farther back than e jcpoa, which i personally support and believe offers an opopportunity, thehe possibibilf moving u.s.-iranian relations to a more positive track. that possibility has now been completely discarded by this president. nermeen: professor, i want to go to an issue that you have raised with respect to what you're talking about now, namely what restraints exist, constraints exist, on the exercise at presidential power when it comes to the decision to wage war. in an "l.a. times" opinion piece headlined "trump's soleimani strike is more of the same old losing u.s. game plan in the mideast," you wrote -- "the democratic members of the senate and house who whine about not having been consulted or at least notified in advance of the drone attack that took out the quds commander deserve not a respectful hearing but contempt. their behavior over the past decade and more in giving presidents a free hand to wage war however they see fit cannot be described as anything but cowardly. it was, after all, president obama who pioneered the role of assassin-in-chief to which trump has now laid claim." th

u.s. constitution ensures that no one is above the law, not even thehe presidedent. >> for the fouounding g fathersf the united states, protection against abuse of power was written into the constitution before they even defined the contours of the presidency. their solution, impeachchment. of the two section four constitution lays out the grounds for impeachment, treason and bribery as well as other high crimes and misdemeanors. the offense does not nececessary have to be a crime. any grave act or pattern of unethicacal behavior could suffice. with aness starts with investigation historically led by the house judiciary committee. lawmakers debate and lay out the grounds for impeachment followed by a vote on the charges. if the articles of impeachment are approved, they move onto to the senate for trial. if at least two thirds of the senators find the president guilty, he is removed from office without the ability of an appeal. in this case the vice president would take over as president. a 235 to 198d majority in the house. in the senate, republicans hold with two5 majority independents.
