As soon as Trump got elected liberals said "he's going to get impeached"

Over what?
It seems almost as if they think he should be impeached simple because they didn't vote for him .
As if there is going to be another election this year or next year or something where this time "their voice will be heard"

I guess it just shows how hysterical they are and not based in reality .

Read the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution. I am not saying it will happen but it isn't beyond the pale to say it's possible. There is little doubt he is in violation of the Emoluments Clause. Basically the intent is that the President should not be making money from, or owe money to, foreign interests. Donald Trump is not the first President to fail to completely divest himself from his business interests. Another one who did not was LBJ. He hung on to some radio stations. But there is no doubt Mr. Trump's global interests raise a lot more questions than a few local small market radio stations. We never saw his taxes so no way to know for sure but if he owes money to foreign governments that's a big problem. I would not be surprised if he has to prove this point in the near future. That doesn't necessarily mean his returns would become public. He would most likely have to show them to a congressional committee.

There is also another possible problem. Just today one of the top psychologists at Johns Hopkins said he was mentally ill and unfit to serve. Johns Hopkins' Top Psychotherapist Releases Terrifying Diagnosis Of President Trump He can be removed from office without actually being impeached. It's in that same 22nd Amendment.

We will all have to wait and see what happens.

Don't you think prior to inauguration, a US president would have more than one qualified lawyers to assess the conflict of interest issue? do you think it is Trump himself made a judgment on this?

But this is beyond the point. The reason why people keep talking about impeachment is not due to what he has done in the past week. It is because they didn't want him to be the president in the first place. So essence, these people WANT Trump to do something unconstitutional and be impeached.

And then what? Sorry, Hilary Clinton is not the next person in line.

OK, "one of the psychologist" thinks Trump is mentally ill. Let's guess, he voted for Clinton and was very much against Trump from day 1? I am sure one can find one psychologist in the US who would say Hilary Clinton is a psychopath or mentally unstable too. He can be removed? Wishful thinking.

Just dream on. For the next 4 years.

What people mean by "Trump will be impeached" is that all evidence points to the probability that he is losing his marbles. Trump is a deranged, power-hungry narcissist who is in no way suited to be POTUS. What kind of lunatic calls up the National Parks Service and demands that they provide photos proving that his inauguration was "bigger" than Obama's? And he lies. All the time. Every day. And then there is the fact that he insults our allies, with no regard for diplomacy or even civility. And then the twitter temper tantrums. Frankly, I think he's mentally ill, if not slipping quickly into dementia. Because no grown-up, no leader of a civilized society behaves like this. It's like we put a toddler in the White House.

I think the psychotherapist should lose his license for violating the so called 'Goldwater rule', but that is another matter.

Re the Emoluments Clause, it doesn't matter what my opinion is, or your opinion, or the opinion of the person you are replying to, or the opinion of any of Trump's lawyers, or Trump himself...or even if he is really violating it or not. The only opinions that matter re this issue are those of the 435 members of the House of Representatives. Richard Painter, who served as an attorney dealing with ethics issues in the Bush 43 administration, has been saying since soon after the election that Trump would be violating the Emoluments Clause if all of his holdings weren't sold and put into a blind trust before taking the oath of office. I've been saying since Painter first asserted this that I don't think that impeaching Trump would be attempted unless the Democrats flip the House and the Senate to their control in 2018.

Last night I was channel surfing and landed on PBS with Hugh Hewitt on Charlie Rose. Re the first few sentences I heard out of Hugh Hewitt's mouth...If the Democrats flip the House to their control in 2018 election, one of the first things they will do is pursue impeaching Trump. That was the end of the segment ...this was the weekly Charlie Rose summary show that skipped around to a number of different topics and guests, so I didn't hear anything else Hugh Hewitt may have said re this matter.
