While I have continually thought that impeachment of the President and Vice-President was an appropriate means to address the horrendous distortions of the executive powers to the point that the Constitution is seemingly meaningless, I have tried to rain in my personal views in light of those who say that it will serve no immediate purpose (cf. Nancy Pelosi's statements that impeachment is "off of the table").
However, John Nichols adds fuel to my personal biases.
The issues at stake are so serious that leaving them "off of the table" will reinforce the idea for future inhabitants of the White House to think that these behaviors are acceptable.
For the sake of the future of our Constitution, I agree with those who advocate impeachment of both the President and Vice-President!!
