As this Presidential impeachment process and investigation into perceived abuse of power by President Donald Trump and possible criminal activities within his administration unfolds and exposed to public view for digestion, a Democracy hangs in the balance.
Questions lurk; Will there be a growing wave of public opinion and pressure causing some Republican congresspeople to eventually break ranks and respond to their better Angels rather than their worst instincts? Will there be an awakening of enough Republicans to the realization that they took an oath to support and uphold the United States Constitution and not kowtow in fear of a negative tweet from Donald Trump? Or will the public opinion cause American lawmakers to embrace the notion that it's time to burn down a system of government?
Watch closely the testing of our American democracy. A democracy that was first demonstrated in 1797, when the first President of the United States peacefully vacated his office to his successor.
