Is President Trump “Sick of Mind?”

As reported by The Hill, former New Hampshire Republican Senator Gordon Humphrey wrote the following statements in a letter to New Hampshire Democratic Senator Ann McLane Kuster:

“Donald Trump is seriously sick. He is dangerous. As a citizen, former U.S. Senator, and twelve-year member of the Armed Services Committee, I urge you to act [at] once. Donald Trump is impaired by a seriously sick psyche. His sick mind and reckless conduct could consume the lives of millions.”

Impeaching a President

Apparently, Humphrey does not understand the impeachment process. For starters, in order to impeach a President, he must be guilty of “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” This is mandated in Article Two of the Constitution. However, nowhere in the Constitution does it state that a President can be impeached for controversial language.

Humphrey’s rhetoric followed as a result of President Trump’s statements that North Korea would be “met with fire and fury like the world has never seen” if they continue threatening America. Despite Humphrey’s aversion to this statement, it does not merit impeachment.
