“…and bad government is defined by tyranny and chaos.” Chaos is exactly what the Left wants as well as assigning themselves the tyranny to spread it all while accusing their enemies of threatening democracy. And that is what they are doing in the courts. The devil is stirring chaos and confusion in our culture. I pray God allows Trump another four years to slow the descent of our democracy, but, ultimately, I subscribe to the biblical narrative that things will get worse. Man cannot save himself no matter how hard he continues to try. Thus, my hope is in the Lord. If Trump wins, it’s because God is merciful as he was to the Old Testament Israelites. If Trump loses, it’s because as a country, we have strayed so far from Him that He will no longer protect us as happened to Israel under Babylon and Persia. Nonetheless, in the end, God has a plan to save those who trust Him.

Thank you for such a clear article on the Constitution and our Founding Fathers, who were clearly guided by Godly principles and wisdom.

Rachel, while I respect your religious beliefs, you are now living in a country ruled by a legal Constitution of laws. Read it, if you don't like it, then leave. Christianity is not only religion protected under our nation's founding document (have you read it?!) and think that those of us who aren't so damned insistent on controlling the lives of our neighbors actually live much happier (i.e., less angry) lives than others. BTY, I'm sure that Jesus, like trump grabbed them by the pussy. You go ahead and vote for that charlatan in November, he will be defeated.

We must preserve our rights and keep our constitution in tact.

WTF, if you believe that than why do support a former president who tried to illegally insurrect our government? Are you stupid or just incredibly naive?

FYI, I have Italian heritage, it does not make me yearn to become racist. How the FUCK are you even a college graduate when you so eagerly view racist views and support a disgraced president who has clearly and repeatedly ingored the premier laws of our country for political advantage?! Your parents should be ashamed of you, as you should as yourself.

Yes, let the (un)Godly man who grabs women by the pussy and was impeached twice(!) for betraying our nation's constitution get another four terms as our Felon-In-Chief. Unf-ing believable that you people still support this completely amoral man and claim that he is godly! Open your damn eyes and actually use the brains that God gave you!

"President cannot be subsequently prosecuted for the same alleged misconduct if he has already received congressional acquittal. Otherwise, if the President is prosecuted again – subsequent to a congressional acquittal – that would be an obvious case of double jeopardy, which the Constitution expressly prohibits under the Fifth Amendment."

It would not be double jeopardy because it is not a legal prosecution. Though impeachments try, somewhat, to a least appear to follow a legal process it is not: it is a political process. It is neither a criminal or civil trial. As Democrats showed in the first impeachment, the President did not even have the simple, basic rights of any defendant in a criminal or civil trial. The impeachment was built on hearsay evidence and the accused, President Trump, never faced his actual accuser.
