The last impeachment of a President occurred in 1998 over Bill Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky. Karma has a sense of humor. Please note the impeachment tickets for Bill Clinton in the cover photo. It is ironic that a modern day impeachment trial against Donald Trump could result in Bill Clinton’s wife going down for the count.
Before settling into teaching post-secondary sociology, psychology, research and statistics, early on in my academic career, I used to teach American government and American history at the AP level. The topic of impeachment was a staple to the class. Therefore, I am looking at the unfolding events related to a possible impeachment with great interest.
I feel compelled to tell the Democrats that when you have lived in glass houses for decades, dripping with criminality, the Democrats should not start throwing stones.
I have come to the conclusion that it’s important for the American people to understand what is going on here with regard to the impeachment process. First of all, I would be highly surprised if any articles of impeachment are drawn up and then subsequently acted upon. The reason I say that is because if the Democrats follow this course of action they will ultimately destroy their party.
Why Impeachment Will Not Result In Conviction
If impeachment is delivered against the President, the trial would referred to the Senate which is controlled by the Republicans. The President will never be convicted of these charges. Even the Republicans who don’t like Trump will stand by him because of what it would mean to their political power if a Democrat was in the White House. Further, they will not want to provide a precedent that elections mean nothing and anyone can be removed for any reason. There will even be Senate Democrats that will not vote to convict because they will worry about being on the wrong side of history and they don’t want an angry public to turn on them. And there are also a FEW Democrats who still believe in the rule of law.
