Be it resolved, Donald Trump has committed high crimes and misdemeanours
President Trump is standing trial in the Senate charged with using the powers of his office to pressure a foreign government to investigate a political rival for personal benefit. Many see Trump’s actions as meeting, in spirit and substance, the founder’s definition of an impeachable office or “high crimes and misdemeanours”. The President’s defenders believe that this is anything but the case. They see Trump’s contact with the Ukrainian government as similar to countless interactions of other US presidents with foreign heads of state. For the president’s defenders, impeachment is a blunt political weapon which threatens to permanently damage U.S. democratic institutions.
