Trump impeachment: More than 600 law academics conclude there is 'overwhelming evidence' for president's removal

His conduct is precisely the type of threat to our democracy that the founders feared when they included the remedy of impeachment in the constitution.”

The scholars said their conclusion was based on the evidence heard so far in the impeachment hearings of Mr Trump’s attempt to pressure Ukraine into investigating his political rival Joe Biden.

That includes testimony from US officials Gordon Sondland and William Taylor and Mr Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president.

The scholars said they were not giving their opinion on whether the president committed a crime.

They concluded: “Ultimately, whether to impeach the President and remove him from office depends on judgments that the Constitution leaves to Congress.

“But if the House of Representatives impeached the President for the conduct described here and the Senate voted to remove him, they would be acting well within their constitutional powers.

Let's add another 750 people to the list!

Over 700 historians have signed an open letter imploring the House of Representatives to impeach President Donald Trump.

The letter stated: "We are American historians devoted to studying our nation's past who have concluded that Donald J. Trump has violated his oath to 'faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States' and to 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.'"

The historians said that Trump's "'attempts to subvert the Constitution,' as George Mason described impeachable offenses at the Constitutional Convention in 1787, urgently and justly require his impeachment."

Citing Trump's efforts to pressure Ukraine into launching investigations that would "advance his own re-election," the letter said the president is guilty of "numerous and flagrant abuses of power."

"It is our considered judgment that if President Trump's misconduct does not rise to the level of impeachment, then virtually nothing does," the historians said, characterizing Trump as a "clear and present danger to the Constitution
