Donald Trump Should not be Impeached: Change my Mind

Ah, I see I did not make myself clear enough. Again, Impeachment under high crimes and misdemeanors is a subjective catch-all category. There is no specific behaviour that allows for impeachment under this category and it purely up to the discretion of congress. Hence any president may be impeached for any range of behaviours, Ranging from blowing his nose at the wrong moment, To shooting a person in broad daylight. The argument, Then, Is not whether Trump has specifically committed any action that mandates he must be impeached, But whether he has committed any action or has any characteristics such that one might reasonably conclude that he should be impeached for (and to convince voters of that). I made my previous points that President Trump is impeachable based upon his abuse of office and competency as president. I argue that being a "good" president is an excellent metric for impeachment as I see impeachment akin to being fired from a job. 1. To make the situation more clear, Americans work and pay taxes, With the reasonable expectation that those taxes will be collectively used to improve their lives for example in terms of roadworks, Healthcare or schooling. A portion of those taxes are already set aside for the use by the President. However another portion of those taxes are spent at his businesses. Those taxes would've otherwise been spent to improve the lives of Americans, Instead they now enrich President Trump. This is clearly an abuse of office as he is receiving funds he has no right to. 2. You'll note that my argument consisted of more than sexual assault allegations, Hence why I said that you did not contradict me. Because the negation of a part is not the negation of the whole. His conduct overall is poor and unbecoming of POTUS. And of course, He is still overwhelmingly disliked as a president. 3. It is a fact that global perception of American has gone down and that many relationships have been marred in the course of Trump's presidency. This shows that he is incapable of effective leadership, Especially with other leaders of the world. 4. It is not an issue of how often it is done, It is an issue of it being done at all. The two examples of this are Ivanka Trump, Advisor to the President and Jared Trump, Senior Advisor to the President. Both clearly do not have the requisite qualifications or experiences and hence this is an abuse of office. 5. But how is not excessive golf play dereliction of duty? I understand your attempts at justifying, Normalizing and rationalizing his behaviour. Unfortunately, Your justifications fall flat in the face of objective truth. Donald Trump is a poor president. However it is not enough that he is a poor president, He has abused his office and besmirched its dignity. Based on these facts, I think President Trump should be impeached.

So I take it that con has conceded the debate since he is not arguing that Trump is impeachable, But rather about whether he is a good president. So I guess this debate has metamorphosed into whether he is a good president, Which I will go along with. Now onto the arguments. 1. So what If he didn't give up his businesses? Why would he? You are acting like thriving a business and gaining money is a bad thing. He actually passed on his businesses to his sons. 2. Yes it does. Just because an allegation is made doesn't make it true, So until proven, It should not be counted toward his conduct. He is becoming more popular, Like I said, The approval rating for him is going up. This is why he won the election in 2016, And why he will be re-elected in 2020, Mark my words. 3. I feel like you expect him to have world peace already. Some leaders are corrupt, For example, Canada is ripping us off with tariffs and all that, So what is he supposed to do? Don't act like Obama or some other president obtained world peace, Obama was the one who paid Kim millions of dollars to get back a couple refugees. Trump didn't pay him a penny, And got more back. 4. Nepotism- Very rarely does he do it, Or if he does, It is like a substitute teacher when it is for a short period of time. I don't think he had hired his family members to specific positions. 5. Work ethic- Whatever, He likes golf. All the SJW's always pick on him. He is getting stuff done, Which is all that matters. Conclusion- nOnE oF tHeSe ThInGs ArE iMpEaChAbLe.

"No, He is using to build the greatest economy and lowest unemployment rate we've had in years. " How does this relate to his self-enrichment? How has his self-enrichment built the greatest economy and lowest employment rate? "Trump has denied most sexual assault allegations. They also can not be proven. He is innocent until proven guilty. Trump's approval rating by many communities, Including the blacks, Has risen dramatically. " None of this contradicts my point about his conduct or his popularity "Foreign relations: You are wrong on this one. Trump has prevented possible nuclear bombs from North Korea, And built a great relationship with Kim Jon Un. With Russia, He has made progress with Putin. I would say he is doing a great job actually. " You have mentioned Russia and North Korea. Without establishing the truth of what you've said, Note that my point was made about countries globally, Not specifically Russia and North Korea. Some of my examples may include the countries that comprise the EU, Mexico, Canada, China and African nations. I note you've ignored some of my other points (nepotism and work ethic). Please respond to them.

President Trump has not divested himself from his businesses. When utilizing locations owned by the Trump Organization, Taxpayer money is funneled into his pockets.

