It was not a "footnote" it was and is a law.  And Trump violated it.

The Constitution does not say that the President can do whatever he or
she wants.  It set up three co-equal branches of government.  Congress
passes the laws, the President and the Executive branch execute those
laws, and the Judicial passes judgement.

 GD> President was within his constitutional authority with what occurred

Wrong -- still.

True, the Democrats did not count on the President releasing evidence
that proves he committed a crime -- but that is exactly what he did.

 GD> they have been trying to find NEW ways to make their hurt feelings
 GD> morph into laws broken, but once again there were no laws broken, just

I can count at least four laws broken.  Extortion, violation of the
impoundment control act, violation of federal campaign laws and
obstruction of congress.

 GD> a difference in policy dispute.  Again to built a case on impeachment

Policy -- The Democrats want to protect the USA national security by
aiding Ukraine in its war with Russia.  Trump wants to allow Russia to
do whatever it wants, anywhere.

 GD> Truth is this impeachment will be over soon, when it is 
 GD> over the President will

In that you are probably correct.  But perhaps enough Senators will wake
up and follow their conscience to at least have a fair trial, and
perhaps the American people will come to realize how corrupt and
self-serving Trump really is.
