…means something different to…well, Republicans:
Comer's critics worried that he set the bar too high for impeaching Biden by suggesting they must prove the president personally benefitted from his family's foreign business, saying that evidence might not actually exist, and Republicans have been pressing him to lower the threshold to show that he engaged in "abuse of power" by taking no action to stop his family from trading on his name.Not sure how that’s an “abuse of power,” or a “high crime and misdemeanor,” but no Constitutional theory allows the judiciary to review the actions of the House in impeachment.
Personally I think we need a more parliamentary system, or some method to rein in a rogue President (Trump) that doesn’t rely on waiting until the next quadrennial election.
Or we can just lower the standard to “the House is Republican and the POTUS is a Democrat.” Which is where we’re going already.
