THE TRUMP IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATIONS, AND HEARINGS. PART 1.

As the Public Hearings on the possible Impeachment of DONALD TRUMP begin, you can count on the Political Hyperbole to run rampant, both inside and outside the U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. (Where the hearings are being held)

What we must do is ignore any POLITICAL GRANDSTANDING, BY EITHER SIDE, AND ASK THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

- WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE IMPEACHED?

-  HOW DOES THE U.S. CONSTITUTION LAY OUT
   THE PROCEDURES FOR IMPEACHMENT?

-  WHO ARE THE JUDGES, AND THE JURY, WHEN
    A DECISION IS MADE TO CREATE, AND PASS, THE
    "ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT?"

-  IF THE PRESIDENT IS "IMPEACHED," WHAT WILL
   THEN BE THE RESULT?

To begin, let us look at how "IMPEACHMENT" is DEFINED
 AND REFERENCED WITHIN THE BODY OF THE U.S.
 CONSTITUTION.

ARTICLE 1, SECTION 2, CLAUSE 5.
5: The House of Representatives...shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

ARTICLE 1, SECTION 3, CLAUSE 6.

6: The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

ARTICLE 1, SECTION 3, CLAUSE 7.

7: Judgment in Cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

ARTICLE 2, SECTION 4.

The President, Vice- President, and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

This is the sum total of the Information about "IMPEACHMENT" contained 

within the U.S. CONSTITUTION.

With that in mind, here is short introduction to get us started.

"IMPEACHMENT" is a process started by the U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, and is, INITIALLY, an INVESTIGATION, OR INQUIRY. It is an OFFICIAL FACT FINDING ENDEAVOUR, AND THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOUSE. NO ONE ELSE.

THAT IS IMPORTANT:
OTHER THAN HOUSE MEMBERS...
NO LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.
NO COURT.
NO OFFICE HOLDER.
ETC,... HAS  ANY OFFICIAL STANDING 
REGARDING A HOUSE INVESTIGATION.
The OFFICIAL WHO IS THE SUBJECT of the HOUSE INVESTIGATION
MAY OBJECT, BUT THAT HAS NO BEARING ON THE PROCEDURE,
OR THE OUTCOME.
