I) Historical Context: The Constitutional Convention

# data[].attributes.body
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.

“[If the president] should be re-elected, that will be sufficient proof of his innocence…[Impeachment] will render the Executive dependent on those who are to impeach.”

“Shall any man be above justice? Shall that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice?... Shall the man who has practiced corruption, and by that means procured his appointment in the first instance, be suffered to escape punishment by repeating his guilt?”

“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.”

# data[].attributes.body
“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.”

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

# data[].attributes.body
“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 G. Mason, VA because he brings up the fact that no man should be above justice/ the law, and he says that those who think that they are above the law, tend to think that they are so high and mighty so they need to know that they need to be punished SEVERELY.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons stated by G. Mason because he shows no man should be above the law. For example, he states, “Shall that man be above it who can commit the most extensive injustice...,be suffered to escape punishment by repeating his guilt?” Another example is, “Shall any man be above justice?” These show how he is showing how not any many should be above any of the laws.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons by stated by G.Mason, VA because he states the questions that people mostly agree with and I understood him the most. Also I love how we said no man should be above the law and I fully agree with that. No one should be above the law, even the president.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons stated by G.Mason, VA because no one should be above the laws, if you commit a crime. You should be punished, no one should escape a crime because you’ll never know if he is gonna do it again.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons stated by E. Randolph VA because his reasons are very true because Presidents will abuse their powers of being above everybody and true where it happens in the time of war, and military force.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with reasons stated by E. Randolph,VA because he has said or has written what trump has done in the present, and that is a lot because he is in the past.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons stated by E. Randolph🧢 because the person being impeached (🍊)  because he could abuse his power and use it to start WORLD WAR 3🤡🧢

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with G. Morris because it is logical sense if the president is impeached and then elected it means that they convinced people again but also the people.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with G. Mason because nobody can be above justice just because you can’t really be over the law. If you do something that can be considered corruption, there’s no way to escape it, especially if it’s clear that you did it.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with G. Mason because he believes that no man should be above justice and he thinks that the more powerful someone ism the more easily they can be corrupted.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with G. Mason, he explains how no man should be above the law, above justice, saying that if there was a man above the law they would repeat their selfish acts.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason that I agree with the most is stated by E. Randolp because they state a clear point. Which is that the man in power can abuse that power for benefits for themselves and state that a person who thinks they’re above everything (law, justice system) shouldn’t be the person who should be fit for that job/responsibility.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with G. Morris because if they was to re-elect there would be less problem another reason why I agree with is because re-electing will proof innocence

# data[].attributes.body
I mostly agree with G Mason because he has good reasons as to why he should be impeached. Also his statements are fair and reasonable because he talks about how it’s fair if no one is about the law which I agree with and the others did not touch on that, so that’s why I agree with G Mason.

# data[].attributes.body
I most agree with the reasons stated by E. Gerry, MA : because a good president has nothing to fear because he has the ability to keep the country balanced and in peace, while a bad president has something to fear about because he/she is in risk of impeachment which the president cannot control the chaos or the cost of keeping the country in peace then more like pieces.

I most agree with G. mason because nobody can be above justice just because you can’t be over the law. Also because  as mory said “you are not the father. Awwwwwwwwahhhhhhhhh”

# data[].attributes.body
The reason I disagree with the reasons stated by E. Gerry because is claim doesn’t really show that much evidence of the impeachment of a president and really much don’t understand when he said,” A good magistrate will not fear [impeachments]. A bad one ought to be in fear of them”.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with George mason because him saying “ other high crimes and misdemeanors “. means something very important to the community of politicians .

# data[].attributes.body
The founding fathers included the vague term “high crimes and misdemeanors” because some of the crimes they did were very serious and some of the crimes they did were small, but they aren’t getting away with any crimes. They could also be unsure whether the crime the president did is a huge crime or a misdemeanor.
The roles of the House and Senate similar because they work to together to find out if a president should be impeached or not. This idea upholds the idea of checks and balance because if they don’t work together to impeach a president, then a president could get away with some serious crimes.

# data[].attributes.body
The founding fathers may have used the vague terms of “other high crimes and misdemeanors” because people with A LOT of power may think that they are above the law.
The roles of the house and the senate are similar because they both have a say, but they are different because the Senate can challenge but not exactly make an inquiry.

# data[].attributes.body
Founding father included the vague term  “high crimes and misdemeanors” because he did something that’s really big and illegal. The roles of house and senate are similar because they work together to see if the president will be impeached or not. This uphold the idea of checks and balance.

1.The founding fathers may have included the vague terms “high crimes and misdemeanors” because people with high power may have thought they could have did bad things and get away with it.

2.

1. The founding fathers used that term because they thought that people with a lot of power thoughts they can get away with everything.

2. The house are the people that confirm the impeachment and the senate are the people who see if it makes sense to impeach someone.

# data[].attributes.body
1) Why the founding fathers included the vague term “high crimes and misdemeanors” is because it’s states in Article 2 Section 4 is that presidents shall be removed from office due to impeachment. Stated by the founding fathers.

# data[].attributes.body
1). Because his crimes are unclear and are hard to prove🤡
2). I don’t know😔

1) The founding fathers might’ve included the vague term “high crimes and misdemeanors” to show that they’ve committed severe crimes and need to be punished for it, but to me that’s pretty unclear.
2) The roles of House and Senate are different because I think House is supposed to

1.) the founding fathers were trying to give us the option to make something out of this very big idea

2.)

# data[].attributes.body
‘They used the term “high crimes and misdemeanors”  because they wanted to show us that in this situation it was a big deal.’

# data[].attributes.body
1) The founding fathers because what Trump did he had did high crimes and misdemeanors that had harmed his role in the high office
2)The House of Representatives and the Senate is similar because they both have the sole power  of impeachment. But is also different because the senate is sitting for that purpose and they shall be on oath or affirmation. Once the president of the USA has tried, the Chief Justice shall preside. And no person can be convicted if 2/3 of the members is not there.

1) I think that impeachment is to weak/ vague because how would be in charge.

# data[].attributes.body
They included these words to shows us how Bad it was

The founding father included the vague term because they wanted to make a sense of rules that is expected of the person with power to follow.

high crimes and misdemeanors” is because it’s states in Article 2 Section 4 is that presidents shall be removed from office due to impeachment.

I think they added the phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Founding fathers included the vague term  “high crimes and misdemeanors” because there are crimes that are more worse then others.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe impeachment is being fired because when Donald trump got fired he got kicked outta office ju heard me son 👹👡

# data[].attributes.body
For question 1 my answer is maybe because what they did was maybe serious or maybe kinda small but didn’t get away with them.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with E. Randolph, VA because being president is having a lot of power, and it's a test to see if you will slip up or keep under control.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Because a small crime is still a crime.
2.????????(I don't really have a knowledge on government stuff(srry))

# data[].attributes.body
I think impeachment is just right because it can take the president off his/her job if they do something bad.
