Will Impeaching Trump Succeed?


On October 5th, 2019, David Edward Burke published a commentary in Monthly Washington, a media organization that focuses on explaining how the government can be improved. In the commentary “Can Impeachment Succeed?”, David explains how Trump has violated the Constitution and should be impeached.
  David provides some examples of how Trump has violated the Constitution. He states that Trump asked a “foreign official to investigate a political opponent”, which he is not able to because it is “previously identified as grounds for impeachment.” David also argues that many of the people that voted for him are going against him but David should have included how many people actually are against him. David stated that even if he gets impeached, he can become the first president to run for re-election after being impeached and that even then there’s “no evidence that it will deter his supporters.” I believe that the real question we should be asking is how many people will still support him in the 2020 election. He will most likely not get impeached just as David stated but if more people stop supporting him, then he will most likely not be re-elected in the 2020 election
This article is intended for all the citizens to inform them how Trump has violated the Constitution and if impeaching him is going to succeed. David does support his argument by including how Trump's campaign clearly states who he is as a person which is not good things.
In conclusion, there are so many reasons why Trump should be impeached but it will most likely not happen until something worse happens or until people stop supporting him. If every citizen does their research before voting then this country would be more in peace like it should be. We as citizens need to come together and make this country better again.

Housing For Homeless

   On Friday, October 4th, 2019, the Los Angeles Times  published an editorial titled " Editorial: Here's one thing we don't need to fight homelessness: A state of emergency declaration." The editorial explains how local officials should do a better job of providing housing and shelters to the homeless.

     The author does provide some arguments on why they should take more action in providing housing. the author argued that the city of Los Angeles did provide "$1.2 billion for housing for homeless and very low-income people through Proposition HHH, and more than 8,000 new units should be available in the next several years." But as the author stated, homelessness keeps increasing by sidewalks, riverbeds, and parks. The author argues that by declaring a state of emergency on homelessness is not a solution anymore, instead, the local officials should take action on helping the homeless. The author of this article should’ve provided information on how many homeless have health problems and are not able to get any help or have a home.
      This article is intended for all citizens to explain how the government is helping the homeless and persuade them to believe that local officials should take action in helping the homeless. The author does support his argument by stating that the Trump administration has “turned down a request from Newsom for more housing vouchers for homeless people.”
       In conclusion, there should be action on helping homeless people because at the end of the day everyone has rights. If the local officials take action in helping the homeless, it will minimize their health problems and help them have a home.
