Impeachment: An Overview

The process of Presidential Impeachment is intended to be a political safeguard for the people and the US government to prevent being taken advantage of by anyone in office. The process is hundreds of years old and has been reinvented to fit the United States’ unique democracy. Its consideration as an addition to a limitation of the President was a subject of passionate debate in the construction of the Constitution.

But people, in nature, are also gregarious and, like any other animal, inclined to want to reproduce. There is, then, an inherent desire to be in proximity to one another to increase the odds of finding a mate and people to socialize with. For these reasons, even while living in the state of nature, humans have lived near one another, but have worked for eons to try and create the best system of government that would work for all. The reason man left the state of nature Locke points out that “it is an unfair way of life if the de...
