Our United States Constitution successfully established three branches of government, legislative, executive and judicial, that are equal in power. That important document also provided the impeachment process, managed by the House of Representatives and Senate in the legislative branch, to ensure that the Constitution is followed.
Currently there is a lot of press coverage about the impeachment process being taken on by the Democrats. The Democrats cannot invoke the articles of impeachment. That responsibility and the action being taken is by the House of Representatives. The press should clearly identify that the House is taking the action, not a political party.
Yes, the Democrats control the House, but the action is by the House, not the Democrats.
