Page 6 Opinion The Clarion \ November 20, 2019 What is the impeachment process? By Lande Simpson staff Writer By now, I am sure you have heard about the impeachment trials going on. If you are not quite sure what is going with them, here is the run down. There has supposedly been a whistleblower complaint between Donald Trump and the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, which apparently includes a quid pro quo for political gain. A quid pro quo is when a favor is granted or expected in return for something. This is seen as unconstitutional from the Democratic point of view. The impeachment process is simply a political process and not a criminal process, which many Americans get mixed up. In order to keep the process going, articles or impeachments (charges against the President) are drafted. This starts at the House of Representatives, where any members can carry on with proceeding the trial. The Speaker of the House then is able to determine whether or not to go on with the inquiry into the impeachment. In applying this situation to Trump, the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, announced the formal opening of the case on September 24, 2019. “Betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of our national security, and betrayal of the integrity of our elections,” said Pelosi. The House Intelligence Committee would need to vote to approve the articles of impeachment in order to proceed with the hearing. The House currently holds 24 Democrats and 17 Republicans, and needs at least a vote from 21 to people to continue the trails. After the impeachment articles are approved/ passed by the majority of the House, at least 50 percent of the House has to approve the articles in order to get Trump impeached. Next, the Senate comes in and nearly 67 percent (which is two thirds) of the Senate needs to vote in favor for the removal of Trump. If the 67 percent does not agree on the removal, Trump would still be considered impeached, but would not be removed from office.

Unus Annus - One Year By Solomon Turner Contributor The well-known Let’s Play Gamer Markiplier and his friend and former video editor Ethan Nester have gotten together to form a unique and quite bizarre YouTube channel, Unus Annus, which launched Nov. 15. Quickly taking the number one spot on YouTube’s trending, the first video that Unus Annus released begins with a timer, 365:00:00:00, which immediately begins to tic down as Markiplier and Nester set up the channels premise. “We live our lives taking each second for granted but what would you do if you knew how much time you had left. Unus Annus ~ One Year,” the pair said. This quote immediately makes the subject of the inevitable approach of death. Memento Mori, the center of the channels actions. First and foremost, they have declared that they will release one video each day for exactly one year and after 365 days have passed, they will delete the channel and everything on it, connecting their theme of death to the end of the entire channel and everything on it. The journey that both Markiplier and Nester invite viewers on is one that, according to their own words, “the only certainty is its end.” As of now they have released a seemingly jumbled mess of weird, funny and slightly incongruous videos that while at the surface have no connection to each other but they all embody the message that the two creators wanted to get across: that your time is limited, the only certainty is death and that you should make the most of the time you are given. r Markiplier (right) and longtime friend and editor Ethan Nestor’s (left) Youtube project will ‘self- destruct’ in one year.
