Turning to the second concern, the betrayal of the power. The america people suffered when President Trump treated military aid that had been approved, tax payer dollars and tried to treat it as his own checkbook to further his own reelection chances. That reflects what the founders were concerned about. Finally corruption of our elections. The framers knew that corrupt leaders or leaders acting corruptly concentrate their pow powers to manipulate elections and under cut adversaries. They talked about it frequently. Thats why the framers thought it was a critical abuse and could support and lead to impeachment. The American People learned last election how dangerous foreign intervention in our elections can be.
