Jonathan Coulton
Nobody’s Above The Law
The people made you the president
You get your power from our consent
It's not just a figure of speech
If you do something you shouldn't do
The constitution will deal with you
Congress has the power to impeach
Republicans, Democrats, inbetweeners
No one likes high crimes and misdemeanors
Your tiny hands will scratch and claw
But nobody's above the law
Andrew Johnson and Clinton too
Congress did what they had to do
Nixon resigned just in time
Obstructing justice and perjury
Emoluments, Russian puppetry
Treason is also a crime
Republicans, Democrats, inbetweeners
Looking for high crimes and misdemeanors
Maybe this will stick in your craw
But nobody's above the law
They vote on the articles in the house of representatives
Simple majority says if you are impeached
Then there's a trial in the senate in which they consider the charges
And vote to remove you from office and if they get two thirds then it's done
And you're gone
And you'll never hold office again
Maybe that's why
You don't do business with foreign spies
You don't keep slush funds
You don't tell lies
History knows what you've done
Republicans, Democrats, inbetweeners
Tired of your high crimes and misdemeanors
Founders and the framers foresaw
That nobody's above the law
Nobody's above the law (Even You)
Nobody's above the law
