    Sorry, I am just posting out of extreme fear. I heard stories from the left about how important it is that elections matter and that the country is so fragile it can't handle a challenged election. I see this election now being challenged and I just don't know what to do. What is going to happen?????? Keep your composure bootlegger!

    There is a thread for that. Seek help!
    Whatever it takes! You are not alone!

    ^^^understood. but, this election is different. We have someone just plain rotten about the enter the WH. In my mind, this issue transcends party lines.

    Were you in favor of impeaching Bill? He said the same things about immigration and the border as Trump and treated women the same as well.

    Yes
    The election is not being challenged. It the fitness of the POTUS elect that is being challenged.

    Isn't that what primary campaigns and elections are for? You are challenging the election if immediately seeking impeachment. Next time just tell us who you think is fit to be president and we can just save time and put that person in office.

    Yes
    ^^^we have a man who has been accused of some very bad things. He needs to answer for those. Impeachment is part of that process.

    Bill talked about banning Muslims and building a wall (payed for by Mexico)?

    I must have missed that, care to provide a source?

    OP
    Is this thread for finding out if President-elect Trump should be impeached only or is it a starting of a movement by you to get others onboard like a petition?

    No
    It looks like nearly all are for impeachment. On what grounds? There have to be reasons other than "I don't like him."
    He hasn't been charged, let alone of any sexually related crimes (well, charged but the charges were dropped). There's been no criminal activity with Trump U, just people saying they wasted their money. Because he's made a few bad jokes and comments that's enough for impeachment?

    ^^^ he hasnt been charged but he could be still. it seems like it will take a lady with a backbone to do it. no one likes an entitled pervert. ESP will go.

    Agreed. I hate, HATE, that he won and will be President but this accomplishes nothing. You know what else I hated, Republicans saying before President Obama talk of not working with him, making sure he is a one term President and so much other nonsense. Look where that got us. It created a more divided country than when the President took office.
    Accusations are not grounds for impeachment. Unethical behavior prior to becoming president are not grounds for impeachment. There is nothing in Trump's history that makes me believe he won't drastically overreach his powers...then you pounce. Not now.

    ^^^impeachment accomplishes nothing? Last I heard it's a major milestone in extracting human garbage that got elected to POTUS

    Okay. What is your case LEGALLY that Trump be impeached when he takes office? Being a terrible person sadly is not a legal reason. Convince me, because I want there to be a reason...but I don't see one.

    Sexual assault. This is where someone who understands the constitution better than me can chime in. In general, impeachment has been used for offenses comittted in office. However, I don't believe its limited to that

    He's been accused of sexual assault, yes. That doesn't mean he's guilty of sexual assault. If that were the case, there'd be allegations thrown at every president in hope of getting them removed.
    Being convicted of a felony in the past is a disqualification for running for President, I believe.

    And, to be clear, I'm defending the process of democracy and impeachment- not the indefensible Donald Trump.
