IV. Conclusion

The Article of Impeachment presented by the House is unconstitutional for a variety of reasons, any of which alone would be grounds for immediate dismissal. Taken together, they demonstrate conclusively that indulging House Democrats hunger for this political theater is a danger to our Republic democracy and the rights that we hold dear.

Reasons for dismissal include:

1. The Senate of the United States lacks jurisdiction over the 45thPresident because he holds no public office from which he can be removed, and the Constitution limits the authority of the Senate in cases of impeachment to removal from office as the prerequisite active remedy allowed the Senate under our Constitution.
2. The Senate of the United States lacks jurisdiction over the 45thPresident because he holds no public office from which he can be removed rendering the Article of Impeachment moot and a non-justiciable question.
3. Should the Senate act on the Article of Impeachment initiated in the House of Representatives, it will have passed a Bill of Attainder in violation of Article 1, Sec. 9. Cl. 3 of the United States Constitution.
4. The allegations in the Article of Impeachment are self-evidently wrong, as demonstrated by the evidence including the transcript of the President’s actual speech, and the allegations fail to meet the constitutional standard for any crime, let alone an impeachable offense.
5. The House of Representatives deprived the 45thPresident of due process of law in rushing to issue the Article of Impeachment and by ignoring its own procedures and precedents going back to  the  mid-19thcentury.  The lack of due process included, but was not limited to, its failure to conduct  any  meaningful  committee review  or  other  investigation,  engage  in  any  full  and  fair consideration of evidence in support of the Article, as well as the failure to conduct any full and fair discussion by allowing the 45thPresident’s positions to be heard in the House Chamber.  No exigent circumstances under the law were present excusing the House of Representatives’ rush to judgment, as evidenced by the fact that they then held the Article for another 12 days.
6. The Article of Impeachment violates the 45thPresident’s right to free speech and thought guaranteed under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.
7. The Article is constitutionally flawed in that it charges multiple instances of allegedly impeachable conduct in a single article. The Senate should dismiss these charges and acquit the President because this is clearly not what the Framers wanted or what the Constitution allows.
