US President Donald Trump has officially had an impeachment article filed against him.
It was introduced by Democratic congressmen, Al Green and Brad
Sherman, with the backdrop of news about Russia’s possible involvement
with the Trump’s election campaign.
Sherman said the article was filed because the firing of FBI Director James Comey, constitutes an “obstruction of justice”.
“Recent disclosures by Donald Trump Jr. indicate that Trump’s
campaign was eager to receive assistance from Russia. It now seems
likely that the President had something to hide when he tried to curtail
the investigation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and the
wider Russian probe.
“Everyday, Democrats, Republicans, and the entire world are shocked
by the latest example of America’s amateur President. Ignorance
accompanied by a refusal to learn. Lack of impulse control, accompanied
by a refusal to have his staff control his impulses. We’re no longer
surprised by any action, no matter how far below the dignity of the
office — and no matter how dangerous to the country.
“But the Constitution does not provide for the removal of a President
for impulsive, ignorant incompetence. It does provide for the removal
of a President for High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” a statement on his
website reads.
