This is how stupid the GQP has become... Where the hell does the power to "expunge" an impeachment come from in the constitution?

Oklahoma GOP U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Markwayne Mullin Tuesday is introducing a resolution to expunge former President Donald Trump's first impeachment – saying Democrats didn't prove "high crimes and misdemeanors."

Mullin's nine-page resolution, if passed by the House, would declare "expunged" Trump's 2019 impeachment over allegedly leveraging U.S. military aid to Ukraine for political favors involving investigations of the Bidens. It accused Democrats of "flippantly exercising one of the gravest and most consequential powers with which the House of Representatives is charged."

"Impeaching a sitting president is the most serious action Congress can take, and our Constitution is extremely clear on what is an impeachable offense. Democrats abused our Constitution for their political gain, manipulating a perfect phone call with a vulnerable nation," Mullin told Fox News in a statement about the resolution.

"We cannot allow this behavior to go unanswered. And we are seeing in real time what being behind the eight ball actually looks like for US support to Ukraine," Mullin added. "My resolution is about restoring credibility to the impeachment process and ensuring a political play like this never happens again."


 
Once again this party receives a high dollar pay package every month for this behavior.......the party displaying crap for brains.

How quickly they forget that the clinton impeachment was pure politics. Trump on the other hand is nothing more than a con man.

Expunge an impeachment. Just like the gop, don't like the rules, make new ones. Brought to you by the party of smaller government.
