How To Impeach The Judiciary Committee

Improved Essays
An article written by John Kates preliminary to the article read by the reader at this moment had unrealevent information. The title of this article is “Time to impeach the Judiciary Committee” and it states as follows: “On March 16, certain members of the Senate stated openly that they do not intend to follow the Constitution ...a willful act to ignore the Constitution ...is contrary to the principles of our republic. Neither Rigell nor Forbes is on the House Judiciary Committee. But Rigell represents me in the House, and Forbes has stated his intention to run for the House seat. I want both of them to reaffirm their support of our Constitution and initiate a call for impeachment proceedings against McConnell; U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee; and any other members of that committee who are hindering the process of selecting a Supreme Court justice as mandated by our Constitution.” Recently John Kates wrote a letter regarding the alleged unconstitutional acts of our Senate Judiciary Committee. …show more content…

    He states that the Preamble to the constitution does not mention anything about judges or politicians, but it invokes what should be true and ultimate authority in American government (“Our Broken Constitution,”). Toobin uses influential people such as former president Obama as examples of different perspectives of the constitution. Toobin also includes many other professors or lawyers’ thoughts throughout his piece. This gives the reader multiple perceptions to choose from other than someone’s one-sided opinion. Unlike Bierschbach’s article Toobin’s piece would reach a vaster audience.…

    Chief Justice John Marshall, Judge of McCulloch v. Maryland, warned that this could undermined the enumerated powers. This could be prevented with the insertion of a new provision to Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17. This provision should state, “Congress must state in each bill it passes the Article, Section, and Clause of the Constitution to which the bill relates.” The Constitution of the United States of America gives Congress many powers,…

    Before attending the lecture The Other Publius: John Jay’s Constitutional Movement, presented by Jonathan Den Hartog, I had never heard of John Jay. In my high school AP American Government and Politics class, I had read and analyzed a number of James Madison’s Federalist Papers including his most important (#10, #39, #51); however, I never read John’s Jay’s contributions to the Federalist Papers. The lecturer spoke about topics surrounding the farming and ratification of the Constitution and the strategies that leaders used during this time period. John Jay was born in 1745 in present day New York City. He was present at the 1st and 2nd continental constitutions.…

    Hudson’s proposals on the judiciary systems are overreactions. Hudson claims the Supreme Court is undemocratic and undermines the Congress. His solution is to eliminate the judicial review altogether and only appoint the elites. I do not agree with the amendment offered by Hudson, "Except as authorized by Congress, no court of the United States or of any individual state shall have the power to review the constitutionality of statutes by Congress or by State legislatures" (Hudson, 98). This solution, offered by Hudson, would give more powers to Congress.…

    In American history, impeachment is a rare case, with only 3 U.S. Presidents, Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Bill Clinton having gone through the impeachment process. In Jewish history, Moshe was “impeached” by God, and albeit different circumstances, was put through a similar process. To be impeached is to accuse or charge a public office holder, or in Moshe’s case, a leader, with a crime. Although only 2 U.S. presidents have been impeached; 17 other federal officials have been successfully impeached. All presidents or leaders that have been impeached committed a crime, but was it justified?…

    Mr. President, it has come to my attention that Congress is considering impeachment due to your refusal to enforce certain provisions of several laws signed by previous presidents.

The arguments that will be discussed in this memo are to be used when you address the country to explain your position. In the oath of the president of the United States reads, “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the president of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States.”…

    Federalist Alexander Hamilton regarded the Constitution as the fundamental law, which is superior to any state statute, and as a limited Constitution. In Federalist Paper Number 78, Hamilton argues that the Supreme Court should have the authority to invalidate acts of Congress that are deemed unconstitutional, and that if there is a variance between the Constitution and a law passed by Congress, federal courts have the responsibility to follow the Constitution. Paper Number 78, having been cited in thirty-seven Supreme Court opinions as of April 2007, has had an immense influence on the debate regarding the interpretation and application of the Constitution (Coenen). Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is an advocate of textualism, arguing that the meaning of the Constitution lies in the words of the document, and that the Constitution should be regarded in favor of its “original meaning”. Justice Stephen…

    When election season starts coming around every four years, there are many different aspects to planning out how to proceed and how to win, when it comes to the candidates or the President of the United States. Most of the time they base their campaigns on winning over their party population whether that be Democratic or Republican. But what happens when this candidate gets elected? Are their best interests in the people or in their own endeavors? Political scientist Morris P. Fiorina makes three claims about the elected candidate and us citizens; that the President will act in greed and self-interest in order to get power, that they will want to be re-elected in the next term, and if we, as voters, get along with the party of the President,…
