Letter to the editor: On impeachment, let system work

On impeachment, let our system do its job

On the impeachment hearings: We need to let the system work. If President Trump, his staff or personal attorneys have done things they’re accused of, and if he violated his oath of office, they should be punished. We need to go by the Constitution.

A lot of people see Trump as cleaning out the swamp, but we the voting public have to do that; no one man or woman can. Our president has a history of lying, cheating and using people to his own end. Thay may be fine in his personal business, but not in the Oval Office. Yes, we have had other presidents who have done questionable things, and some have been placed in front of Congress.

There are many questions that need answered. Republican and Democratic leaders, just let the system work. Remember, you work for us as whole; party lines should be secondary.
