On this occasion, Trump threatened to commit more war crimes in Iran if Iran did not reopen the Strait of Hormuz to all maritime traffic, and this move was only in response to the joint Israeli-US attack on February 28.
Furthermore, a key point in the FSFP impeachment agenda is that “Trump has militarized and weaponized federal law enforcement, particularly U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ice), punish opposition parties, disrupt local communities, instill fear in civilians, and quell legitimate political dissent. “
What if Trump is impeached?
Impeachment proceedings are initiated when a president faces charges of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” (Article II, Section 4 of the United States Constitution).
The House votes on articles of impeachment, which are formal charges of misconduct. If approved by a majority of members, the president is impeached but he or she remains in office.
The next stage of the impeachment process involves a Senate trial. Debate continues over whether the Senate has a constitutional obligation to resolve the issue, but the Senate has held trials before. Members of the House of Representatives serve as prosecutors, the president of the Supreme Court serves as judges, and senators serve as jurors.
If at least two-thirds of the senators present vote for conviction, the president is removed from office and succeeded by the vice president.
Senate decisions may not be appealed to federal courts. After leaving office, former presidents may still face prosecution for alleged misconduct.
Reviewing the history of U.S. presidential impeachment
Only three presidents — Andrew Johnson (1868), Bill Clinton (1998) and Donald Trump (twice in 2019 and 2021) — have faced impeachment.
Neither Johnson nor Clinton were convicted, while Trump’s first impeachment resulted in an acquittal by the Senate.
When President Richard Nixon chose to resign from office in 1974, it became clear that he would be impeached by the House and possibly convicted by the Senate. Nixon was pardoned by his successor, Gerald Ford, for alleged misconduct.
