There is no actual mechanism to boot the president out of office if he refuses.
Edit: sorry i completely dodged your original question. Congress has to begin an impeachment process or what? There is mo actual consequence for anyone who chooses not to
It was due to a concentrated effort at establishing FOX, et al as propaganda sources, that have enabled him to get away with such blatant criminality that Nixon couldn't have dreamed of. Republicans set out specifically to prevent them having to do that ever again, knowing full well they'd be committing crimes in higher office in the future.
again it does not matter. they have an onus. just like the cop. impeachment was put in to use for problems like this and the onus is there regardless of if it works. They still need to do it. Similarly its an abuse of power to impeach when not warranted or on a technicality like clintons.
