As part of the blueprint for checks and balances, the United States Constitution outlines a procedure for Congress to impeach and remove public officials, including the president of the United States. Develop an argument on whether the congressional procedure outlined in the Constitution for impeachment and removal an effective check on the president, too weak a check on the president, or too strong a check on the president

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

In the United States political system, it is true that Congress or the legislative branch as part of the blueprint for checks and balances has the power to impeach and remove public officials, including the President of the United States, as has been the case with Andrew Johnson, Bill Gates, and Donald Trump.

This congressional procedure outlined in the Constitution for impeachment and removal is an effective check on the president, however, the procedure has its complexities because it requires both chambers -Senate and House of Representatives- to vote and decide about the future of the President.

The US Constitution authorizes Congress to impeach the President basically for the following reasons: bribery, high crimes, and treason.

The problems start with those definitions and the legal terms used by lawyers to accuse and defend. Then, the vote on the House of Representatives and if it passes, it has to go to the Senate. In the Senate, it is needed two-thirds or more have to vote to convict the President.

In US history, both impeached Presidents -Johson in 1968 and Bill Clinton in 1988- have been acquitted.

                the united states presidential election of 1912 was the 32nd quadrennial presidential election, held on tuesday, november 5, 1912. the election was a rare four-way contest.

                incumbent president william howard taft was renominated by the republican party with the support of its conservative wing. after former president theodore roosevelt failed to receive the republican nomination, he called his own convention and created the progressive party (nicknamed the "bull moose party"). it nominated roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. democrat woodrow wilson was finally nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, to the support of william jennings bryan, the three-time democratic presidential candidate who still had a large and loyal following in 1912. eugene v. debs, running for a fourth time, was the nominee of the socialist party of america.

                wilson won the election, gaining a large majority in the electoral college and winning 42% of the popular vote, while roosevelt won 27%, taft 23% and debs 6%. wilson became the only elected president from the democratic party between 1892 and 1932, and the second of only two democrats to be elected president between 1860 and 1932. this was the last election in which a candidate who was not a republican or democrat came second in either the popular vote or the electoral college, and the first election in which all 48 states of the contiguous united states participated.

hope this !
