This week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed two articles of impeachment against President Trump. The first for abusing the powers of his office and the second for contempt of Congress. The president will not be convicted by the United States Senate, but that doesn’t clear him of his offenses against the nation and the pillars of our republic.
Not a day has passed since Trump’s inauguration that he has not done or said something that beggared the imagination in terms of presidential behavior. As a political novice, and an intellectually uncurious one at that, Trump came to the White House with no understanding of, and no concern for, the constitutional strictures of his office or the laws of our land.
