The Department of Justice will not be releasing all of its files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein by Friday’s deadline, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Friday morning.
In an interview with Fox News, Blanche said the department would “release several hundred thousand documents today.”
But he acknowledged Friday’s release would not encompass all of the DOJ’s documents for the investigation into the late financier.
Impeachment is necessary to kick him out. That’s the point. Yes it takes votes, but you have to Impeach first then the Senate can vote to remove.
Being impeached has no effect on eligibility to run again.
That’s the legal framework
Ahh ok, so it’s like the first step. How come last time there wasn’t the second step? Also on a related question, if he’d been kicked out last time would he have been able to run again this time?
There was a second step. It just failed. To “introduce articles of impeachment” requires a simple majority in the house. Then to formally remove the president during the impeachment proccess requires a 2/3rds vote in the senate.
That second step did occur, but didn’t have enough votes to pass. The democrats did not have a 2/3rds majority in the senate and Republicans weren’t willing to impeach their own president
Yes he would have
Thanks. Always nice to learn about different country’s political systems.
It’s not necessary to kick him out. 25th amendment
That has nothing to do with congress and is not something people can effect with their vote.
Honestly it’s even more of a longshot than a successful impeachment.
You are right on the law though and technically correct.
