“I can’t for the life of me figure out how impeaching someone soley to prevent american citizens from having their choice of president isn’t interfering in an election.”
Here to help!
There is nothing wrong with “interfering in an election”
Every time a politician says “vote for me” he or she is “interfering in an election” certainly endorsements from other politicians from newspapers etc is all “interfering in an election”
Nobody ever said interfering in an election is bad.
What they did say is bad is FOREIGN interference in an election. The idea being that Americans care best for American interests, and Russians/Chinese/Israelis/Togolese would put their interests first possibly underming American interests. (you can of course disagree with this argument and say there is nothing wrong With foreign interference, but that has nothing to do with impeachment)
Of course ILLEGAL interference is bad too, such as illegally making it difficult for people to vote .
But “interfering” in of itself when done legally isn’t really a thing . let alone wrong.
