Congress "should never, ever impeach," said President Donald Trump on Friday. Two days earlier, he said impeachment "shouldn't be allowed."
Left unanswered is the question, by whom?
Where does it say that this president is above the law, and is not subject to investigation over potential violations of Constitutional bans on "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors"?
It is the duty of Congress, a co-equal branch of the U.S. government, to inquire into such allegations and, if sufficient evidence turns up, to take the action specified in the Constitution: Impeachment by the House of Representatives, trial by the Senate and removal from office if convicted.
Perhaps it's too much to expect this current president to actually read the Constitution he swore to "preserve, protect and defend."
