I don’t have time to write a long post, here, but an official attempt to impeach the president from the U.S. House of Representatives is not to be ignored. If you are interested in reading more, I get daily emails from Vox with a list of articles (and synopsis) covering major news and think it will give you a good start. 9/24/19
I highly recommend reading the last one. It’s titled: “The Ukraine scandal makes a stronger case for impeachment than the Mueller probe did" and is very well done. I found it extremely informative; I was on the fence, too. An important related article: "To beat Trump, try running an outsider - A veteran like Joe Biden risks letting Trump off the hook for corruption" by Matthew Yglesias More information. 9/25/19
Quote (Vox), If we allow the president to abuse his or her power, then our society will rot from top to bottom. We will turn into a banana republic, where people in positions of power — from the president all the way down to the traffic cop — will feel it’s O.K. to abuse their power with no consequences "Tulsi Gabbard, Last 2020 Holdout, Supports Impeachment Inquiry," subtitle: "Ms. Gabbard had opposed the inquiry as recently as Wednesday. With her shift, the 19 Democratic presidential candidates are unanimous in their support." [NYT / Maggie Astor]

Thanks! I'll definitely read the one from Vox by Zack Beauchamp. This is a really tough issue. Thanks for helping to clarify it!
