It's sad when our representatives refuse to do their actual jobs like defending the Constitution. Since when is Congress supposed to be defense attorneys for the executive branch? Senate won't even sign any bipartisan bills just creating a graveyard of potential laws. Is it too much to ask...
While Republicans run scared from the word socialism they try to turn the country into a theocratic dictatorship like some Iran Russian hybrid monster.
Meanwhile most of the world has more sense for things like health which many feel should be a right.

Not sure if people really like the big two. Independent is the biggest political party though most of them lean one way or another but mainly out of necessity.

There are many Constitutional reasons that the call got people immediately investigating. This Trump Ukraine scenario could easily be a definition of what the writers were after.
The Founders Would Have Impeached Trump for His Ukraine-Related Misconduct - Center for American Progress
GOP is compromised. They don't care what Trump does if it makes money and keeps them in power. Same folks that wanted to impeach Clinton over lying about sex or Obama for not being a citizen, years of Clinton investigations, where as Trump and plenty of GOP keep getting caught actually being...
Stupid scheme probably was Giuliani's idea. Even if it was, everyone involved with a crime is culpable though the US president has a lot of leverage and power over those working for him. People don't agree with Trump they get fired

I don't mind leadership to be dumb but they should at least be familiar with the job. Or we could just pick some random reality show star to be CEO of a major corporation.
It takes a separate senate vote of simple majority to keep the president from running for a future office.

The constitution has all sorts of protections to keep a president from abusing their power, which trump ignores all of. No telling what they will find in just violating oath. Conviction in senate doesn’t necessarily mean removal, it would only take a simple majority to keep trump from running...
Presidents have limitations on how they can deal with foriegn governments to avoid corruption and foreign meddling . The founders were very clear in this. Trump always rides the tight rope on law and it shouldn't be surprising that he crosses the line with his methodology. Of course Trump's...
The framers appeared to be very aware that the President has power and could lead astray if unchecked. The founders wanted a way for the President to be checked. These days it's about being able to lawyer the lawyers. The President these days has a whole department dedicated to protecting...
