    Democrat bill would strip benefits from 'twice impeached' presidents

    Democrat bill would strip benefits from 'twice impeached' presidents, including burial at Arlington cemetery


    The sponsor of the bill said Trump needed to be punished for the Capitol rioting

    New legislation proposed by House Democrats would ban presidents who have been impeached twice from being buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

    The bill would also "prohibit the use of Federal funds for the commemoration of certain former Presidents, and for other purposes."

    House Bill 484 was introduced by Democratic Rep. Linda Sanchez of California in late January. It is entitled the "No Glory for Hate Act," and is clearly intended to target former President Donald Trump, who was twice impeached by a Democrat-controlled House.

    The measure would prevent federal funds to be spent for any symbol, monument, structure, building or public land that was to be designated to honor a president twice impeached.

    Sanchez said in a statement that she was inspired by the rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to write the bill in order to punish Trump for his actions.

    "For years, Donald Trump poured gasoline on lies, encouraging racism and hatred, then lit the match on January 6th. A president who has been impeached twice does not deserve the honors bestowed on a former president," said Sanchez.

    "We should never glorify the hatred Donald Trump personified as President. This bill ensures that there is no glory for hate – not a building, statue, or even a park bench," she added.

    The bill would strip Trump of other benefits such as a pension, the provision of a staff, and office travel expenses.

    Trump was impeached in Dec. 2019 for two articles of impeachment related to obstruction of justice. He then impeached a second time in Jan. 2020 after the election over one article of impeachment of incitement of insurrection.

    Republicans in the Senate prevented a conviction in both impeachments.

    Sanchez called the former president a traitor in her statement.

    "Even though Trump is no longer in office, he should still be held accountable for his actions and the taxpayers should not foot the bill for his future actions," said Sanchez. "I can't imagine sending students in Southern California -- or anywhere in America -- to a school named in honor of a traitorous president."

    They are out to punish him. They are after him any way they can.

    Read a headline about Trump running in 2024, I hope he won't. Because it would just be more of what happened the last 4 years. He should be endorsing folks that have that Trump Train appeal. The GOP hopefuls should be making their voices heard, especially on all the thing Biden is doing that are against Conservatives values.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham said Sunday that Donald Trump is eager to get back into politics.

    It's funny that the name of their proposed bill is called the "No glory for hate" bill when that is all that they have done for the past several years is hate Donald Trump and his supporters. Their party, and much of the rest of the swamp is so full of demons that it is pathetic. They are animated by demonic forces and their minds are totally clouded by this demonic hatred. And it doesn't stop there either. They hate America. They hate it. They are going out of their way to dirty up Patriotism, Nationalism, and anyone who believes in Jesus Christ. If they are not put into check soon, the way is being paved for China to move in and take over our nation, from the inside out. Their final hindrance is the 1st and 2nd Amendments. Once they destroy both of these watch out.

    I am so glad that this is not my home.

    Not really sure you can have Trumpism without Trump . It's like one need's that Bull-headedness that Trump brings to the table to attempt the reforms that Trump brings to the table

    It's like them calling Limbaugh divisive. They literally do not see themselves as divisive in any way. Only Republicans/conservatives can be divisive. They are so blind to their own shortcomings they literally can't see what they're doing. Or they do know what they're doing and don't care.

    TDS afflicts every member of the Democratic party on Capitol Hill.

    Is Trump considered twice impeached when the Senate acquitted him both times he was impeached by the House?
