Impeach, impeach, impeach! Articles of Impeachment to help the Republicans.

By twice impeaching President Trump twice, there was a stain on America, as Nancy Pelosi said. But the stain was on the Democrat controlled House of Representatives. However, it changed the game. If the Democrats are going to make false and fraudulent claims against a president, do everything in their power to disrupt his or her administration, then the Republicans, at least going by the same standards, have to do the same. But, they should not and do not have to lie or commit fraud to do so or undermine our rule of law. Because these charges against Biden are all legitimate. Indeed, just the evidence that Tony Bobulinski shall testify too, if given the opportunity, alone, should be sufficient. 

The Republicans worry me. There is ample evidence to impeach Biden. The Democrat hearings were a joke. The Republican hearings should be just as short and Democrats should be faced with the same limitations the Republicans had during the hearings. Will the Republicans live up to their duties and turn around our country, expose years of corruption by the Democrats. I don't know. I doubt their perseverance and integrity, at least many of them. 

In case the R leadership needs help, I've already drafted Articles of Impeachment for them, based on what is publicly reported. Impeachments of Garland, Mayorkas and Wray should come next.

RESOLUTION

RESOLVED, That Joseph R. Biden, Jr., President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, and that the following articles of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:

ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT EXHIBITED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IN THE NAME OF ITSELF AND OF THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AGAINST JOSEPH R. BIDEN, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT OF ITS IMPEACHMENT AGAINST HIM FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANOURS.

ARTICLE 1: DERILICTION OF DUTIES OF THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE

The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct of the office of President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden, Jr. has been in dereliction of his duties of the Presidency, in that:

A.    Afghanistan: Using the powers of his high office as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, President Biden demanded and oversaw the evacuation and retreat of our Armed Forces from Afghanistan in an extremely and predictably dangerous manner, having been forewarned by the Chiefs of Staff and Intelligence Services of the dangers of progressing in the manner chosen by him, regardless of the risks to our own Armed Forces stationed therein, to our allies, including the Afghan people, regardless of the expected damage to the reputation and therefore effectiveness of our Armed Forces and the view of the world as to The United States of America’s determination in military conflicts and dedication to its allies. In so doing, he ignored and injured the integrity of The United States and our Armed Forces. President Biden, acting both directly and through his agents engaged in this dereliction of duty by, among other things:

1.     While claiming to follow the path of the Agreement with the Taliban entered into during the Trump Administration, failed to use the prudence inherent in and expected of the Executive in ignoring the conditions upon the Taliban and benchmarks for evacuation to take place.

2.     Insisting on a firm deadline for evacuation to be concluded regardless of the obvious impossibility of doing so without risk of harm and death to our Armed Forces, Americans in Afghanistan, our allies and the people of Afghanistan.

3.     Ignoring the advice of the Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces and our intelligence agencies not to proceed in the manner he directed.

4.     Ignoring the obvious effect of a premature evacuation in declaring that the rapid takeover by the Taliban was not inevitable despite admitting he could not trust the Taliban.

5.     Recklessly causing the death to at least 13 members of the American Armed Forces, and countless thousands of Afghanis, many of whom had voluntarily worked towards the goals of The United States and its allies.

6.     Recklessly abandoning hundreds of Americans in Afghanistan and the Afghanis who had voluntarily served with and aided our Armed Forces and those of our allies, some of whom, United States citizens and others who are still there in Afghanistan, unable to get out, to the dangerous and even homicidal tendencies of the Taliban.

7.     Lying to the American people in first stating that “the likelihood there’s going to be the Taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely” and that “there's going to be no circumstance where people would be lifted off the US Embassy roof” later claiming after the complete victory of the Taliban and evacuation made from the roof of The United States Embassy that it was impossible to evacuate without “chaos ensuing.”

