If Trump should be impeached, then all presidents should

In 2007, Republican Rep. Walter Jones supported impeaching President George W. Bush. Some liberal Democrats joined him. In 2012, Jones supported impeaching President Barack Obama. Virtually no one outside of a few libertarian-leaning Republicans showed him any support. The issue was the same each time: the constitutionality of how presidents wage war. Jones’s case was fairly clear-cut, and this type of executive overreach is precisely the reason a parliamentary tool such as impeachment exists.

And no one cared.
