Impeachment

On Tuesday, a Democratic congressman vowed to force the House of Representatives to vote on POTUS Donald Trump's impeachment.

Representative Al Green of Texas intends to bring articles of impeachment against Trump following discussions with party members.

Communicating his intentions to colleagues, Green wrote: "For too long, we have allowed our civility to prevent us from confronting the invidious incivility of President Donald J. Trump."

"In doing this, hatred disguised as acceptable political correctness has festered in our body politic and polluted our discourse to our detriment."

"It divides and damages the social fabric of our country in ways that obstruction of justice cannot. It causes unparalleled destruction to our society in the long- and short-term that will not easily healed."

Green's intentions have raised concerns among other Democrats, however, with some arguing that the move may be premature and ultimately work against them.

The House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, has publicly opposed the idea.

If you're of an awkward disposition and can't bear to watch people embarrass themselves on national television, we suggest you sit this one out.

If, however, you love nothing more than watching people spout absolute nonsense when approached by someone with a microphone, sit back and enjoy what Jimmy Kimmel has to offer this week.

As part of his long-running Lie Witness News segment, Jimmy had his reporter ask the good people of LA if Hillary Clinton should be impeached.

That's right, impeached… despite the fact she doesn't have a job to be impeached from.

And what did they say?

Well, let's take a look here….

UCD Student Union President, Katie Ascough, was the subject of intense criticism last month following her decision to remove information pertaining to abortion services from the university's magazine.

Katie, who is pro-life but pledged to facilitate the SU's pro-choice stance upon election, argued that providing the information was illegal, and her decision to remove it was based solely on legal advice.

Katie's decision was not supported by other members of the Student's Union, and as press attention around the issue intensified, a petition was created to call for her impeachment.

However, it has been confirmed that despite amassing more than 1,600 signatures, the petition has been rejected by Returning Officer Stephen Devine because it did not contain a section which allowed students to provide their signatures.

As the number of people who petitioned for her impeachment exceeded the number who elected her, those calling for her impeachment have stated they will address the omitted signature section, and re-submit.
