      "If Trump would take his acquittal by the Senate as vindication of his behavior, what conclusion would he and future presidents draw from the House’s refusal to impeach him for it in the first place?" Great piece by @fordm:https://newrepublic.com/article/154001/democrats-overthinking-trumps-impeachment-naturally …

      This is a serious question about future presidents and deserves some thought. @YAppelbaum @fordm Assume we're talking about a party-line vote (plus Amash) in the House, followed by a straight party vote or worse in the Senate. That's what it looks like now. (1/ ) https://twitter.com/YAppelbaum/status/1131957575019376640 …

      The points you make here need to be taken seriously. I'm still left with the fact that if Trump doesn't receive any punishment for what he's done (just on obstruction let alone emoluments) then it seems like there is no check on presidential misconduct.

          It’s fucked up, but since a Trump win in 2020 is plausible, and a Dem Senate and House equally plausible, there is some small argument for holding off. Nixon was impeached after getting re-elected too.

          That's true. The House needs to act. The question is which are the best tools.

          Censure. What the Republicans should have accepted for Clinton.

          One important variable is that Senators DO NOT want to take this vote. Collins, Gardner, Murkowski, Tillis, McSally, etc are terrified of the consequences of holding this vote.

          Yes. It seems like using impeachment power at all in future will be impossible. It becomes a dead letter. Now, it may already be so, due to polarization and 2/3rds vote in senate. But to not even attempt to impeach the absolute worst norm- and law-breaking president is a thing.

          IMO, it does just seem that way. It'll be that way. After all, what would it take if not this? Especially on #EmolumentsClause violations because they're so egregious.
