President Donald Trump in March of 2018<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Searcy, AR. (LP) \u2014 Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, has had his fair share of controversies during his presidency. It seems like every week there’s something new going on with the president.\u00a0 Last week, something new blew up that shocked the political world.\u00a0 Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and other members of the democratic party accused President Trump of pressuring the Ukrainian president into giving information about Joe Biden’s son. This caused Pelosi to initiate an impeachment inquiry against the president. This caused a huge debate with different views about the inquiry. President Trump had to eventually release the call details from all the way back in July.\u00a0 As it seems, nothing was wrong with it at surface level.\u00a0 This didn’t stop the debate and as of October 7th, it’s still going on.\u00a0 We spoke with Sean Crain and Barry James about how they feel about what’s happening.<\/p>\n

Sean Crain had a lot to say about the subject. He believes that the democrats are “morally right and legally right that he should be removed from his current position,” he said.\u00a0 Sean is a Democrat and has been against Trump for years.\u00a0 He believes that “an inquiry is a step in the right direction, but I doubt anything further will be successful unless a massive political bombshell hits.”<\/p>\n

“The impeachment inquiry is absolutely ludicrous,” said Barry.\u00a0 Barry has been a strong supporter of Trump for years and doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon.\u00a0 He also has been a Republican for a few years. As of right now he’s on the side of Trump. “Having the knowledge that Trump and his cabinet have not committed anything resembling breaking the law, I stand with President Trump,” said Barry.\u00a0 He did state that if new material came out against trump, he would join the Democrats in this debate.<\/p>\n

Three presidents have been impeached or been close to in the past; none of them were removed from office.\u00a0 Andrew Johnson (1868) and Bill Clinton (1998) were both impeached but weren’t removed.\u00a0 Richard Nixon was going to be impeached but resigned before it happened.\u00a0 Being impeached doesn’t mean getting removed from office, contrary to popular belief.\u00a0 It actually means “a charge of misconduct made against the holder of a public office.” Those are impeached remain until the end of their term, unless further actions are taken. The impeachment process starts in the House of Representatives.\u00a0 If the house votes to bring impeachment charges, those charges will be handed over to the senate for an impeachment trial.\u00a0 If they vote 2\/3 majority, the official charged can be removed.\u00a0 Most times, it ends up with them being able to serve out the rest of their term.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump can be impeached, but that doesn’t mean he’ll be removed from office.\u00a0 It’s an interesting development and everyone is anxious to see how it turns out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
