During a discussion on the failed attempts of Republicans in the House to find any evidence to impeach President Biden, Fox and Friends co-host Lawrence Jones suddenly revised Article II, Section 4 of the US Consitution to moronically claim a president doesn't have to be convicted of a crime to be impeached.

Longtime F&F host Steve Doocy remarked earlier in the segment that House Republicans don't have the stuff to convict Biden. "They've got a lot of ledgers and spreadsheets," he said. "But they have not connected the dots,” Doocy said.

After dragging Hunter Biden into the conversation, Jones decided to change the US Constitution right in front of our eyes.

"Everyone keeps saying, 'Where are the goods for a law that was breaking,' Jones said. "The bottom line was it was unethical what happened and that's enough for impeachment."

Article II, Section 4 reads: The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

The term 'unethical behavior' is not present in impeachment proceedings because lying liars like Jones and his fellow liars in Congress could use that amorphous phrase to give Donald Trump a "see, Biden was impeached too" talking point.
