Impeachment: A Citizen's Guide (w/ Professor Cass Sunstein)

Impeachment is a complicated process. A lot of us are asking why isn't Donald Trump being impeached right now, but could more knowledge about how the history of impeachment and why impeachment is an essential function of our constitution could help us find a way to channel our drive to impeachment Donald Trump into actually doing it.

Professor Cass Sunstein joined Thom to discuss Impeachment: A Citizen’s Guide.

Impeachment is part of the constitution and seen as an essential section to protect the people. The Founding Fathers means that impeachment should be used for violation of a President’s misuse of authority. Presidential misdemeanours can be impeached, as well as crimes.

A grave offense by the president would allow for the impeachment process. Has there been a obstruction of justice by the president? The second volume of the Mueller Report indicates that an inquiry should be instigated into Donald Trump’s presidency and impeachment considered.
