Yesterday, a Republican Senator (Cornyn, Texas) spoke and suggested that since a sitting-President was being pursued for impeachment.....there was no reason in two years (suggesting the Republicans would recover in the House, and the Senate)....to pursue past Democratic Presidents for issues.
Even dead Presidents? Well...he didn't suggest that, but I noticed in social media that even that question came up and no one saw a legal stumbling block to say they were living or dead.
Now, an average guy sitting there would pause over this suggestion.
Yes, we could actually draw up paperwork and go after President Jackson, President Roosevelt (both Teddy and Franklyn), and even President Obama. In fact, you could repeat this act every year.....going after virtually every single President.
The odds of this happening in 2022? I'd say less than 10-percent...mostly because I see a 5-Senator advance with the Democrats.
The problem for the Democrats.....we all got kinda used to this continued use of impeachment now. It really wouldn't take much to start this retaliation business. In fact, you could ease Senators, House members, and federal judges into this mess very easily....removing three or four each year, just for entertainment.
It's a messy affair but we don't seem to have any limits anymore.
