Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment inquiry for President Donald Trump on Wednesday, and people are buzzing, and rightfully so; only two presidents–Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton–have actually been impeached. There are many that support this move, especially among Democrats, but there are many that don’t–and it’s not because they support the president.

Trump is three years into his presidency. 2020 is the year that will determine whether he will be re-elected or replaced by someone else. His time in office has not been without its many, many controversies, whether it’s his alleged bigoted policies, or his past accusations of sexual assault, or his offensive remarks against American citizens and his fellow representatives and congressmen, or anything else, really—he seems to get into some kinda of trouble almost every few weeks, and there isn’t a day where you don’t hear about him on the radio or see him trending on Twitter.

It’s not surprising that people would see his impeachment as necessary; people believe that by impeaching Trump, then the presidency will automatically be cleansed of bigotry and corruption. But do they not realize that the vice president will just take the president’s place?

There will be no total removal of corruption or bigotry in our government. We can work to reduce it, but unfortunately it’s something that we can never fully get rid of. Just because we get rid of Trump doesn’t mean that we’ll get rid of Vice President Mike Pence, who is just as bigoted as the former. Pence, who has been against the LGBT community for an incredibly long time throughout his career, would not be a better president. He’d only encourage and spread the bigotry that many Americans are insistent on getting rid of.

To add on, why did it take so long? Nancy Pelosi had originally been against Trump’s impeachment. With Trump’s presidency nearing an end, why did it take this long for Democrats to make this move? It almost seems pointless to do so now. Instead of trying to get rid of him, why don’t Democrats make the effort to appeal to apathetic voters? To show that they are a party that is truly dedicated to the people first and foremost, and are not corrupt themselves?

Now is not the time to find temporary solutions. If Democrats really want something to be done, there has to be effort and dedication. They have to do something that will really get the American people to side with them and believe that they’re capable of leadership.
