TRUMP IMPEACHMENT

[Carsman]

Impeachmment does not always translate to "get/taken out of office".

Quickly comes to mind, Bill was impeached, but he remained in office.

Yes,I had to look this up, too as i always thought impeachment meant to "kick out of office." The House recommends/files for the impeachment, and the Senate votes on it, but in Bill Clinton's case, the impeachment process was never completed because there wasn't the required ²⁄₃ majority vote.

The latest gossip is that Donald has asked for an extension for his upcoming trial (for the faux University scam). He wants to wait until after he becomes President. This itself defies all logic...We have to wait for Pres elect to complete all his upcoming trials for felonies and one of his party's quips was "lock her up." Oh, and reason Donnie wants to wait until after he is President, is so he can pardon himself. Also read he doesn't want to live in Washington, D.C. I think he is flabbergasted that he is going to be President and wants the office, but someone else to do the work, and that appears to be Pence...then we have Guilliani, Palin, demoted Christie, Newt Gingrich, and some wonder why we are scared.....I know this probably belongs in another thread, but I am having pain in my hands so I am using "easy" button whenever possible...

Yes I'm also scared that the Trump that got himself elected by outrageous showbiz antics, will not change his personality enough to fit the office of POTUS! I sincerely hope he does, he'd better for all our sakes!



Researched Title 3 of the U.S. Code, which covers the Presidency, and here's what is says:

First, there is no law directly requiring the President to live in the White House. Although, it has always been customary.

However, the law authorizes the President to have a staff "in" the White House: 3 USC section 105(b)(1) says that the President may "appoint and fix the pay of employees in the Executive Residence at the White House."
A number of other laws say that the President may appoint White House staff, White House assistants, White House advisors, etc.

Likewise, 3 USC section 102 gives the President the right to use the furniture and other items in the White House. If the President did not at least USE the White House, he would not have the necessary equipment at his disposal to do all his official duties.

Therefore, if the President wants to have a staff and advisors and all the equipment it takes to be a President, the President had better live in the White House, as a practical matter.

So while Trump doesn't have to live in the White House (and Presidents certainly don't have to spend every night there), the law makes it clear that the White House is where the President needs to be to do his job efficiently.
