If Kamala Harris is elected President, can she be automatically impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors?
In a television interview, Kamala Harris admitted that she smoked marijuana in the 1980's while attending Law school in California. IF she had been caught at the time, she would have been convicted of a misdemeanor. There is not even a remote chance of prosecuting now because California has a three year prosecution window on drug related crimes.
If she had stolen something under $950.00 the time limit would be one year and that would also be a misdemeanor, and we wouldn't vote for a thief to be President. However, admitting you have done drugs which was, at the time, worthy of prosecution, while attending Law School (with an attendant possible misdemeanor sentence), on National television does seem to be...I don't know. Just plain old wrong. It seems to show a disregard for the Law she was supposed to be studying. And I don't know if I want a President who is so dumb she goes on National television and tells on herself.
What do you think?