8.     While taking credit and admitting responsibility for ending the war he also blamed the previous administration despite ignoring the conditions and benchmarks in their agreement with the Taliban, even insisting that he had no choice but to act as he did, despite the fact that he could have simply declared a previous president’s agreement no longer in effect, and, in fact, beginning on his first day in office, completely reversing many of the effects and acts of the last administration, including making The United States energy independent and securing the border. 

B.    The Border: Using the powers of his high office as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, President Biden demanded and oversaw the weakening of our southern border with Mexico, allowing in millions of illegal aliens, including scores of those on the terrorist watch list, all for the purposes of trying to increase the numbers of people he believes will, if gaining citizenship someday, will likely vote for the Democrat Party. President Biden, acting both directly and through his agents engaged in this dereliction of duty by, among other things and in some cases immediately upon becoming president:

1.     Ending the previous administration’s stay in Mexico policy.

2.     Ending the previous administration’s border wall project.

3.     Ending the previous administration’s hold on immigration from certain countries.

4.     Rescinding the previous administration’s order calling for removal of illegal aliens.

5.     Refunding Sanctuary Cities, thereby rewarding those cities frustrating federal law and federal agents

6.     Trying to pause deportation enforcement for a hundred days.

7.     Terminating the emergency proclamation (and then created a new emergency).

8.     Ordering the Department of Census to count illegal aliens, thereby increasing the power of those states they would naturally flock to, like Chicago, New York and California.

9.     Ending immigration status checks for sponsors of unaccompanied minors, quadrupled the number of refugee admissions. 

10.  With foreknowledge that a claim that mounted border control troops had whipped migrants was false, indeed, that the photographer whose photograph was the basis of the claim had said that not only was there no whipping shown in his photograph, but he had never seen any whipping, President Biden used it as an excuse to suspend the effective use of mounted troops at the border.

Biden's actions led to historically low deportations, record border crossings, a huge influx of fentanyl, according to Texas’ Governor Abbot, almost a 900% increase since 2019, created a massive surge at the border by giving good reason for immigrants to believe it would be easier to get into the United States and causing chaos at the border and allowing the easy entrance into America of illegal drugs, including fentanyl, criminals, terrorists and those infected with Covid and the deaths of countless migrants including accompanied and unaccompanied minors, danger to Federal Agents at the border and the overwhelming of the agency charged with protecting the border. So reckless and indifferent to suffering as a result of his policies, he caused what has been described by congresspersons, senators and experts in his own party to describe it as “catastrophic,” “a crisis,” “a national emergency,” and “an alarming uptrend in the apprehension of convicted sex offenders.”

So secretive was the administrative, including in not giving journalists access to the border, that a Democrat congressman has stated that he gets more information from Mexico than he does from the Biden administration and leaked photos about the horrid condition the children are being kept in.

WHEREFORE, President Biden, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law caused uncountable deaths, privation, dissention within the United States between border states and non-border states, allowed the tremendous growth of the illicit drug trade and its sequelae of death and destruction, particularly to young people and their families and participated in unethical and corrupt business practices which he kept secret from the American people. He cannot continue to be the Executive and Commander of our Armed Forces. President Biden thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

ARTICLE II. ABUSE OF POWERS

The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment” and that the President “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”. In his conduct of the office of President of the United States—and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—Joseph R. Biden has abused the powers of the Presidency, in that:

A. In the Office of the Presidency

1.  He has used his office to seek to destroy or permanently impair the petroleum industry which is necessary to the safety, happiness and the security of the people of the United States from his first day in office, including stopping development of a key pipeline, withholding valuable leases he was required to auction to oil companies, denigrating and the industry and blaming them for alarming prices for which he was responsible by decreasing drilling and exploration. He sought to avoid responsibility for the negative effects of these actions by lying as to the price at the gasoline pump when he took office, roughly doubling it, by severely decreasing The United States Strategic Petroleum Reserve supplies, and by approaching those countries he has previously castigated for fuel production and begging for increased production, including the de facto president of Venezuela whom The United States does not recognize. Regardless of the danger to the country, Biden refuses to acknowledge that his economy and specifically his energy policies have failed.

