Questions about the Schiff Report

Answer True or False (or Agree or Disagree), as applicable.

1. A President must never withhold foreign aid, even for a short period of time, that Congress has authorized and appropriated because of the Impoundment Control Act.  Doing so is an impeachable offense.
(Note: this statement must be answered false if there is a single prior precedent of a President withholding aid).

2. Similar to #1, if a President withholds foreign aid, even for a short period of time, without Congressional approval, then this is a threat to national security, effectively treason, and this is an impeachable offense.

3.  A President has no say in deciding foreign policy.  Only the NSC staff through their interagency meetings (e.g. Lt. Col. Vindman) have a say.  If the President disagrees with the NSC, this is an impeachable offense.

4.  A President must never fire or insult an Ambassador.  If he does, this is misconduct, which is an impeachable offense.

5. A President must never talk directly to a foreign leader.  Instead, he must go though the Ambassador, who must approve the message.  If a President bypasses the official channel, this is an impeachable offense.

6. A President must never ask another country to investigate corruption.  Asking another country to investigate corruption can be done only if the NSC agrees, and if you do so without their approval, this is a threat to national security, and is an impeachable offense.

7.  A President must never investigate whether another politician's family member is corrupt, since doing so is "digging up dirt" and is election interference and is an impeachable offense.

8.  A President must never listen to any ideas or political thoughts that have not been approved by the mainstream media.  If he does so, this is considered believing a debunked conspiracy theory.  And asking someone else to investigate whether such a debunked conspiracy theory is true, is an impeachable offense.

9.  If a political rival (e.g. Joe Biden) coerces a foreign government to stop investigating his son then this is perfectly fine, but asking questions about whether this is corruption is an impeachable offense.
