This Article of mine, is due from a great deal of
my Readers / Subscribers / Followers, & Fans
including other Attorneys, asking me about "impeachment"
surrounding President Trump, & if what is currently
happening to him, by Congress, is proper &/or legal.
In order for me to be able to correctly answer that,
it would mean that I am even agreeing that what they
are doing, is actually "impeachment" - which it is Not.
At least Not in any official capacity.
They are doing a number of hodge-podge maneuvers
- having different "hearings", questioning people,
making telephone calls, perhaps even so-called "investigations"
- some of which may be considered, in their own way,
&/or, as they think, to be appropriate,
however, they are Not what is legally construed as what
Impeachment procedures are.
The word &/or term "impeachment"
refers to the legal process that takes place
when charges are brought against a public official, to determine whether he or she can and should be removed from office.
Contrary to popular belief,
impeachment is not the actual removal from office, but the procedure that must be followed
in order to achieve such a removal.
If the trial that occurs following impeachment results in a conviction, the official is removed from office. To explore this concept, consider the following impeachment definition.
What is Impeachment ?
It is a process that takes place
in order to determine
whether a public official can be removed from office
after being accused of a wrongdoing.
Each country around the globe has laws
that address the process of impeachment.
These laws specify
which public officials are subject to impeachment,
the legislative body allowed to
initiate impeachment proceedings,
and how many votes are required
to convict the official, for removal from office.
Generally speaking,
only legislative entities have the authority
to impeach public officials. In the United States,
impeachment can be undertaken at both the
federal and state levels, though it is a rare occurrence.
Impeachment is usually used
only when crimes are committed
by the individual in question,
- not for questions of mismanagement of the office
or public disapproval.
The Impeachment Process.
Before an official can be impeached,
certain steps must be followed.
The impeachment process ensures
the case is reviewed fairly,
and that the rights
of the official facing impeachment are preserved.
The impeachment process
involves three main bodies,
the House of Representatives,
the House Judiciary Committee,
and the Senate.
Steps in the Impeachment Process
Impeachment Resolution.
When members of
the House of Representatives make
impeachment resolutions,
they are turned over
to the House Judiciary Committee.
The Committee decides
whether or not the allegations
made against the official warrant
a full investigation,
and formal impeachment inquiry.
Formal Impeachment Inquiry.
On recommendation
of the House Judiciary Committee,
the House of Representatives votes
on a formal impeachment inquiry.
A simple majority vote is all that is needed
for approval Investigation.
If the inquiry is approved,
the matter goes back
to the House Judiciary Committee,
which begins an investigation to determine
whether there is sufficient evidence
to issue articles of impeachment.
This is similar in nature
to a Grand Jury indictment.
If so, the Committee drafts
articles of impeachment
by outlining specific charges,
according to the evidence acquired.
The Committee then votes on each
article of impeachment,
to determine whether each should be referred
to the House of Representatives for a full vote.
Vote by House of Representatives.
If the committee refers any
articles of impeachment,
the House of Representatives
votes on whether the articles warrant
a Senate trial.
Once again, a simple majority vote is needed.
Impeachment.
If the House approves one or more
articles of impeachment,
then the official is officially impeached,
which is similar to being “charged”
with a wrongdoing,
and the matter goes to the Senate.
The House of Representatives then appoints
certain members of Congress to act as managers of the trial, similar to “prosecutors.”
Impeachment Trial.
Impeachment trials are held before
the Senate,
with the Chief Justice
of the U.S. Supreme Court presiding.
The official may be represented
by anyone he chooses.
The trial process is similar to an actual trial,
in a courtroom setting,
with questioning of witnesses,
and presentation of evidence.
The senators must remain quiet,
but may direct questions by sending them
in writing to the Chief Justice.
Deliberation. After viewing all of the evidence,
hearing testimony,
and listening to closing arguments,
the Senate retires to private chambers
to deliberate
.Vote.
After reaching a decision on the matter,
the Senate returns to open session,
where it votes in public
whether to convict or acquit the official.
A vote to convict must be
by a two-thirds majority,
which is 67 senators.
Removal from Office.
If the required majority vote
convicts the official,
then he or she is removed from office.
This vote by the senate is final,
and the official has no right of appeal.
Federal Impeachment.
The
United States,
Congress has reserved the power to impeach
for very extreme cases.
The House of Representatives has only initiated
impeachment proceedings 64 times since the late 1700s.
Out of those 64 cases,
only 19 actual impeachments took place,
and 8 of these officials were removed from office
as a result.
The most recent impeachment proceedings
were brought against Thomas Porteous,
a judge sitting on
the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
The 2010 impeachment process was brought
against Porteous that he had repeatedly
committed perjury
by signing false disclosure forms under oath.
These falsified documents enabled Porteous
to hide the fact that he had been receiving money and other things of value
from attorneys appearing in cases before him.
Porteous was removed from office
on December 8, 2010.
Presidential Impeachment Cases
The
U.S. House of Representatives
has issued :"articles of impeachment"
only twice before.
These include
the impeachment of
Presidents
Andrew Johnson, in 1868,
and
William “Bill” Clinton in 1998.
Another president, Richard Nixon,
faced the possibility of impeachment after
the House Judiciary Committee
approved articles of impeachment.
The matter never reached the
House of Representatives,
however,
as Nixon resigned on August 8, 1974.
In 1868,
Andrew Johnson,
who was the 17th President
of the United States, was impeached.
The impeachment came
after he was found in violation
of the "Tenure of Office Act",
which prohibited any president
from removing appointed officials
without the approval of the senate.
Johnson was acquitted
during the Senate hearing,
and the Tenure of Office Act
was later found to be unconstitutional.
The most famous impeachment process
in the U.S. took place in 1998.
President Bill Clinton, the 42nd president,
was impeached on charges of
perjury and obstruction of justice.
These charges came about
after Clinton was accused
of having an affair with a White House intern,
and sexually harassing another woman.
President Clinton was acquitted
of the charges on February 12, 1999.
I hope this sheds some light into your questions
re Impeachment,
& if you are not sure, then suffice it to say
- No - what they are doing to the President, is Not legal,
& is specifically Not "formal Articles of Impeachment".
