<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If there is one thing you can count on in American politics these days— as reliably as the morning sun — it is that Democrats will never tire of impeaching President Trump. For them, impeachment is not a constitutional mechanism of last resort. It is more like a hobby. Democrats collect impeachment resolutions like some folks collect stamps.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And again (or is it, still?), congressional Democrats are talking about yet another impeachment or two – subjecting the country to a political sequel of a bad movie.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In terms of impeachment, let us take a stroll down memory lane.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>The first impeachment</strong>, back in 2019, was sold as the constitutional showdown of the century. Democrats insisted it was a solemn, somber moment — though the souvenir pens they handed out at the signing ceremony suggested otherwise. The charge? A phone call with Ukraine’s president that Democrats claimed – after several rounds in the political spin machine &#8211;was an abuse of power. ; They said that Trump tried to blackmail Ukrainian President Zelenskyy – military aide for dirt on Hunter Biden. They made that claim even thought Hunter’s highly suspicious activities in Ukraine had national ramifications for the United States.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Of course, everyone in Washington knew the GOP-controlled Senate would never remove Trump. Democrats knew it. Republicans knew it. The Senate parliamentarian’s dog knew it. But the show had to go on. Hours of hearings, dramatic speeches, and left-wing cableânews hysteria. Rather quickly, the historically lumbering Senate acquitted Trump — exactly as predicted.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Then came the second impeachment</strong>. This one was truly groundbreaking — not because of any evidence of a crime, but because it was the first impeachment in American history brought against a President who was no longer President. It was like firing an employee who had already quit and left the building.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Democrats insisted it was necessary for “accountability” – at least a black mark on Trump’s legacy. ;  ;Critics correctly called it political theater of the absurd. And once again, everyone knew the Senate would not reach the twoâthirds threshold for removal — especially since Trump was already out of office and therefore not &#8230; removable. ; The second impeachment was pure politics, but why let constitutional limitations get in the way of a good press conference?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Impeachment: A NeverâEnding Saga</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What many people forget is that impeachment talk did not start in 2019. It started the day after Trump won the election in 2016. Literally. Democrat members of Congress started filing Articles of Impeachment bills before Trump had unpacked his boxes in the Oval Office. No evidence needed. No investigation required. The mere fact that he won the election was sufficient grounds to impeach him.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since then, impeachment has become a kind of reflex. Stock market goes up? Impeach Trump. Stock market dips? Impeach Trump. A hurricane forms in the Atlantic? Well, you get the idea.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Fastâforward to today. With Trump back in the White House, some Democrats are once again revving up the impeachment machinery. Editorial boards, commentators, and activists on the left are floating the idea with increasing enthusiasm. And if Democrats win the House in 2026, the odds of another impeachment surpass the 50/50 mark.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not because it would succeed. Everyone knows it would not. Even if Democrats controlled both chambers, they would still fall far short of the twoâthirds Senate vote required for removal from office. The math simply is not there. It is like claiming to win the lottery with a ticket you forgot to buy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But removal from office has never been the goal. That was never in the realm of possibility. ; The claimed reasons were too weak.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Grounds for Impeachment</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To rationalize past impeachments, Democrats said that Trump abused power and acted illegally. ; That is not a fact, but a political opinion rooted in bias and obsessive hatred. It is not the role of Congress to determine presidential abuse and illegality. That is the role of the Supreme Court. ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The only requirement for impeachment is the desire of a majority in the House to enact it. ; In theory, presidents could engage in actions so dangerous that removal from office would be necessary, but that has never happened. No past impeachment has led to a conviction and removal by the Senate. ; ; Nixon was never even impeached. ; He resigned before impeachment. ; It is likely he would have been impeached, but it is far from certain that the Senate would have removed him from office. ; They never do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Political Theater Masquerading as Constitutional Duty</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Impeachment, once a rare and grave constitutional tool, has been transformed into a political stunt — a messaging device, a fundraising hook, a way to rile up the base. The Founders envisioned impeachment as a last resort against “high crimes and misdemeanors”. Today, it is more like standard operating procedure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The tragedy — or comedy, depending on your sense of humor — is that the more impeachment is used as a political weapon, the less meaningful it becomes. When everything is an impeachable offense, nothing is. The word loses its weight. The process loses its legitimacy. And the country loses its patience.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is arguable– based on history – that every past impeachment only strengthened Trump politically. The first two impeachments did not weaken him. ; They energized his supporters. A third attempt could do the same. Yet the impulse persists.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It is as if some in the party simply cannot imagine a world in which they are not drafting Articles of Impeachment. It has become part of their political identity — like a security blanket with subpoenas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">If Democrats regain the House in 2026, another impeachment is not just possible — it is probable. Not because it would remove Trump. Not because it would change his policies. But because it has become a ritual. A performance. An obsession.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">And that is the saddest part of all. Impeachment was meant to be a constitutional safeguard. Instead, it has become a recurring political sideshow — one that cheapens the process, divides the country, and accomplishes nothing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So, there ‘tis.</p>

Democrats Talking Impeachment… AGAIN?
