The Business Standard released an article on January 31st about how President Elect Biden will handle the impeachment trial of former President Trump. Biden's position on the impeachment trial is to distance himself from it so he does not derail the agenda items he is attempting to push forward such as adding another stimulus package, adding to the food stamp program, etc. My feeling as it relates to the impeachment of former President Trump is that there is no legal precedent to pursue an impeachment of a president that is not a current sitting president. It is ridiculous that we are even having to go through this process and spend tax payer dollars to chase an impeachment of an president that has already left office. Additionally, Nancy Pelosi and the rest of those in favor of impeachment that are pretending like this is a "sad" and "somber" day for them is laughable. They do not like Trump, and they want him to drag him through the mud as much as they possibly can. On the flip side, Trump does not like them and will push back and fight them tooth and nail no matter if it is ethical or proper process. The fact that as an American citizen we are having to sit by and watch this bi-partisan circus by democrats and republicans alike is infuriating and it speaks to the core of our political reality in America right now. With that said, from a legal standpoint the impeachment effort against a private citizen is a dangerous precedent to set. If this goes through, what is to stop Congress from impeaching any private citizen prior to their election as president? In that case, anyone that does not conform to the agenda of the side in power running against the incumbent can be impeached and not allowed the ability to let the voters decide who takes office, instead the will of those in power would not allow the will of the voters to vote who they want into office. -Dalton Willett BLOG POST #1
