I) Historical Context: The Constitutional Convention

On September 8, 1787, George Mason rose to ask his fellow delegates a question of historic importance.  Mason asked, “Why were treason and bribery the only grounds in the draft Constitution for impeaching the president?”  Treason, he warned, wouldn’t include “attempts to subvert the Constitution.” After a sharp back-and-forth with fellow Virginian James Madison, Mason came up with an additional category of impeachable offenses: “other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Americans have debated the meaning of this decidedly open-ended phrase ever since.

“It is indispensable that some provision be made for defending the community against incapacity, negligence, or perfidy of the chief magistrate. The limitation of the period of his service is not a sufficient security. He might lose his capacity after his appointment. He might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers.”

“The Executive will have great opportunities of abusing his power…particularly in time of war, when the military force, and in some respects the public money, will be in his hands.”

“A good magistrate will not fear [impeachments]. A bad one ought to be kept in fear of them.”

“What was the practice before in cases where the chief magistrate rendered himself obnoxious? Why, recourse was had to assassination in which he was not only deprived of his life but of the opportunity of vindicating his character. It would be the best way therefore to provide in the Constitution for the regular punishment of the Executive where his misconduct should deserve it, and for his honorable acquittal when he should be unjustly accused.”

I most agree with the reasons stated by E. Gerry, MA, because
1)If you actually done something bad then you should be scared
2) if you didn’t then you should have nothing to worry about

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons stated by E.Gerry ,MA. I think this because if your a good magistrate you should not be scared of getting impeached. Also if your worry about getting impeached you know your job is at risk because your not confident about the situation.

I mostly agree with the reasons G.mason because it talks about his consequences of doing these things and what should be treated/fairness.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons stated by E. Randolph, VA because he explained how someone in the office would abuse his power during the time of war. And because of when he states that the president will have many opportunities to manipulate his power, which leads him to have the right to be impeached.

# data[].attributes.body
I understand G.Mason the most because it talks about punishments and fairness.

I agree with G because one that how some impeached president act they think their above the law that they can break it which out any justice and will keep doing it because of guilt.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons stated by E Gerry ma because he has done really bad things in his life time

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with G.Mason,VA because if the president makes a mistake then he should get a consequence because just because he’s the president that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get a consequence because that wouldn’t be fair. Also just in general that wouldn’t be fair because everyone gets a consequence so why not the president.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with george Madison rose, MA. I agree with him because if you Do something bad like bribery to be a president you should get impeached. That means that you just cheated.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with E. Gerry, MA

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with E. I agree with E because they made a point if your a good president you shouldn’t have to fear impeachment or anything bad happening now if your a bad president you would have to worry about things like these happening .

I agree with B. Franklin, PA because I believe that it states good facts about how the president show deserve his punishment.

I agree with J. Madison,VA because she’s talking about how people can earn power and then just abuse it.

# data[].attributes.body
I mostly agree with E. Gerry, MA because a good magistrate wouldn’t be scared of impeachment if they didn’t do anything bad and if you’re a bad you should have fear because of the bad things you’ve done.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with e because it’s the best option

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with E. Gerry MA because he gives a couple statements that a bad one should live in fear of impeachment and that makes sense because of what Donald trump did. I also agree with the other statement that if he is innocent then he should not be at all afraid of the court case.

I think the government we’re vague because one they didn’t really no how impeachment really should gonna be like two they really don’t want it to happen so that’s why it so vague.
Q2 The house and the senate are similar because they both have the power of impeachment.

# data[].attributes.body
The founding fathers include the vague term, high crimes and misdemeanors because the president is supposed to prevent crimes and keep the country safe at all means. The roles of house and senate are similar and different because, they both decide whether or not the president should be impeached.

# data[].attributes.body
The founding fathers included the vague term “high crimes and misdemeanors” because there are many things that they could possibly accuse Donald J. Trump of.

# data[].attributes.body
1. They included that section because people can accuse the president of doing many crimes and bad things.
2. The similarity is that they both work together to find out if a president should be impeached or not

# data[].attributes.body
1.

1)The founding fathers included the vague term “high crimes and misdemeanors” because some of the crimes that they did were very serious but also small,  either way they shouldn’t get away with any crimes. They could also be unsure whether the crime that  the president did is a huge crime or a misdemeanor.

2)The roles of the House and Senate are similar because they work to together to find out if a president should be impeached or not. And, if they don’t work together to impeach a president, then a president could commit serious crimes without any consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
1: the father included that because some presidents might start crimes and be bad at there jobs so that’s why they were like crimes and misdemeanors.
2: the roles of the house senate are different because the senate tells us what to do and we follow and we give them ideas and we do it.

# data[].attributes.body
1They included the “ high crimes and misdemeanors” because there were crimes that were very bad and some that were not so bad also to see if the president should still have the job.
2 They are similar because they work to find out if a president should be impeached.

# data[].attributes.body
They used those terms because people who are more superior think they can abuse their power.

# data[].attributes.body
The founding fathers used that vague term to understand that crime of the high rarity should be punished sufficiently by impeachment to a guilty president. House of Representatives and the senates jobs are similar because the house can impeach and the senate can put a president on trial for impeachment.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the father’s include the Vague term of  “high crimes and misdemeanors”  because it probably shows example of what you can do as a president to get a impeachment.

# data[].attributes.body
1. They included vague in high because they didn’t really know what impeachment go like and prevent crimes.

2. And the roles of the house and senate because to find out president should be impeached or not.

# data[].attributes.body
The difference between the House and the Senate is that the house impeached the president but the senate takes the impeachment a step further.

# data[].attributes.body
1) The founding fathers include the vague term "high crimes and misdemeanors" because some presidents has done bad crimes.

2) The House of Representatives has the power to impeach a president and the senate has time type of power of impeachment.

# data[].attributes.body
1. They had said that and created it because they probably did it and did not want nobody else running or future president would not do it
2. The House of Representatives has the power to impeach a president and the senate has the power to take them to court

# data[].attributes.body
They included this part because some presidents have went against the law .
