You think that the 'main difference' is the term length?
California has 53 representatives to Congress right now. 45 of them are Democrats.
California has 2 Senators. Both are Democrats.
Montana has one representative to Congress. A Republican
Montana has two Senators; one Republican, one...
He was guilty of lying about that under oath. While he was assessed a huge fine for what happened with Paula, (sexual assault aka rape) he was DISBARRED for the lie. Which he admitted to and was found guilty of.
No he isn't. Even the articles of impeachment don't go to the extent of charging...
Well, the people who own them do, I think.
It is why the Senate and the House were set up so differently, y'know...to ensure that there would be no 'tyranny of the majority' going on.
Why don't you like the electoral college?
Because getting rid of it absolutely ensures that only coastal regions will have any influence in federal politics, in re the office of POTUS?
Because it certainly will do that.
You can accuse me of all sorts of things, Tom...but not of being a hypocrite.
....and Clinton's impeachment was bipartisan. Mostly. 31 Democrats joined the Republicans in that vote to impeach, and let's face it, Clinton was GUILTY of the crimes for which he was impeached. He not only was...
What isn't true?
Does the fact that I put 'elect' in quotes bother you? You could use 'appointed,' or some other thing. "They" have been trying to get my father to be a state elector for years. He won't do it. The point is, the electors are supposed to go the way their state does. Most of the...
It's more likely that a bunch of Democrats and independent voters will realize what the Dems are attempting to pull here and say 'not in my nation, you don't.' They aren't protecting the Republicans. They are protecting the nation.
They will remember, even if the idiots don't, that what the...
Because Trump campaigned better and won more electoral votes? Your opinion is that the framers of the constitution meant that modern day 'progressive' Democrats should always win, and when they don't, it's because someone else cheated?
Frankly, with all the accusations of someone wanting to be...
Excuse me?
We 'elect' the representatives of the electoral college, and they elect the president, using their votes (usually) according to the popular vote of the state they come from.
Works fine....rather the way Congress does. You know, in order to maintain fairness, the House is comprised...
Uh huh.
"I am standing for the right, being firm and holding my principals.
YOU are being obstructive, stubborn and bowing to pressure from people who don't know their asses from their elbows."
Gotcha.
.........didn't read the rest of the post. Should I have?
Possibly.
However, I have to think that what Hillary did was demonstrably against the law, and nobody has even hinted that what Trump did was.
In Hillary's case, the whole thing came down to 'well, she did it, but do we let her get away with it because stupidity is a pretty good excuse?"...
Yes. It was an utter waste of time.
With Nixon...which was bipartisan and he may or may not have been convicted (he definitely would have been impeached) it wasn't a waste of time, and I can only honor him for resigning before he put us through all that. With Clinton, which was also not an...
