Behind closed doors, something very important is happening in our democracy. I would suspect that aside from people who follow redistricting, many are unaware of both the process and outcome of redistricting. I do think everyone would argue for a “fair” process.
The United States Constitution says very little about redistricting, except for some limited references in Article 1, Section 2. In the third paragraph of this section, a process for enumerating the population of the states to determine the number of seats that each state would have in Congress is described this way: “Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this union, according to their respective numbers.” Basically, this describes the census process that takes place every 10 years, and why states take census gathering so seriously.

Impeachment. Recently, this term has become part of everyday conversations. Perhaps a review of the Constitutional meaning is in order.
Impeachment has been used very little in the history of the United States. It is prudent to reflect upon the original words contained in the U.S. Constitution related to Impeachment.