To be clear, Impeachment is based upon convictions of Treason, Bribery or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors. The later category serves as a subjective catch-all for undesirable behaviour. Hence outside of proven and convicted cases of Treason or Bribery there is nothing that strictly demands impeachment. However I do hope you'll take this small list into consideration Abuse of office - Nepotism: Some members of President Trump's immediate family serve in official capacities in the Trump administration. Ivanka Trump for example, Has even, On one occasion, Filled in as Secretary of State. Self-enrichment: President Trump has not divested himself from his businesses. When utilizing locations owned by the Trump Organization, Taxpayer money is funneled into his pockets. Competence of office - Domestic relations: President Trump has shown conduct unbecoming of POTUS on a number of occasions. Some examples include the p***y grabbing tape, The central park five, Birtherism, Miss universe locker rooms, The stormy daniels case and other alleged examples of sexual assault and bigotry. He is a habitual teller of untruths and has enacted many unpopular decisions. The result of this is that he is an extremely unpopular president. If popularity is the factor in which he is elected president, Unpopularity should also be a factor when considering his exit. Work ethic: President Trump has visited his golf courses an extraordinary amount of times. By some counts, 1/3 of the days of his entire presidency. This constitutes dereliction of duty. Foreign relations: The US under President Trump has seen a significant drop in relations with many countries. Perception of the US in other countries have dropped as well. The President cannot be effective at his role if he cannot work with other countries to better relations

I believe there is nothing impeachable about President trump. Feel free to try and change my mind. NOTE: You do not have to change my mind to win the debate. Voters choose the winner on a 7 point system, And who they think made the best arguments, Regardless of whether my mind was changed or not. NOTE: DO NOT ACCEPT THIS DEBATE IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE OFFLINE FREQUENTLY. I WANT COMMITTED DEBATERS ONLY. NO FORFEITS.

1. What do you mean by enriching himself? He passed on his businesses to his sons. This is ridiculous. 2. These are all allegations, Like the Miss universe one. Vulgar remarks is perception of the situation and freedom of speech. Admitting fault and disrespect is also perception of the situation. On birther-ism, It was his opinion, And your opinion of "stupidity. " He had a good reason to believe that as Obama's grandmother said he was born in Kenya, And he may have forged his certificate as there is evidence to that. Stormy Daniels- everyone makes mistakes. He made one. Move on and get over it. These were all before his presidency as well, So he can't be impeached for them. 3. Canada- Their leader is pathetically weak. It is not illegal to criticize another leader. They are ripping us off an taxes and stuff, So Trump had no choice. Again the tariffs are a policy issue. Nigeria and Haiti- just allegations. Some people denied it, And he did as well. Mexico- Yes, He will build a wall. Enforcing borders is not impeachable. EU- Another policy issue- nothing impeachable. "Several heads of member states have openly made remarks that suggest a lack of faith in Trump" Maybe they should be impeached for such atrocious conduct to the president. This lack of respect is poor conduct and they should be impeached for mental health issues, And poor conduct which is clearly a misdemeanor. 4. Trump did not pay them for filling in. Nepotism is not even illegal or impeachable. 5. Trump is a workaholic my dude. He goes to bed at 1 and wakes up at 4. He is very hard-working, And its not like he spends the whole day golfing, Unlike Obama who was a lazy scrub who woke up past 6. Conclusion: These things are tick-tacky nitpicks that are not HIGH crimes or misdemeanors, And half of them weren't even while he was in office.
Political Corruption is Necessary for Speedy Social Progress

Mind the oncoming brief tangent. I do feel that in part it is a tad bit necessary however. The honourable opposition must remember that he is not Merriam-Webster, For creating an alternative definition for a word simply to fit his own argument is rather silly and unwarranted. The honourable opposition states his new version of political corruption to be absolutely necessary for the purpose of speedy social change as per the title when perhaps it would be more reasonable to say that in rare circumstances such would be the case, Yet I fail to see a legitimate example of that within the argument itself. It must be kept in mind that following the Emancipation Proclamation, As I'm sure the honourable opposition is referring to, "speedy" social change did not occur. The most the Emancipation Proclamation had done was bring forth the abolishing of the practice of slavery within the US, Yet, It would take another 100 years or so before segregation and greater civil rights for men and women of colour in the US slowly began to trickle in, Yet, It appears with the following statement that even the "Pro" side itself doesn't consider it speedy social change. Inherently, Based on personal experience, I strongly disagree with the second major argument, Yet, Since the opposition deems it as going off topic, I won't delve into that territory much. I fail to see the "vague argument that corruption is bad for the people, Or[sic] worsens the lives of people" that has been murkily thrown out by the opposition, Contrary to what it claims to be the case. Additionally, On the third argument, I strongly dissent the opposition once again taking the role of Merriam-Webster and cutting out parts of political corruption he doesn't particularly agree with. I'm checking the definition of "standard politics" as I type this argument, Coincidentally, On Merriam-Webster, Just so the opposition is aware. I have a few other concerns about the third argument, But I'd be straying into personal gains territory once again, So unless the opposition would like to make up for that in his rebuke, I'll hold that back for the time being. The fourth and final argument is special in the sense that it seems rather reasonable compared to the other three, Yet my point still stands from the beginning on how this would be in infrequent and/or rare circumstances. I have no further comments on the fourth argument at the moment. Finally, I'd like to point out that the overview isn't doing much to support the oppositions' side of the argument, Referring to corruption as a possible quick way for social progress, Yet doing little to reinforce the idea that it is a necessary component in creating quick social progress. Whether it is the title or the argument of the honourable opposition that is talking about the right topic, I honestly have no clue.

