Opinion: Is it time to impeach President Biden?

Last week I discussed Seymour Hersh’s charges that Nord Stream was destroyed by the U.S. government, acting under the direction of President Joseph R. Biden.

These charges have resulted in Illinois College of Law Professor Francis A. Boyle, preparing a Resolution of Impeachment against the president of the United States.

In an interview on YouTube with American journalist and political commentator Don DeBar, Boyle notes that he delivered copies of his resolution to every Republican member of the House of Representatives. What they do with them remains to be seen.

Boyle’s resolution, impeaching Biden for high crimes and misdemeanors, contains three articles that I have summarized due to space limitations.

The three articles begin with the same terminology:

“In the conduct of the office of President of the United States, Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of the President of the United States, and to the best of his ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty, to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has engaged in a campaign of non-neutral acts and belligerent acts and acts of war against the Russian Federation …”

Article I

… without the express authorization of the United States Congress in violation of the War Powers Clause of the United States Constitution set forth in Article 1, Section 8”

Article II

… in violation of the United States Neutrality Legislation set forth in 18 U.S.C. Section 960, which is a crime. The United States Congress has not declared war against the Russian Federation and therefore constitutionally and legally the United States of America still “is at peace” with the Russian Federation.

Article III

… in violation of the 1907 Hague Convention Respecting the Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers and Persons in Case of War on Land, 36 Stat. 2310, and in violation of the 1907 Hague Convention Concerning the Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers in Naval War, 36 Stat. 2415. Both of these Hague Neutrality Conventions are treaties to which the United States of America is a contracting party and thus “the supreme Law of the Land” under Article VI of the United States Constitution. Both the Russian Federation and Ukraine are also contracting parties to these two Hague Neutrality Conventions.

I recommend that you research these articles for their complete detail.