As a result of his actions, the war in Ukraine has undoubtedly been extended, Russia, the aggressor there, has been empowered and enriched, already dangerous inflation has worsened, a diesel fuel crises has already incurred threatening all industry and even home heating oil, and, the security of The United States of American has been threatened.

2. By a series of illegal and unconstitutional mandates in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic and by public statements that belied the known science as to the vaccines produced by several companies and despite the knowledge that the vaccines do not prevent the spread of Covid-19, he caused the loss of tens of thousands of jobs,  including in private industry and the military and incited hatred and misunderstanding between the citizens of this country by denigrating those who chose not to be vaccinated with an untested serum.

3. While knowing that he had not the power to do so, he ordered the cancellation of debt, and in a grossly unequal application, to millions of educational debtors. In order to avoid responsibility for his actions, he lied to the American people, claiming that it had passed both houses of congress by a small number of votes. 

B. In the Office of Vice President

While serving under President Obama then Vice President Biden engaged in international business activities with his son, Hunter Biden and his brother, James Biden, using his office of Vice President as a draw.

While Vice President under President Obama, President Biden, among other things:

 

1.     Allowed Hunter Biden use of transportation available to him as Vice President.

 

2.     Met with various actors in the business transactions as requested by Hunter Biden.

 

3.     Participated in business meetings with Hunter Biden and others.

 

4.     Spoke with Hunter Biden and offered advice to him concerning his businesses and fallout from its exposure.

 

5.     Reaped ten percent of certain business deals conducted by Hunter Biden, earning millions of dollars which were held by Hunter Biden for him.

 

6.     Engaged in what is commonly called “pay for play.”

 

7.     Violated the tax laws of this country by not reporting income.

 

8.     Kept his activities secret from the American people while he ran for president, being spoken of among the business circle as “The Big Guy.”

 

9.     Frequently lied to the American people by denying his knowledge and participation with Hunter Biden and others in their business dealings.

 

10.  Coerced and then publicly bragged of coercing Ukraine’s then president with one billion dollars in loan guarantees into firing its own Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating Burisma Holdings, on whose board Hunter Biden sat. 

These acts, taken individually, or in unison, have placed The United States and our allies in the most vulnerable position since the early days of this nation by placing his presidency subject to pressure from other countries, including The People’s Republic of China, our largest global competitor, caused the further fracturing of our national unity to a greater extent than in prior years dating back to the days of Reconstruction, unlawfully harmed and destroyed the lives of thousands of citizens with unlawful and unconstitutional decrees and generally abused the powers of the presidency. 

WHEREFORE, President Biden, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law, caused the country enormous economic damage, tremendous individual hardships and participated in unethical and corrupt business practices which he kept secret from the American people. He cannot continue to be the Executive and Commander of our Armed Forces. President Biden thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.

  1. They all seem legitimate to me and supported by the requisite level of proof. I doubt the R's have the balls to do it.

About Me

My photo
I started this blog in September, 2006. Mostly, it is where I can talk about things that interest me, which I otherwise don't get to do all that much, about some remarkable people who should not be forgotten, philosophy and theories (like Don Foster's on who wrote A Visit From St. Nicholas and my own on whether Santa is mostly derived from a Norse god) and analysis of issues that concern me. Often it is about books. I try to quote accurately and to say when I am paraphrasing (more and more). Sometimes I blow the first name of even very famous people, often entertainers. I'm much better at history, but once in a while I see I have written something I later learned was not true. Sometimes I fix them, sometimes not. My worst mistake was writing that Beethoven went blind, when he actually went deaf. Feel free to point out an error. I either leave in the mistake, or, if I clean it up, the comment pointing it out. From time to time I do clean up grammar in old posts as, over time I have become more conventional in my grammar, and I very often write these when I am falling asleep and just make dumb mistakes. It be nice to have an editor, but . . . .
