Change The Constitution. Make Impeachment Votes Secret Ballot.

Hello Flash,



And if he were removed from office his words would become moot. A removed president would not be given the respect of a current or other ex president. He would be the disgruntled fired worker. With a secret ballot the fear of retribution would be removed because nobody would have to know how each Senator voted..

So you're saying that the people who voted for these senators (that are supposed to represent them) shouldn't know how their representatives voted? Pathetic communist...

When deciding on guilt or innocence, the decision should be made based on the evidence of the case, not somebody who is worried about reelection.

It is now obvious what must be done.

Politics must be suppressed at a time when the nation needs justice.

PoliTalker, It’s my belief if the rules of each congressional chamber required a formal response to every bill passed on to them from the other chamber, the house resolutions in both presidents’ Clinton and Trump’s cases would have been censure rather than impeachment resolutions. In both cases, because it would require the U.S. Senate's formal responses, censure would have been of no less embarrassment to the presidents' and their political parties. Respectfully, Supposn

Should there be a feasible and less severe congressional option rather than impeachment and dismissal?

Is one chamber of the U.S. Congress required to vote (with or without a recording individuals’ votes), in response to every bill passed by the other chamber? Unlike a bill of impeachment, Can't the Senate ignore an act passed by the House? I’m uncertain, but I don’t believe the chambers are required to respond. …
… If the Republican House in Clinton’s case, or the Democratic House in Trump’s case, were less firmly convinced that the presidents were acts were fully to the extent of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” or less firmly believed that ignoring those acts would seriously undermine our current or future national government, it would have been preferable that the House would have had an option less extreme than a bill of impeachment.

If each chamber’s passed on bills could require the receiving chamber to discuss among themselves, and return each of their member’s yes or no responses along with any written comments they wish to make, wouldn’t the U.S. Congress be more accountable to the nation? …

Hello cawacko,



Assume there is a way to do the vote so that each Senator may vote either way, only once, and the tally will not be recorded. Suppose they are all issued just one ballot. Check it either way, fold it and one by one, upon being called come forward and drop one ballot into the box. The number would be carefully counted to ensure no extra votes or none missing.

Polimoron, you're such a fcktard! Not only do you make yourself the enemy of America by demanding the legislator vote in secret, but you're such a fcking moron that when you try to explain how a secret ballot can be done, you just reveal you have no fcking idea, even at a most basic level, how our public elections work. Hint, there's no need to carefully count the number of ballots to see if there are extra or missing votes.

If that were done it would wreck McConnell's life.
