Firmage EdThe Presidency
It’s a sad commentary on our politics that such an obvious necessity as impeaching the worst President and Vice President in history is also so unlikely to happen. But yet we must try. We can do this thing, once we realize that impeachment results in resignation, and hardly ever culminates in a long drawn out battle in the Senate.
Similarly, when we talk of bipartisan politics once more, so necessary in impeachment, and understand that this is seen as equally unlikely to happen, regardless the goal. For example, Ron Paul on the Republican side, and Dennis Kucinich of Democratic persuasion would make such a spendid team. Bipartisan as well. Perhaps we might consider, someday, a return to voting separately for president and vice president, not as today, with one vote determining a ticket; but distinctly voting for a “vice president,” not as in the eariest time, the second-place candidate for president becoming vice president. A nice ticket, Paul and Kucinich. But it won’t happen. The early primaries will decide the final four or five candidates remaining.
