A question about impeachment
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
I've been wondering why the impeachment inquiries and trials are being slow walked.
So I did a little digging and I wonder if there is anyone on this platform who know much more than I about impeachment.
What I found; in order to impeach someone they must be a Federal employee. A Federal employee must take an oath of office to be a Federal employee.
My take on all of this is that none of the people we want to see impeached can be impeached because they are not legal Federal employees.
And if they do go ahead and pretend they are impeaching someone it would be another act in this looooong movie we are watching.
Am I wrong? Or am I must hoping I am correct?
As far as I can tell, that traces back to this Ann Vandersteel twitter post --

But it looks sketchy -- all the people she names have literally been sworn in, with the Oath of Office, you can watch it on CSPAN.
Here's Xavier Becerra getting sworn in: https://www.c-span.org/video/?510308-1/health-human-services-secretary-swearing-ceremony
Here's Buttigieg: https://www.c-span.org/video/?508603-1/transportation-secretary-buttigieg-swearing-ceremony
Here's Blinken: https://www.c-span.org/video/?508379-1/swearing-ceremony-secretary-state-blinken
etc etc
There need to be a signed document. A legal Contract of the oath signed & files with a court.
You can verbally offer to purchase a house, but until you SIGN A CONTRACT, it's not binding.
