Unmasking the GOP’s Anti-Impeachment Stance: The Surprising Revelation From Ken Buck’s Op-Ed

Ken Buck, the Colorado Republican Congressman, penned an op-ed on November 13 in which he outlined his reasons for why President Donald Trump should not be impeached. The unsparing piece has raised many eyebrows, and Buck himself has been criticized for his forthright stance.

In the op-ed, Buck makes the case that although the President may have committed acts that are inappropriate, they do not rise to the level of an impeachable offense. He makes the point that the American people elected Trump as President and they should be the ones to decide whether he should remain in office. According to Buck, “the voters should decide.”

Buck goes on to say that a “toxic political culture” exists in Washington D.C. and that impeachment would only exacerbate the situation. He also opines that impeachment proceedings would be damaging to the country and could even cause civil unrest.

It is clear that Buck is attempting to make an argument for why Trump should not be impeached. He is making the case that impeachment should be reserved for acts of high treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors that are specifically outlined in the United States Constitution.

The article stirred considerable debate in Washington D.C. and beyond. Buck’s position has been viewed by some as an attempt to protect the President from impeachment, while others have argued that it is simply a statement of political reality. Whatever the case may be, Buck’s unsparing op-ed has certainly gotten people talking.
