A private person cannot be impeached. End of story.

Impeachment of former office holders is unconstitutional. . .

The U.S. Constitution is unquestionably clear on the purpose and limits of the impeachment of a president:

Article 2 Section 1 states: “The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years…”

Article 2 Section 4 states: “The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

The key word in each of these constitutional provisions is “office.”

According to the plain language of the Constitution, impeachment may ONLY be used against a person currently in office.

As of January 20, Donald J. Trump left the office of the president.

If impeachment could be used against former office holders, then every former office holder could be impeached by the majority party. Indeed, the controlling party could impeach all future presidential candidates who were former office holders.

The House impeachment was a “kangaroo court” with no due process. . .

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rushed a vote to impeach President Trump and never afforded him due process to defend himself. There were no witnesses, no evidence and President Trump was denied the opportunity to defend himself.

Senator Lindsey Graham stated this House impeachment went through “without one witness being called and without a lawyer.”

Join me in demanding that the Senate stand against this destruction of due process in our nation. This mockery of justice should not be welcome by anyone in leadership of our nation.

Impeachment is divisive . . .

I can't think of anything more divisive for our nation than for the Senate to move forward with a Trump impeachment trial.

The Democrats, and some establishment Republicans, want to impeach Trump so that, in their words, he will not be able to run for office in the future. But once an office holder is no longer in office, impeachment is not an option.

This sham trial is really about YOU. Big Tech is trying to silence you and so are some career politicians.

This is outrageous!

Act now to get your fax into the offices and on the desks of senators to end this impeachment sham.

The fact is, in his four years in office, President Trump accomplished more for Israel than any President in U.S. history.He kept every promise he made to Israel, including withdrawing from the deadly “Iran Deal,” moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, recognized Israel’s sovereignty over her own land, defeated Islamic terrorists, and through the Abraham Accords fostered peace in the Middle East.

Former President Donald J. Trump deserves our thanks, not an illegal and unconstitutional kangaroo court. Please, SEND YOUR FAX TODAY!

We have many battles before us, including fighting a new Iran Deal, a Palestinian state, working to end terror and to further peace in the Middle East.

We need YOUR help! We cannot do this crucial work without YOU. Please, make your best possible donation today. Select here or the button below.
