If the President of the United States were accused of accepting bribes while in office what power does Congress have to bring ch

Y_Kistochka [10]

The United States Constitution provides that the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" ( Article I, section 2 ) and that "the Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments…[but] no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present" ( Article I, section 3 ). The president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States are subject to impeachment.

The concept of impeachment originated in England and was adopted by many of the American colonial governments and state constitutions. As adopted by the framers, this congressional power is a fundamental component of the constitutional system of “checks and balances.” Through the impeachment process, Congress charges and then tries an official of the federal government for “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” The definition of “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” was not specified in the Constitution and has long been subject to debate.

In impeachment proceedings, the House of Representatives charges an official of the federal government by approving, by majority vote, articles of impeachment. A committee of representatives, called “managers,” acts as prosecutors before the Senate. The Senate sits as a High Court of Impeachment in which senators consider evidence, hear witnesses, and vote to acquit or convict the impeached official. In the case of presidential impeachment trials, the chief justice of the United States presides. The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict, and the penalty for an impeached official upon conviction is removal from office. In some cases, the Senate has also disqualified such officials from holding public offices in the future. There is no appeal. Since 1789, about half of Senate impeachment trials have resulted in conviction and removal from office.

Historical Development

In The Federalist , No. 65, Alexander Hamilton wrote that impeachment is "a method of national inquest into the conduct of public men" accused of violating the “public trust.” Hamilton and his colleagues at the Constitutional Convention knew that the history of impeachment as a constitutional process dated from 14th-century England, when the fledgling Parliament sought to make the king's advisers accountable. By the mid-15th century, impeachment had fallen into disuse in England, but in the early 17th century, the excesses of the English kings prompted Parliament to revive its impeachment power. Even as the Constitution's framers toiled in Philadelphia in 1787, the impeachment trial of British official Warren Hastings was in progress in London and avidly followed in America. Hastings, who was eventually acquitted, was charged with oppression, bribery, and fraud as colonial administrator and first governor-general in India

The American colonial governments and early state constitutions followed the British pattern of trial before the upper legislative body on charges brought by the lower house. Despite these precedents, a major controversy arose at the Constitutional Convention about whether the Senate should act as the court of impeachment. Opposing that role for the Senate, James Madison and Charles Cotesworth Pinckney asserted that it would make the president too dependent on the legislative branch. They suggested, as alternative trial bodies, the Supreme Court or the chief justices of the state supreme courts. Hamilton and others argued, however, that such bodies would be too small and susceptible to corruption. In the end, after much wrangling, the framers selected the Senate as the trial forum. To Hamilton fell the task of explaining the convention's decision. In The Federalist , No. 65, he argued:

The Convention thought the Senate the most fit depository of this important trust. Where else than in the Senate could have been found a tribunal sufficiently dignified, or sufficiently independent? What other body would be likely to feel confidence enough in its own situation, to preserve unawed and uninfluenced the necessary impartiality between an individual accused, and the representatives of the people, his accusers?

There was also considerable debate at the convention in Philadelphia over the definition of impeachable crimes. In the early proposals, the president and other officials could be removed on impeachment and conviction for "corrupt conduct," or for "malpractice or neglect of duty." Later, the wording was changed to "treason, bribery, or corruption," and then to "treason or bribery" alone. Contending that "treason or bribery" was too narrow a definition, George Mason proposed adding "mal-administration" but switched to "other high crimes and misdemeanors against the state" when Madison commented that "mal-administration" was too broad. A final revision defined impeachable offenses as "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

The Necessity of Change.

When you are a student and supposedly you have everything you need, life is easy. Since my early years, there were no lacks. Food, education, clothes, even gifts, and vacation every summer.

My Dad had a very nice position in a government office and every Christmas, the tree was surrounded by presents. Real, expensive presents. That being the case, I thought I was a successful young man. My ideas were good, my grades were good and my opinions were right. How it could be the other way if I had everything I needed and much more.

Time went by, and during the second semester of College, different things changed my life. But especially one. Yes, differences with other students made me lost what I considered friends, thinking, of course, they were wrong and I was right. My arrogance showed disrespect to other people that had less, and I had problems with teachers that did not think as I did. My marks reflected those problems.

One night, we had a party. There was this girl with all the attributes to be considered Miss America. And yes, believe it or not, she was humble and friendly. Every boy in campus was expecting her arrival. But she didn’t appear. All of a sudden, the music stop. The guy from the house asked for silence while he was speaking on the phone. Yes, the bad news. Cecile has had an accident in the highway. She died.

How? A friendly girl that had everything that life can get you? She was smart, humble, pretty, she had great marks and even a job in the Fashion business with a great sum of money to guarantee a wonderful life…..and now she was gone. I was devastated.

As soon as I got home, my dad was in the dining room with mom. He had been fired by the new government administration. If I wanted to go on with College, I needed to get a job or financial aid.

In a sudden change of live events, I was in trouble, sad, confuse and angry. I cried and screamed at the top of my lungs why these things happen. I really lost my mind for a week, but those quiet moments in my room gave the time to reflect on my life and I learned a beautiful lesson. I needed to change. Not only that, I had to be considered to other people situations and show respect for their lives and opinions.

If you do not change on time, life presents you with the situations that force you to change. And it is much better to prevent, to take the first step. One day I had everything and I was on top of the world, and the next day I was alone, my father was looking for a job, a was looking for one too. No car, no friends and some debts.

That was a hard lesson to overcome.

Fortunately, one fellow student extended a hand. Yes, a man that I offended one time offered my a job in his dad’s company. My friends ignored me. The help arrived from where I did not expect it. How about that?

From then on, I tried to be respectful all the time. And when things get complicated, I look for different options. The First one, is a question: do I need to change something in my life?

Yes, the necessity of Change. Don’t allow it to be imposed in your life. Take the first step.
