Former Vice President and Democratic White House hopeful, Joe Biden has for the first time called for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
Biden who made the call at a campaign event in New Hampshire, accused the US President of violating his oath of office, betraying this nation and committing impeachable acts.
"To preserve our Constitution, our democracy, our basic integrity, he should be impeached," Biden said of the President, speaking at a town hall in New Hampshire.
"He's shooting holes in the Constitution," Biden said. "And we cannot let him get away with it."
Biden said Trump "has indicted himself by obstructing justice, refusing to comply with the congressional inquiry, he's already convicted himself. In full view of the world and the American people, Donald Trump has violated his oath of office, betrayed this nation and committed impeachable acts."
"Trump will do anything to get re-elected, including violating the most basic forms of democracy. It's stunning, and it's dangerous," Biden said. He added, "No president in history has dared to engage in such unimaginable behavior."
This is the most forceful comment from Biden who has been quite cautious than other Democratic aspirants in the call for impeachment.
Recall that the US Congress launched an impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump on September 24, after a whistleblower alleged the White House had attempted to cover up a July call between Trump and the Ukrainian president.
This led to allegation of President Donald Trump abusing his office and using its power to his own political advantage, by pushing a Ukrainian investigation of Joe Biden and his son Hunter who was on the board of a Ukrainian energy company.

I do not know why the Democrats have become so arrogant thinking the country is with them? They used to be a cery humble bunch of people looking after the ordinary person and tax paying worker but now they are involved in too many scandals. Where did Obama get the 14million dollars to buy a mansion just after serving his term. No one should tell me he was the president of America because that is not how that system works. Despite the president is given some comfort they don't dole money to them like Africans do. This impeachment thing will blow up in the Democrats face badly. lets wait and see. It will just be like the Russia collusion. That is why in the first place Pelosi has chosen against her will to investigate Trump and do so in the in the judicial committe where Adam Schiff is the chairman and they are holding the investigations off camera. The fisrt of its kind. This is only because they know when they hold it in camera, it will be like the Trump Russia gate or worse for them like the Kavannagh thing where CNN, MSNBC, NBC and the press could not control the narrative. They are trying to gag Rudi Giulliani the presidents lawyer not to talk and they have sent letters to these news outlets not to host Giulliani. They have also travelled to Ukraine to get assurances that they should not corporate with Trumps lawyers and all these are on record. This does not look well for the Democrats. It will only make them lose the 2020 elections. The people do not trust their story and the narratives chruned out by their news outlets anymore.
Look at the criminal benefiting with son from Ukraine now calling for some body's impeachment so that you can have the presidency on a silver platter.Now because of you and your son's dealings with the Ukraine oil company Elizabeth Warren is leading in the polls of your party nominations elections
