    Hilary isn't president - why do people still talk about her so much?

    Hilary Clinton holds no political office. She hasn't held any political office for almost 12 years and hasn't even run for office in 8. Yet she is constantly being brought up or quoted in threads here. Why?

    Constitutionality of Biden's Impeachment

    So something occurred to me. Most of the talk about impeaching Biden is around his supposed actions as Vice President right? But he's no longer Vice President. And many Republicans claimed during Trump's second impeachment that he couldn't be impeached or tried because he was no longer in...

    Constitution Drafting Project.

    So I stumbled across this by the National Constitution Center. Late last year they had three teams of legal scholars performs a thought experiment and asked them to come up with a draft constitution. They did so from three different perspectives; conservative, progressive and libertarian. All...

    "John ROberts Refused to Preside Over Impeachment"

    So I have an honest question. I keep seeing these claims that CJ Roberts "refused" to presides over the impeachment trial and that being used as an argument to prove that it's unConstitutional. What is that being based off of? I haven't seen any statement from CJ Roberts or SCOTUS, and the...

    A modest proposal

    There is so much division and debate about the election and who the next President is going to be. As such, I have a humble suggestion. We let Trump succeed in his attempt to over turn the election, but only if we do it using the definition that Republicans have been working under for the last 4...

    Biden Stepping Down

    So I have a question. I've noticed that it seems to be an article of faith for some posters here that Biden will step down from the Presidency before his first term is over, with some people even saying it will happen within a matter of months. Here's my question though. Why would he go through...

    Help finding specific icon.

    So I was hoping you could help me here. I remember seeing years a go this really powerful icon of the Forerunner holding the chalice with Christ inside it. I'm making a prayer corner in my new home and i want to use that image. But i don't know what it's called and can't seem to find it anywhere.

    Point of the debates

    So debates are a huge part of our political system. People already are talking about the debates between Trump and Biden. But what is the point of them? Why is debate performance considered important for an executive. I can see it a bit more for legislature where trying to convince a bunch of...

    Clerical dress

    So here's a question I have. I went to seminary in a tradition that is officially egalitarian (in practice, meh it could be better) so I have a lot of friends who are women who happen to be pastors. But I have noticed that they as a whole tend to wear clerical clothing (aka a collar) far more...

    Justification and "True Christians"

    So I'm not sure this is the right forum, but it was the closest I could think of. This thread is also primarily directed at Protestants, though of course I would like the perspective of Catholic and Orthodox folk. So here's my question. Protestants believe in justification by Christ alone...

    Trump/Biden double standard

    So I have a question. I've noticed that some people are bringing up Biden's health, both physical and mental, and saying that he won't finish out his term. Yet none of those people seem to have the same concern about Trump. Why is that? He's only 4 years younger and they both have said some...

    Usefulness of High and Low labels.

    One of the things i love about being Anglican is how comprehensive it can be. But one thing I noticed is how much we love to use labels to describe individual beliefs. In particular I can think of High Church, Low Church and the related but distinct Evangelical and Anglo Catholic. Are these...

    Evangelical Support for Trump

    So, this is an honest question, because I really don't understand it. Why do so many evangelicals support Trump so much? He by appearance was only a nominal Christian before he decided to run for President, has been married multiple times, usually to women he cheated on the previous wife with...
