Our federal government has three parts. They are the Executive, (President and about 5,000,000 workers) Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives) and Judicial (Supreme Court and lower Courts)
In the current environment, the democrats are the party with the majority in the house of representatives(legislative branch) and they are using that political affiliation against the opposite party which has control of the executive branch, republican President Trump.
So the objective is not to work together for the American people as designed by the founding fathers. It's a pure power play with the house trying to usurp the power of the executive branch, which was Constitutionally determined by our democratic presidential election of 2016. More importantly to the dems, making pre emptive strikes to see that he doesn't win the 2020 election.
There were no impeachable high crimes of course and if you look at the polls of American for and against impeachment, they line up extremely close to the election results of 2016. This is powerful evidence that this is purely political and those that want him out of office right now/impeached are the exact same ones that wanted him out of office in 2018, 2017 and did not vote for him in 2016.
This means the rest of the country does not believe that he committed impeachable high crimes. Yes, they are biased Trump supporters that voted for him in 2016 but that is the point. We are taking constant polls on whether people think Trump should be impeached or not. The independent voters of course may change their minds(which is the objective( but the dems are demonstrating the greatest abuse of political power in our country's long history..........by a wide margin. And the rest of the world has been watching.
Ironically, one of the charges is "abuse of power".
So let's compare President Trumps abuse of power request to Ukraine (there was no quid pro quo) to investigate legit corruption in his country because he knows it will find VP Biden being naughty. We know that if it had been VP Pence doing the same thing, this request would not have been made. It would not have been needed because if Pence had done it, all the MSM and Washington swamp would have been all over it and Pence would be out for the count but regardless, Trump did this.
The comparison is to what the house is doing. The most powerful action that the house can take is to impeach a president. Maybe you could say declaration of war or something like that but on votes for that, you will ALWAYS find bi partisan support............ALWAYS, 100% of the time or they would not even vote on it if it was for war and 1 party was in 100% opposition.
in this realm, there is nothing close to the level of gravity of impeaching a president which was intended to be used only in extreme circumstances, viewed in bipartisan fashion by the founding fathers.
Nobody thinking clearly believes that this is not purely political. The entire fraudulent scheme set up with the whistle blower in contact with Schiff a month before it became public(and he lied about it) was enough to prove that.
Nobody thinking clearly believes that a president should be impeached for asking a foreign country to look into actual corruption(remember, he was not making stuff up like the Mueller investigation did-17 different significant times- Trump asked for a legit investigation) because it involved corruption of the party he is running against.
At least half the presidents in our history used their power to go way, way beyond an attempt to get an investigation started that would hurt their opponent.
How many times has the house blatantly abused their power to the max, in a 100% partisan effort to destroy the president of the opposite party with the "death penalty"' impeachment?
We can site Clinton's impeachment. Clinton lied under oath and did some naughty, verifiable things like witness tampering that would have resulted in charges in a real court, so there were actual crimes vs no crime for Trump but that was another embarrassing, dumb, partisan display of our government not working and complete waste of time and money.
Outside of that other example, this is by far the most outrageous example of an abuse of power by the legislative branch/house in our country's history to target a political opponent.