The Universe Does Not Have a Creator

What point did I prove? Putting your faith in anything else doesn't prove it's real. Read my whole text again. I mocked you for mocking Christians who fill their proof with faith even though you do no different with rocks. Even after I proved a creator with the laws of science. What you put your faith in the beginning has no evidence and even the complexity of the world disproves it. The exact material and traits that we have are perfectly fit for are survival. The debate sounds like this: My argument, "In the beginning God. " Your argument, "In the beginning rocks, Mud, And Maybe something else. " I don't understand your reasoning for the beginning having rocks and mud, But you sure got a lot of faith in it. Thank you for your time.

Well if this is true then any of the series of are events are are abiotic masses. If they created the Brain and the same concept of the brain, Just a little different in each animal. And the exact placing and orbit of earth so exact to not freeze us or burn us up, As well as all the other galaxy's and masses out there, Then its are creator. Growth and regrowth very hard for rocks to build. If I give you two rocks, How long will it take for you to create a person, And if you can't then your not as intelligent as the rocks that "created" us. You also say that there is no way to prove it. So they say that we put faith in God and gods only and fill it all up with faith to prove everything. You just said that there is no way to prove any of it. So your putting your faith in the rocks and mud. Evolution is the change of kind, Not the creation of kind. For the comments:"During the processes of evolution, What do the blood cells become? "
The Universe Does Not Have a Creator

We are a closed system, However, I believe one does not need a creator but a series of events leading to its creation. Something in the very beginning didn't create us, But a nonliving series of events did. God could've created us, But so could've evolution, Dead black holes, Rocks in space, And may other things. There is no true way to prove it, However I will try. https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=HdPzOWlLrbE Yes, The big bang is a closed system, God MIGHT have been outside of it, But so could many other things. Scientific research shows some sort of evolution, Adaptation, And natural selection. Many of the times an animal has learned behavior, Not something that has been simply, "put in there".
The Universe Does Not Have a Creator

To start, I believe we have a creator. In this debate since I believe God is are creator; he is who I will be trying to prove. First I will prove him with scientific laws. Because he is are creator we can divide whether we are a closed system all the way to God. We are people. We have a physical beginning, And we have a physical end. The second law of thermodynamics says that entropy increases with time. We began and we finish; the circle of life. This is what makes us a closed system. Quantum Physics says that something outside the closed system must have began the closed system. We can divide this throughout planets until we reach a conclusion of something outside the outside of are universe. Even the big bang is a closed system. Since God was there in the beginning he is the only thing to ever be outside the closed system. Only something in the very beginning could have created us, And that is a God.
homework

Lets look at all the facts. When kids get home from school they have to go right to homework, then they have dinner. Then in hopes to finish homework for a reasonable bedtime. In that time there was no time for them to get outside and work off all their excess energy. With this kind of schedule, the student could become obese. The site "Our Family World," States; Wake up bright and early, get dressed, eat breakfast. Head to the school bus and off to school. School all day, with minimal recess. Back on the bus, home around 4pm. Homework for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours or more! Maybe 30 minutes of playtime, if they"re lucky. Eat dinner. Take a bath. After the bath, kids usually spend a little time doing quiet activities. They"re certainly not running around playing! Page 2 Go to bed, typically between 8 and 9 pm. Repeat." Where in that schedule are our children getting enough time for active play? While younger children typically have less homework, it still takes up a good chunk of their after school time. Older kids in middle school and high school are often bombarded with homework, giving them virtually no free time at all. Like it says there isn't enough time in this schedule for the student to get all the exercise he/her needs for a healthy diet. Which in turn could lead to obesity.
homework

I would like to start off by stating that homework is generally for beneficial for the student than it is wrong. Homework is a part of the simple assessment process that teachers use to determine what areas their students need help in, and can help the student improve from that point. Often times (and almost all of the time), teachers don't have the sufficient time they need in a day to teach material and ensure that the students fully understand; and teachers will use homework for the students to take home and bring back the next day. Even if the student gets the gist of a subject, the teacher would still send home homework in order to prepare the student for any future tests;which is essentially required studying and practice at home. Outside of the educational ideals, homework teaches students in a simple way about an important aspect in life for the future-- responsibility, that is. With the responsibility and accountability of being required to take time to finish school work at home, they develop much needed life skills for the future.
