impeachment clauses: Meanwhile, outside the Longworth Building, where Nadler's committee has been convening, an equally vigorous campaign is being waged to shape how the public understands the role impeachment plays in our constitutional system, according to Rabble. Making sense of our eighteenth-century Constitution in our twenty-first-century world poses a number of challenges, so it's not all that surprising that in the rush to make a complex issue fit into our head-spinning and vertigo-inducing news cycles, some simplification and distortion is inevitable.
