Removal of Dick Cheney, stop war crimes - arguments for an attack on US justified

Three key issues dovetail:

1. Nuremberg [“Under any civilized judicial system he could have been impeached and removed from office or convicted of malfeasance in office on account of the scheming malevolence with which he administered injustice. ] Source

2. Constitutional clause in re pardon-impeachment [AII S2: “he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” ]

3. State level prosecutions are possible. [Jonathan Turley, “From Pillar to Post”: The Prosecution of Sitting Presidents, 37 American Criminal Law Review 1049-1106 (2000)]

The idea is to ensure impeachment proceedings start.

The outcome is less important than ensuring the evidence is carefully presented.

However, if there is no impeachment, and the President/VP are pardoned, this means the second prong of Nuremberg — prosecutions — cannot be met.

This opens the US to lawful attack to enforce Geneva.

Nuremberg made it clear that unless impeachment or prosecutions were used, the nation could not be considered civilized.

If Americans will not enforce the law against the President through impeachment; nor challenge Pelosi with removal to make way for investigations, Geneva would permit other nations to use military force to constrain the US.

Prosecutions at the DOJ-level may be thwarted, but there are options to use State AG’s to enforce the law.

The arguments defending the President against impeachment are similar to those which attempt to avoid confronting Pelosi. They’re both frivolous.

In the meantime, the effort to remove Pelosi —

to make way for an investigation —

continues.
