43. I just noticed
something in your reply:'constitution that MANDATES congress impeaching'
While the issue of a 'mandate' is debatable(depending on the definition of Shall,imo).The whole basis of whether or not we are a nation of laws makes it imperative that impeachment proceedings occur.

In post 10 you used the words 'Constitutional imperative'.Was that intentional or a slip of the tongue,so to speak.Either way I think you may have confused some of us,resulting in this little flame war that has erupted.
