Impeachments For Senators

Federal case law holds that there are two elements to the crime of treason: adherence to the enemy and intent to betray. Absent one there is no treason.

The Senate has 26 seats made from 12 members elected by local councils, 8 appointed by the president, four appointed by the Political Organizations Forum, and two represent institutions of higher learning. Each member serves an eight-year term. The Chamber of Deputies seats 80 persons from whom 53 members elected by popular vote, 24 women elected by local bodies, and three selected by youth and disability organizations. These members serve five-year terms (Central Intelligence Agency, n.d.).

The Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. Impeachment is when one who holds office in the United States is questioned as to whether they are still able to carry out their duties and still should hold their office position. Those who hold office in the United States may be impeached by committing, but not limited to, treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. The process of impeachment begins with, for example, the President being tried. The Chief of Justice will then preside. There must be a two-thirds concurrence of the current members of the Senate for a conviction. If convicted the President will be removed from office and be unapproved for any office of honor, trust, or profit in the United States as stated

When a new president is elected, they must take an oath that contains many large responsibilities. If the president fails to maintain these responsibilities or abuses his powers, the constitution provides the House of Representatives with the right to impeach the president. Article one of the United States Constitution gives them this power. This also gives the Senate the power to try impeachments. State constitutions contain similar things that allow the state legislature to impeach state officials who are not doing a good job. The process of impeachment is long and hard, for a president to be impeached, they have to violate certain things, and there have only been two U.S. presidents impeached.

Since the day Donald Trump became a president, some people have been hoping the possibilities of the president getting impeached. Although, the president is considered the head of the government, his power is limited. He shares his power with the legislatives and judicials. The way for a president to get impeached comes from congress. Congress has the power to impeach and remove the president from office. In an article in New York Times states that in one of the Trump presidentcy, 48% democrats already want the president impeached. In order for impeachment to go through, the house would vote to impeach the president and get a majority vote of 218. Then, the impeachment would move to senate and they would need two third vote.

The differences between being a member of the House of Representatives and a member of the Senate start from the eligibility. To be a member of the United States Senate you have to be five years older than you would in the House of Representatives, to join the House of Representatives you have to be 25 years old. In addition to a higher age than the House you also have to be a legal citizen for a longer time than the House. To be a member of the house you only have to be a legal citizen for 7 years. However to be a member of the US Senate the time requirement of citizenship is 9 years.

On November 15th, six democrats in congress issued five articles of impeachment for President Trump. The five articles entailed unconstitutional actions number one being obstruction of justice for when President Trump fired F.B.I. director James comey. Number two is a violation of Article I Section 9 for taking money from foreign affairs without congress consent. Number three is a violation of Article II Section 1 for reasons not stated in this article but Article II entails the details for being the President of the United States. Number four was undermining the judiciary branch. Lastly, number five, is undermining the free press. The members of congress issuing these articles and called upon congress to review them immediately. The likelihood of an impeachment actually happening is very slim but it is still a possibility. The congress has every right with justifiable cause to impose impeachment on

During the presidency of Barack Obama, many people from the general community and political arena, many who are members of the Republican congress have not only stated but declared that Obama has committed many impeachable acts and should face removal from office. Reasons offered for impeachment have ranged from the alleged White House cover-up the Benghazi attack in 2012 to his failure to defend the borders, particularly with Mexico, from illegal immigration. No official impeachment process has been started; no one has created an official list of charges for impeachment and proposed them to the Judiciary Committee. Since becoming president, Barack Obama has repeatedly ignored and bypassed Congress. He has used his presidential powers to

The Tennessee Intercollegiate State Legislator Black Caucus prides itself on honesty and loyalty. With this being said, we cannot give our endorsement to James Mathews. The role of the Black Caucus is not to act as a trophy to display diversity, and it is certainly not to be used as a pawn in a malicious political agenda. A narrative has been created that implied the Black Caucus lead the charge for the impeachment of Nick Limbo, these allegations are completely false. The six signatures that contributed to the fifty need for the motion of impeachment were only signed after James Mathews personally handed the petition to the chairwoman, and even after the fact; chairwomen’s decision to ask members to signed the petition was made after it was

And now it’s as easy as it is hard to get removed from office as it is to get into via two ways, the first being impeachment is the process by which a legislative body formally levels charges against a high official of government. Impeachment does not necessarily mean removal from office; it is only a formal statement of charges, akin to an indictment in criminal law, and is thus only the first step towards removal. Once an individual is impeached, he or she must then face the possibility of conviction via legislative vote, which then entails the removal of the individual from office. The Constitution defines an impeachable offence as the President, Vice President or any civil officers of The United States of America to be impeached and removed only for treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

The way of being appointed to become a senator has been undemocratic in nature from its creation. There are very few written rules and principles to appoint individuals, and very few rules for senators to successfully represent the region they reside in due to political patronage and partisanship.

Each representative or senator is given one vote within Congress, which can be exercised in approval/disapproval of potential laws as well as proposed amendments and ratification of amendments. Unlike delegates under the Articles of Confederation where one year was the maximum amount of time allowed for terms served was three years within the allotted six, senators are limited to six years served, and representatives are limited to two years under the new Constitution. With this being said, the appointment of these figures varies as well. Under the AOC, each state appointed its members, but with the Constitution, representatives are elected by the people with a vote. However, senators are still appointed by the state under the original constitution, but this would later change as modern times initiate voting for the appointment of state senators. Unlike the delegates previously who were paid by their states for their positions within Congress, the federal government now funds the salaries of those members of Congress. In relation to the payment of the members, the topic of taxation within the government now arises. Under the Constitution, the federal government, along with the states, can now tax the states as well as the people of the United States. These taxes fund the military (regulated by the federal government), state and local law enforcement agencies, help fund the states (highways, state programs), help aid the poor and those in need of assistance (EBT, WIC), as well as fund

Impeachment is a formal process in which an official was accused of illegal activities, the results of which, depending on the country, which may include the removal of that official from office as well as penalties criminal or civil. Cut is when the representatives decided to send the president or other government in the Senate to test to see if they are suitable to continue to hold their positions. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were both impeached, but they have been found fit to resume presidential terms of senators.

Representatives are elected every two years by popular vote. Senators are elected every six years, also by popular vote. To be a member of Congress, only a few qualifications, of citizenship, residency, and age, must be met. Some advantages incumbent legislators enjoy include name recognition, lawmaking power, professional staffs, and access to the media. In addition to these advantages, they typically have greater fund-raising ability than their
