Letter to the editor: Impeachment & the Constitution

Many constitutional scholars believe that the Democrats, with their never-ending efforts to impeach President Trump, are unwittingly creating a constitutional crisis of potentially monumental proportions, one that could ruin our cherished way of life.

The heart of our Constitution relies on the separation and balance of powers among Congress, the president and the Supreme Court. So, if either political party is able to impeach a president with a hidden agenda and a collection of contrived, unproven accusations, then the balance of power, and our constitutional republic, could be disrupted at its core, even brought to a standstill.

And, our mainstream media is so effective that when they report only one side of critical issues like the impeachment of our president, the citizens are easily misled.

Our Founding Fathers never intended impeachment as a replacement for free elections.
