To long, didn't read.
Congress has the duty to defend our democracy.
The House of Representative has the sole power to impeach the president.

I look forward to a Republican majority in the House in 2020 so we can finally get actual legislature that is good for Americans started up again.
Senate approval is running around 20%, very dismal.
Didn't Trump once say that he could shoot someone in the middle of Time Square with no consequences.

Does America have a Democracy?
Do we employ Democratic elections to select leaders to run our government?
If so, should our elected officials have a duty to defend that system?
What are the steps in the legal process?
Steps in the Legal Process

*Discovery and Depositions. After the complaint is filed in court,...
*Motions and Pretrial Conference. Discovery may take several months, or even over a year.

The United States is Democratic Republic.
All of the United States of America democratically elects leaders to run the government, that is of the people, by the people and for the people. Democracy is a critical leg of our sovereignty.
When a foreign government attempts to subvert our elections, they are attacking "our democracy".
It is the constitutional duty of Congress to defend "our democracy".
To assert that the United States is not "a democracy", or that our democratic values are not worth defending, because we are a republic, is just another kind of attack on "our democracy". from within.
Voter suppression and voter fraud are also attacks on "our democracy", that Congress has a constitutional duty to defend the country against.
Dude, your constant and incessant attempts to redefine the nature of our government does not make it true.
The Russian attack on U.S. democracy began in 2014 and is more wide-ranging and coordinated than previously understood. How the United States responds requires a strategy that both applies pressure on Russia via additional sanctions and improves the United States’ defensive capabilities against further Russian interference.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen told state election officials Saturday the threat from Russia targeting U.S. elections should be taken seriously and the attacks are a "direct attack on our democracy."

You're the one arguing that the US doesn't have a democracy,
therefore, my assertion that Congress has a duty to defend "our democracy" is invalid.
You are wrong.
Russia attacked our democracy.
Now you're saying, "Who cares?" "We don't have a democracy anyway!"
"Who cares if the President abuses the power of his office to benefit his bid for re-election?" "We don't have a democracy anyway"
BS!
Congress has the constitutional duty to defend our democracy,
and that's what this impeachment is all about.
Donald Trump has tried to misuse the power of his office to extort a foreign power to put their thumb on the scale of the 2020 presidential election.
Can it have a communism?
They have a Constitutional duty to support and defend our Constitution.

Ourdemocracyrepublic is constitutional. So is the impeachment process as it's being handled right now.
I think that you're a hypocrite, and that you would be first in line to condemn a Democrat for voter fraud or voter suppression, even though we don't "have a democracy", according to you.
Doubling down..
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristjen Nielsen told state election officials Saturday the threat from Russia targeting U.S. elections should be taken seriously and the attacks are a "direct attack on our democracy."
But, you would give the order to "Stand Down".

There, I fixed your repeated and incorrect description of the United States form of government.
