    Legal merits aside, spending years accusing Trump of treason, bribery, & collusion and then impeaching him for none of those things *but including an article on obstruction of Congress* as one of the 2 charges seems like disastrously inside-Beltway politics.

        I do not see how "abuse of power and obstruction of Congress" is a better idea for selling this to the public than "abuse of power." But then, several of the articles against Andrew Johnson never even came to a vote once the strongest charge failed.

        The obstruction count does not include any charge of perjury, witness tampering, anything like that. It's literally just "you refused to cooperate with our investigation of you." Knowing you lack the votes in the Senate, why include this? Who is the man-in-the-street audience?

        Let's face it, a lot of people feel that (1) Trump was elected, basically, to give Congress the finger & (2) Trump has no obligation to help anybody investigate him. I don't endorse those sentiments, but this is not the hill to die on.

        If I was a Democrat, I'd likely support impeaching Trump *precisely because impeachment under these circumstances is an exercise in political messaging.* The House can, if it likes, use impeachment to make a case of presidential unfitness ahead of an election. But then sell that!

        Not one vote is going to change to Trump's detriment next November by accusing Trump of refusing to help Congress remove him from office. I just don't see the political rationale.

        Not a whiff of Mueller. Just extraordinary.

        Isn't it the President's job to obstruct Congress, to throttle them? He gets to sign or veto their legislation, can challenge them in court. Checks and Balances, man!

        It was not legal for Trump to stop those funds from going to Ukraine. The congressional budget and impoundment control act of 1974 requires a president to come to congress to request rescinding appropriated funds.
