WASHINGTON - A momentous question hanging over Washington is whether investigations into President Donald Trump will prompt the U.S. Congress to try to remove him from office through the impeachment process set out in the U.S. Constitution.
A Republican-led House voted to impeach Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1998, midway through his second term in office, and the Senate voted not to remove him in 1999. Under the Constitution, presidents are barred from seeking a third term. As an election nears, “I think there is an inherent consideration that perhaps the voters should decide this,” added Chabot, a House Judiciary Committee member.
Turley told an American Bar Association conference in New Orleans, “No one is going to tolerate an impeachment months before an election, when the president is on the campaign trail.” President Richard Nixon resigned amid the Watergate scandal in 1974 after the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment but before the full House had a chance to vote.
