      Many of the allegations against @POTUS are serious and should be taken seriously, especially by members of Congress.

      We should allow Robert Mueller to complete his investigation and issue his report before taking any action potentially affecting the president’s tenure.

      Based on the deliberations of the Framers of the Constitution and Federalist No. 69, I believe that a sitting president should not be criminally prosecuted. Before facing ordinary criminal liability, he first would have to be impeached, tried, convicted, and removed from office.

      We don’t impeach simply because we dislike a person or disagree with his policies. If you’re unhappy about @POTUS, then don’t vote for him in 2020. The electoral process should determine who holds the executive power.

      Impeachment proceedings are a quasi-legal, quasi-political process reserved for situations that present substantial evidence of egregious wrongdoing by the officeholder.

      Impeachment is equivalent to a grand jury indictment. If the House votes to impeach someone, that is not the same as a finding of guilt; it is merely a finding of probable cause that the accused has committed an impeachable offense.

      Upon impeachment by the House, the Senate conducts a trial. Only here does the vote represent a finding of guilt. While there is reasonable disagreement about the proper burden of proof, I believe that a very high standard must be met to overturn the results of an election.

          I hope that we don’t get to this point, but I think it’s important, given recent news, that members of Congress share their thoughts on this matter with the people they represent.

          Thank you Justin. I would discourage the use of the phrase “overturn the election”. Hillary, nor any other Democrat would become president upon a conviction

          You just hit the nail on the head. The goal never was to find collusion, or even to punish someone for a crime— The goal all along has been to overturn the results of a legal and fair election. The will of the people be damned.

          I was with you until the “high standard” point. Preponderance of the evidence should be good enough to force someone out of any office. Higher standard is reserved for criminal trials.

          I agree the best tonic for Americans might be to vote him or ourselves and right our own wrong but I have a couple doubts about the legitimacy of this election and do not believe a president under active investigation should get a SCOTUS pick.

          The only problem I see with this thread from you, for whom I have great respect, is that over the last 2 years the other @GOP Senators have shown that they don't have 1 scintilla of your morals. I don't trust any of them to put country over party.

          An impeachment is not "overturning the results of an election".

          It may be attempted to be used that way, but we clearly have an unfit individual in office right now. If you don't support impeachment, you don't support the country.

          If the president is impeached, who becomes the president? A: The other candidate on the ticket that won the same number of electoral votes. Don’t see how it’s overturning an election. Possibly could argue for other offices where succession is different but not the presidency

          Impeachment is not about "overturning the results of an election." Impeachment is about removing an office-holder who has disqualified himself by breaking the law.

          But what if the "high crime and misdemeanor" changed the outcome of said election? Serious Question - I would be curious your take. Can a President be held criminally liable for rigging an election that made him President?
