I have yet to see Trump "governing by decree". Most of what he's done has been to cancel Obama's decrees. Or, from another point of view: Why should Trump be impeached for "governing" by decree (notwithstanding my first comment) when Obama got away with it for eight years?

What are these "impeachable offenses"? Signing an executive order directing the enforcement of a policy which our previous president signed doesn't seem all that bad to me. Neither does using executive orders to cancel out a former president's executive orders.

President Trump has not committed any impeachable offense. And I won't read a Huffington Post article, so I was hoping you could let me know what at least one or two of the supposed offenses were.

SPC Jill Drushal, RN, MA - The article doesn't explain anything. The article is written by a butthurt lib who is simply fantasizing about getting rid of Trump.

We heard an awesome silence from the Huffington Post on Barack Obama's clear violation of Federal immigration law by Executive Order and his pardoning of felons convicted of possessing firearms and a convicted terrorist bomber. Crickets could be heard in their editorial offices when Obama's Justice Department failed to prosecute Hillary Clinton and Obama pardoned Private Manning for disclosing classified information by the megabyte.

So far, Trump's done none of those things. He issued an executive order three or four Federal judges had issues with. I"ll stand out on a limb and say the US Supreme Court will rule the Trump Administration was enforcing Federal immigration law and on solid legal ground with that executive order and that its legal defects are minor ones.

As far as the "emoluments clause" is concerned, would Hillary Clinton, as a principal in the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation be guilty of accepting multi-million dollar donations from foreign sources, some of them either Russian or business partners of Russian concerns like Rosatom who stood to profit if Mrs. Clinton failed to protest the sale of Uranium One to Rosatom while Secretary of State? It's worth noting that 55% of those donations were earmarked for "overhead", so that Mrs. Clinton had a considerable pecuniary interest in each ruble donated to the Clinton Foundation.

Anyone saying Donald Trump is "impeachable" is deflecting attention from eight years of impeachable offenses by the Obama Administration.

I find it amazing how we as veterans can see clearly how both Democrats and Republicans play each other and cry foul or a violation when it doesn't suit their candidate or party. How can we take sides when it is us who in the end may end up paying the ultimate price when we take to battle? Whether liberal or conservative, we must be vigilant to ensure that those in government service carry out what will benefit all Americans regardless of party. One team, one fight. Enough of the bickering between parties. Both parties have had their share of blunders and mishaps and one cannot point to one without taking a close look at the behavior of their party over the years. I am not a Democrat nor Republican, I am an American who served my country regardless of who was in office and I will vote for whomever has America's best interest, but I will never take sides and be involved in high school bickering such as I have been seeing over the years.

SGT (Join to see) - And I'll be the first one to say it when Donald Trump ever abuses his power in an impeachable fashion. One reason I voted for Trump is that the various members of the press are vying to be the first person to catch him breaking the law. We've already seen that they'll stand for any amount of law-breaking by Hillary Clinton, as they did in the recent election. Almost no one in the press reported on her violations of Federal law as such - now there's "The March to Impeachment" when nothing impeachable has yet been done. I prefer a government in which the press is vigilant for wrongdoing, not actively helping the wrongdoers to cover it up. So - let's stop bickering and stick to the provable facts. Thanks for your service, and reminding us all that the first task of all Americans is our allegiance to the nation in which we live.

I agree. As I stated before, both parties can be found guilty of breaking one rule or another. I also voted for Donald Trump because he was the lesser of both evils. I have no love for Hillary Clinton, but we cannot ignore the bankruptcies that have plagued Donald Trump throughout the past decade. It's amazing how a soldier with bad credit or bankruptcy may find it difficult to obtain a secret clearance, but one can become Commander in Chief regardless of how many bankruptcies he has had. Just saying. One team, one fight.

People in both parties were shown by "60 Minutes" to be buying stock (or "puts" on stock) because they knew when a company's stock would go up or down and no one else did.
