...the committee could move to impeach the newly-appointed justice if their findings prove he knowingly lied to lawmakers during his confirmation process.

The oath of office is a president’s promise to subordinate his private desires to the public interest, to serve the nation as a whole rather than any faction within it. Trump displays no evidence that he understands these obligations.

Many of the federal employees affected by the weeks-long shutdown have been working without pay. That is essentially the opposite of a strike.

Even Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.), who introduced an impeachment resolution earlier this week, was shocked.

Sherman's resolution, of course, is not a sign that Democrats intend to pursue impeachment yet, although he has the ability to force the issue on the House floor.

Lost in all the discussion about possible lawbreaking by Mr. Trump is the fact that impeachment wasn’t intended only for crimes.

What the president claims was no big deal, say critics, was actually a very clear campaign violation and at least one member of Congress says they "certainly" could be "impeachable offenses"

A decade ago, West Virginia foreshadowed the influence that money and politics have come to have on state judiciaries. Now it may warn of a worrying new trend.

The case just went to … the West Virginia Supreme Court, where every justice is either disqualified from hearing it or has been suspended without pay.

It works just like impeaching a president.

Like a president or any other federal official, a Supreme Court justice can be impeached under the Constitution. As it says in Article II, Section 4

He should be impeached, not elevated.

Trump on Thursday raised the prospect that he could face impeachment if Republicans lose control of Congress, imploring supporters at a campaign rally here to back GOP candidates in the midterm elections.

During today’s confirmation hearings, Brett Kavanaugh was shown to have perjured himself before Congress in 2006.

It might even keep the special counsel from sending a report to Congress, shaking Democrats’ hopes that such a document could provide the impetus for impeachment proceedings.

“You know, I guess it says something like ‘high crimes’ and all. . . . I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job”

The conviction of Trump’s former campaign chairman, guilty plea of his former personal lawyer and indictment of a leading congressional supporter raise Trump’s risks.

Why some Trump allies think his path to reelection runs through an effort to kick him out of the Oval Office.

West Virginia lawmakers completed the extraordinary move of impeaching all four state Supreme Court justices Monday night for spending issues, including a suspended justice facing a 23-count federal indictment.

Rosenstein must have done something truly and utterly horrible, because these guys don’t impeach just anybody. In fact, they impeach nobody.

“If you and I fall into bad moral habits, we can harm our families, our employers and our friends. The President of the United States can incinerate the planet. Seriously, the very idea that we ought to have at or less than the same moral demands placed on the Chief Executive that we place on our next door neighbor is ludicrous and dangerous”

The move by two top Trump allies came as the House is set to depart for a five-week recess and is unlikely to pass.

By invoking the specter of a self-pardon, the president and his defenders are implicitly suggesting that only Congress can constrain an executive's lawless behavior.

“It is for public opinion,” the former New York mayor admitted ... “Because eventually the decision here is going to be impeach or not impeach.”

The president has raised the specter of impeachment in cautioning his party against letting the House, and even the Senate, fall into Democratic control.

The new lawyer, Emmet T. Flood, will replace Ty Cobb, the White House lawyer who persuaded Mr. Trump to cooperate with the special counsel for the first year of its investigation.

Cobb is leaving, reports the New York Times, and will be replaced by Emmet T. Flood, a high-profile attorney who represented President Bill Clinton during his impeachment trial.

“We’re going to do what’s required by the rule of law, and any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way we do our job.”

Trump’s personal lawyer argued Monday that, as the nominal head of federal law enforcement, the president is legally unable to obstruct justice. But the exact opposite view was once argued by another senior Trump lawyer: Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

In his television ad, Steyer calls Trump mentally unstable and “a clear and present danger” and argues that he should be impeached because he leading the country in the direction of nuclear war, has obstructed justice and has threatened to shut down news organizations he doesn’t like.

Several months ago ... Bannon told Trump that the risk to his presidency wasn’t impeachment, but the 25th Amendment—the provision by which a majority of the Cabinet can vote to remove the president.

He: Impeachment. 25th amendment.

—Ann Coulter, right-wing political commentator

Perhaps the most interesting part of the letter, however, is the way the first letter of each paragraph forms an acrostic that spells out "impeach."

“President Trump has failed the presidential test of moral leadership. No moral president would ever shy away from outright condemning hate, intolerance and bigotry.”

That's why it's useful to look at Alexander Hamilton's defense of the pardon power, which he lays out in Federalist No. 74. Hamilton notes that "humanity and good policy" require that such a power ought to remain in the hands of the president — rather than dispersed among the many members of Congress — because "the sense of responsibility" he would feel in having such enormous power over another person's fate would ensure that he exercised it with "scrupulousness and caution."

“Twitter helped make Donald Trump president. It may also lead to his impeachment.”

It is highly unlikely — there's almost zero chance — Trump would be impeached by a Republican Congress.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, said that if Comey reiterates there is no evidence to back such claims then Trump has set himself up for impeachment.

Lavrov went on to say he was deeply concerned that Trump’s impeachment would occur well before the president could cause the amount of damage to America that the Kremlin had originally intended.

The efforts of the White House to preempt the FBI investigation of contacts closely mirrors some of the conduct described in the Articles of Impeachment against Richard Nixon in the Watergate scandal.

'Not My President's Day'

The goal is not necessarily to assess the relative likelihood of each scenario so much as to keep an open mind so you’re not so surprised when events don’t develop quite as you’d expected.
