Work of U.S federal government, in the public domain in the United States
In the Constitution Congress has the sole power to declare war. In recent years, Presidents have entered the United States in multiple wars without Congressional declarations of war. When the United States enters a war the expectation is for those in military service to fight in those conflicts and if required, to give their lives in combat. Military members, members of Congress and the President take an oath that all contain these words, "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Congress and Presidents have sent Americans to face deaths
in wars foreign and domestic to maintain our republic! The least they
can do is face the truth, witnesses and voters to make sure we protect
our republic from foreign powers being invited to interfere in our
elections going forward! Impeachment is not a political party exercise,
but an emergency button to be pushed if a President, of any political
party, is violating his oath of office and placing our republic in
peril. We expect military men and women to sacrifice their lives in order to protect our freedoms, among those, to have free and fair elections free from foreign influence. The United States was born because it broke away from foreign rule through a bloody war and it should be obvious why an invitation by a sitting U.S. President, elected under a cloud of election interference by Russia, to the President of another country to assist him in an upcoming election by smearing his political opponent.
If Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refuses to hear key fact witnesses before acquitting President Donald Trump of the articles of impeachment drawn against him, then the Senate has lost its moral authority to send brave Americans to their deaths in defense of their right to display such moral cowardice in a free country.
