I am truly perplexed by how conservatives have flipped flopped on what constitutes an impeachable offense. According to conservatives, what was impeachable yesterday isn't impeachable today! Truly sad...

In the case of Bill Clinton, he was convicted of perjury. That is an impeachable offense. It wasn't the best idea to try to impeach him, censure would have been better. Trump has not been convicted of any impeachable offense. Like it or not, it is pretty much a given that politicians lie. If we got rid of every politician who has lied, we would not have anyone in government.

Congress has no Constitutional authority to censure a President. It is impeachment or nothing.

According to liberals what was not impeachable yesterday is now impeachable today even if you have to make it up. Truly pathetic and dangerous.

Shouldn't have to have any authority to censure. Just write a letter to the President telling him he has been a naughty boy and he needs to quit that.

He could use the letter to fire up his yule log.

Congress can pass a non-binding resolution about anything that the majority may choose.

Any such resolution has no force of any kind, and may be neither vetoed nor overturned.

Obstruction of justice has always been impeachable, and what is refusing to release anything congress has asked for? The house still does not have the unredacted Mueller report or the underlying documents listed in it.

McGann is one of the dozen obstructions listed in the report
