Trump Thinks He is King - Prove Me Wrong.

When America was born, all political claims to omniscience were banned outright, all citizens were equal under the law (except the slaves), none were above it, and all elected officials, no matter how indispensable, were disposable.
These are the core principles that made the United States the first nation-sized republic in modern history, and now the oldest.
Within the bright rays of light cast by this historical legacy, the core issue at stake in the current impeachment debate is the claim made by President Trump's own lawyers.
Trump's chief offense is his own defense. Namely, that as president he cannot be indicted, convicted or investigated, and has no legal obligation to provide documents or witnesses when requested by the House or Senate.
That means President Trump is claiming he is a elected monarch who is above the law.
The specific charges related to Ukraine, while significant, are only one example of a more abiding pattern of behavior that President Trump has never tried to conceal; indeed, his most devoted supporters find it beguiling; and his own lawyers have made it the foundation of his defense.
