Question

Which of the following actions would be most likely to constitute an impeachable offense?

A. A President using a strategy of encouraging multiple interest groups to pressure Congress on a bill
B. A President hosting a game of poker in the White House with friends who are not in government
C. A President's failure to report a gift given to them by a foreign power before agreeing to a new trade deal
D. A President supporting publicly unpopular policy over the protests of House and Senate members

Answer 1

I would say A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's look at the other options:

B) A president can host a game of poker with friends in the White House. It's not a crime, so long as the president doesn't expose classified information.

C) A president's failure to report a gift would certainly be looked down upon, but again, it's not a crime.

D) A president has the freedom of speech, just like everyone else. He can support/protest whatever he wants.

Thus, A is the only logical answer.

Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:
