Very creative, but I don't consider a constitutional process set forth under Article I, Sections 2 and 3 and Article II, Section 4, a coup. Also, as per that process, even if the House of Representatives votes to impeach, that is the equivalent of an indictment. The Senate would hold a trial and removal would depend on a 2/3 vote.

From a technical standpoint you're correct. However when history is used considering the deep state operatives said Trump would not be elected, then attempted to prevent him from taking office with statements urging "Electors" to defy the election results, and comments about an "insurance policy" to remove him from office with false Russia collusion claims, the fact President Obama recommended that Ukraine investigate Paul Manafort, Hillary Clinton's campaign had real collusion with the Russians to create the Steele dossier, Senators Durbin Leahy and Menendez threatened to cut off Ukrainian aid if they didn't help Mueller, VP Biden gave Ukraine 6 hours to fire their prosecutor investigating his son or lose billions in aid, John Kerry went rogue and held a secret meeting with Iranian officials to undermine official U.S. policy, etc. -- there is a lot more than the technical standpoint to be viewed. This is plain and simple a second coup attempt being driven by the deep state, those who want their power back and congressional pawns.

If this succeeds, then perhaps every political party will use "impeachment" proceedings to damage and/or remove every president they don't like or don't agree with politically.

Interesting photo and interpretation. Agree especially with your last statement.

Toujours tres evocateurs vos sujets.. Cette fois c'est la politique qui prend place ,face a une democratie un peu pietinee... Un president qui nie les faits,et les democrates qui veulent le destituer ( constitution oblige ) . Le resultat incombe aux deux chambres, avec un avantage aux deputes du senat majoritaires .

It's not a good situation when each side has there share of "pietinees" that refuse to accept facts if they paint a negative picture of their own kind and policies but this is today's USA. Still childish behavior is not an impeachable offense even if it does invite gridlock. It also isn't good that sometime between 2018 and recently, the intelligence community "deep state" changed their definition of a "whistleblower" from someone who has direct knowledge to someone that can have second or third hand knowledge to entice their operative to come forward with claims about a call he really knew nothing about. For those who support impeachment, perhaps talk about Hurricane Dorian, his Alabama mistake and the strong arm tactics directed at the NOAA might be something legitimate to look into.

Schöne Arbeit!

Politik war und ist ein schmutziges Geschäft, aufgebaut auf Kompromissen, Lügen und Intrigen.Interessengruppen und nicht zuletzt die Wirtschaftliche Politik bestimmen die Lage in einer Nation. In ihrem Fall geht es um eine Einzelperson, die auch nur persönliche Interessen verfolgt

Still, there used to be some integrity in politics where people could put aside differences to compromise for the greater good of country and community. Perhaps abolishing political parties and allowing people to serve as individuals representing their constituents might be a solution since then they would have less reason to embrace zero-sum politics and ideologies over constituent needs and concerns such that compromise and working together would be back in style. No wonder George Washington refused to join a political party even if some try to assign him one based on his personal beliefs!

Very well done and an interesting article William.

Thank you Ron, Malik, by the way, Reyk, and Jaap!

I have read with interest all the comments.
I have a very clear opinion about Trump and I admit that it's a bit exaggerated.
I don't know the American Constitution to be able to have a real sense of the process that is currently taking place in the United States.
I hope the right solution is found

A very topical subject and very interesting work, William!

yes, great work!

We live in interesting times indeed. Worse luck...
