do you think that presidents should be immune from being removed from office?
The U.S. Constitution states that a president can be impeached (i.e., charged with a crime) and removed from office for “treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Over the years, presidents have been impeached; however, no president has been removed from office. Given the potential for politicizing the impeachment process, except in cases of treason and capital crimes (e.g., first-degree murder), do you think that presidents should be immune from being removed from office? Explain why or why not.
