Impeachment is on the table if the Democrats take Congress in the November midterms, according to the party's leadership. Still, they're anything but irrationally exuberant about removing President Donald Trump from office. "I think it's very likely predictable how everyone would vote," Sen. Brian Schatz (D–Hawaii), the likely Democratic whip, grumbled to CNN's Inside Politics on Sunday. Impeachment's "not a panacea," adds Rep. Jamie Raskin (D–Md.), who'd be chair of House Judiciary if the Democrats win the House; it's "one more tool in the toolkit, and we will use it if we need to use it." Meanwhile, Trump and his congressional allies are mulling a contrary scheme to get the president un-impeached. According to a recent Wall Street Journal report, the president has spoken to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R–La.) about getting his two first-term impeachments "expunged," and Alan Dershowitz is on the case. As usual, when Trump floats a bizarre new legal scheme, the first question is: "Can he do that?" A better question, for those of us who care about presidential abuse of power, is whether symbolic impeachment fights are the best use of our time. As to the first question, there's actually some precedent for this odd gambit. It involves one of Trump's favorite presidents, fellow rageaholic Andrew Jackson, whose portrait now hangs prominently in the Oval Office. In 1834, Sen. Henry Clay (W–Ky.) led the Senate fight to formally rebuke "Old Hickory," after the president, in the fight over the Second Bank of the United States, fired his Treasury secretary and rebuffed a Senate demand for information justifying the move. The censure resolution, which Clay shepherded to passage, read that "the President, in the late executive proceeding in relation to the public revenue, has assumed upon himself authority and power not conferred by the Constitution and laws, but in derogation of both." Naturally, Jackson's first inclination was to challenge Clay to a duel. When his temper cooled somewhat, he instead issued a lengthy protest of the Senate's action. Three years later, with Jacksonian Democrats back on top in the Senate, he had his allies vote to expunge the censure from the Senate records. A clerk black-lined the censure motion in the Senate Journal and scrawled "Expunged by order of the Senate" on the page. But the original censure is still clearly visible. What, besides a useful factoid for D.C. bar trivia, can we… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
