At Faith & Liberty we are committed to advancing a culture that respects life, the family and the rule of law. Tragically, too many in our nation’s capital are driven by a hatred toward our former president that is hurting our country and distorting the Constitution. An example of that is an impeachment trial in the Senate of a former President which is unconstitutional, divisive, and a waste of time. Below we will share why the Senate should end this now. -Your Faith & Liberty team

Send your urgent fax to these senators and demand they stop this unconstitutional impeachment.

Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) stated: "I have sent a proposed timeline for the first phases of the upcoming impeachment trial to Leader Schumer and look forward to continuing to discuss it with him." Senator Lindsey Graham has called on McConnell to end this vindictive trial.

Impeachment of former office holders is unconstitutional...

The U.S. Constitution is unquestionably clear on the purpose and limits of the impeachment of a president:

Article 2 Section 1 states: "The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America. He shall hold his office during the term of four years..."

Article 2 Section 4 states: "The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."

The key word in each of these constitutional provisions is "office."

According to the plain language of the Constitution, impeachment may ONLY be used against a person currently in office.

As of January 20, Donald J. Trump left the office of the president.

If impeachment could be used against former office holders, then every former office holder could be impeached by the majority party. Indeed, the controlling party could impeach all future presidential candidates who were former office holders.

That is an extremely dangerous precedent and it needs to end now.

The best way to get an urgent message to these critical senators is through our faxing program. These fax machines cannot be turned off, so they cannot ignore you. These senators urgently need to hear from you demanding that they not discard the Constitution they have sworn to uphold. Send your urgent fax now.

The House impeachment was a "kangaroo court" with no due process...

Faith & Liberty is not a law firm. We are a missionary outreach to our nation’s public policy makers. But our commitment to religious freedom demands we call on all of those in power to uphold the Constitution and its requirements for due process.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) rushed a vote to impeach President Trump and never afforded him due process to defend himself. There were no witnesses, no evidence, and President Trump was denied the opportunity to defend himself.

Senator Lindsey Graham stated this House impeachment went "without one witness being called and without a lawyer."

Known ISIS bombers are treated to a fairer trial than the President of the United States experienced at the hands of Pelosi. Even the kangaroo courts of repressive regimes usually provide a sham "defense," for appearances sake, but Donald Trump had nothing.

We need to stand together in demanding that the Senate uphold the law and reject this destruction of due process in our nation. This mockery of justice should never be welcome by anyone in leadership of our nation.

Demand the Senate follow the Constitution they swore to uphold and end this impeachment trial with your urgent fax today!

Impeachment is divisive...

There is very little that could be more divisive for our nation at this time than for the Senate to move forward with an impeachment trial. However, Sen. McConnell appears to look forward to this sham trial.

In reality, most who support impeachment have already made known the reason they want to impeach Trump is so that, in their words, he will not run for future office. First, to impeach, as we said, the office holder must be in office. Second, if the officer holder is impeached, then that person can be banned from future office. But once the office holder is no longer in office, impeachment is not an option.

This trial is really an attempt to IMPEACH ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP. Those who want the trial to move forward want to permanently silence YOU. Big Tech is trying to silence you and so are some career politicians.

This is outrageous!

Act now to get your fax into the offices and on the desks of senators to end this impeachment sham.
