AP's 'currency' phrasing on third impeachment draws criticism

Original: Strange wording, # AP ? "Impeaching the president a third time may not hold the currency that it once did." What is this

An Associated Press line stating that impeaching the president a third time 'may not hold the currency that it once did' is being questioned for its odd phrasing. Critics argue the metaphor trivialises a constitutional process, framing impeachment as a matter of political fashion rather than lawmakers' sworn duty. The debate centres on whether mainstream coverage is normalising the idea of repeated impeachments against Trump.

• Strange wording, # AP ? "Impeaching the president a third time may not hold the currency that it once did." What is this, a trendy # fashion show, or a body of lawmakers who must follow their oath? https:// apnews.com/article/house-democ… · nikolas@journa.host · 2
