The Constitution Speaks Loud and Clear on This

   Utah Senator Mike Lee, co-chair of President Trump's reelection campaign in Utah, says the President has done nothing that is impeachable.
   Yes, Senator Lee is considered an expert on the Constitution, so I wonder how he reconciles the Constitution specifically mentioning bribery.  "The President . . . shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for . . . Bribery . . ." 
   If we believe in upholding the highest law of the land, if we believe our leaders should be honorable, and if we believe that bribery is wrong, we will listen to the Founding Fathers. They felt strongly enough about bribery that they placed this in the Constitution. Back then, there probably wasn't a quid-pro-quo litmus test on what constituted bribery. They knew wrong was wrong and bribery was wrong, period.
  If we uphold the Constitution, we must consider gravely on the charges against President Trump.  If we find that going by the standards the Founding Fathers had, then it was bribery, then our allegiance to the Constitution and our faith in the Constitution give us little choice but to impeach the President.
