One Senator opines that:“It was never intended that a conviction or impeachment under our Constitution should condemn anyone to eternal political purgatory. So I went back to the beginning of our Constitution-making process to understand what We, The People really intended. On page 36 of the report, it is stated that, “The present Constitution encourages personalization of power, which is the very opposite of constitutionalism. The lack of any functioning accountability mechanism encourages growth of corruption and abuse of public resources.”This is one of the problems We, The People wanted addressed. No exception in the Constitution to protect corrupt leaders can possibly override this clear instruction by We, The People!
