I’d like to point out that while it should be illegal to turn the US military against citizens of the US- it also should be illegal for a rapist, a traitor, and a twice impeached criminal to become elected.
What gets me is that if he had to apply for even a basic security clearance like any other shlub, he would get denied because of his ridiculous web of debt and undue influence, even back in 2015/2016. But he can run for the highest office of the land and have access to the country's most sensitive info if he wins?
That's because the United States government classification system is not a single law like the UK's Official Secrets Act. In the US we use a mixture of Executive orders and 5 or 6 different laws each covering different specific areas.
I’m not well versed in the structure of the american political system.
Did he actually get impeached twice or was it just raised for a vote twice?
Just to be clear on the definition, "impeached" doesn't mean "removed from office". To say someone was impeached just means that the House held a hearing.
Clinton was impeached even though he wasn't removed and completed his term. Same with Trump, though it happened twice.
Nixon was NOT impeached since he resigned before the house could open hearings.
He actually got impeached twice. Never got voted out of office though.
