“(the remedy against a sitting President being impeachment, conviction and removal from office)”

It’s impeachment, removal from office, conviction.

The Government may have mislead, but it was the Attorney’s that lied, and the process for that is well established. The lawyers get thrown under the bus. Sanctioned by the court, fined, perhaps a criminal referral if one can be made and first and foremost disbarment.

Sorry, you are wrong. It’s just as I stated it - "impeachment, conviction and removal from office”.

First, Impeachment: This takes place in the House of Representatives. Once the House has passed a Bill of Impeachment, the process passed to the Senate.

Second, Conviction: The Senate is responsible for holding a trial based on the Bill of Impeachment sent to them by the House of Representatives. Only upon conviction by the Senate does the process move to the third phase.

Third, Removal from Office: upon conviction by the Senate, the person convicted is removed from office.

This is how the process works, sir. It is set up this way in the Constitution. No person is removed from office without conviction by the US senate, as you would have us believe. It just does not happen that way.
