Robert Ray: The Framers Did Not Want Impeachment To Be Turned into a Political Weapon

‘To remove a president from office, that’s an extraordinary thing’

EXCERPT:

RAY: "And it’s sort of an irony that you would cite Alexander Hamilton for the reverse proposition, since Alexander Hamilton in our history, there was no greater proponent of executive power and a concern about making sure that there was plenty of room, a very wide berth for the exercise of executive power. Sort of ironic that Adam Schiff would be citing Alexander Hamilton, I think somewhat out of context. Alexander Hamilton well understood the limits of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
