Why the American People don't know how to fix the problems!
As an everyday person, not lawyer, not politician, I often ask myself while listening to the arguments on both political sides why no one has taken the steps to remove those they find at fault from office.
Ask yourself, do you know how to impeach the President of the United States?
Do you know how to remove your Senator or House Member?
What about your Governor? Town Auditor?
Probably not, and if you try to find the "steps" to hold your "target" accountable by established procedures, it wont be easy.
Try www.house.gov and do a search for "impeachment". Do you find the exact procedure? No.
Try www.senate.gov - Same Result!
Try www.google.com - Better yet don't - you'll get more confused than I did!
I've taken weeks to try to find a simple method to get started if I needed to, but wanting the facts in front of me, I found it almost impossible. That doesn't mean I'm giving up, just that I'm going to use "multiple sources" such as writing to the media and having anyone that looks at this blog to chime in and help me post the correct procedures. If this average American is having a hard time finding the facts, those that hold our offices know this also, and that's what worries me the most. If they know it takes lots of research and work to start the process most will just give up and live with what they have elected. No matter which side of the fence you fall on, the American voter holds the reins on government and we need to know how to pull them!
Looking for your input. Thanks
