Beaufort County Commissioners Ask for the Suspension of President Donald J. Trump's Impeachment | Eastern North Carolina Now

    January 12, 2022 - Publisher's note: Due to a publishing SNAFU, I have been remiss in my duties, here at BCN, regarding the proper categorization of county government publications; in particular, the Enhanced County Government Videos, begun August 1, 2019.

    Therefore, to thoroughly correct this miscue, I will make the proper categorical correction, and bring these archives forward beginning on January 12, 2022; mixing these historical patterns of fact in with the current news of our day. Some posts brought forward will not be video broadcasts, but most informative posts as to who and what you Beaufort County Commissioners are, and how they govern.


Against the backdrop of the presidential Impeachment lunacy foisted upon the American people by the Democratic Socialists in the majority of the House of Representatives, the Beaufort County Commissioners make a resolute stand to beg for sanity.

    Beaufort County's largest governing body - a body politic of the State of North Carolina - voted 5 to 2 at this December general meeting, by resolution, to ask for the suspension of the Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump. Only the two Democratic Socialists on Beaufort County's board of county commissioners voted against the resolution.

    This initiative was brought to the Beaufort County Commissioners by private citizen Ray Leary, who presented the resolution to the Beaufort County Commissioners, under my (Commissioner Stan Deatherage) appropriation on the agenda, parcially as a dare, for the commissioners to act in respect to there actually being a majority of Republicans serving the people of Beaufort County as their elected leaders. Below are comments made by Mr. Ray Leary in the Public Comment time space allocated to the public before the beginning of this and every meeting:

  • 12/2/2019
  • Beaufort County, NC Commission Meeting – Public Comments
  • Ray Leary
  • Commissioners,
  • There is a resolution on today’s agenda supporting President Trump in the current ill-conceived impeachment movement for nothing more than performing his constitutional duties.
  • Recently elected Representative Greg Murphy needs to know that Beaufort County North Carolina supports President Trump in opposing the liberals in their effort to impeach him in the House of Representatives.
  • I urge this commission to support this resolution and let Representative Greg Murphy, North Carolina's two Republican senators, and the President of the United States know that this Republican majority Beaufort County commission does not support the liberals effort to undo the will of the people as demonstrated during the 2016 presidential election by delivering 306 electoral votes in the election of President Donald Trump.
  • Failure to support this resolution will demonstrate that the five republican majority on this commission are something less than advertised.

    The resolution, very quietly written by Beaufort County Commissioner Stan Deatherage (me), was read by Mr. Leary from the public's floor at that meeting, where the resolution passed with only one word being changed; changing the word from beg to ask in reference to the request section of the resolution shown here below with all changes:

  • Resolution to Request the Suspension of the Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump by the United States House of Representatives

  • Whereas, the Beaufort County Commissioners of the Great State of North Carolina emphatically support the United States Constitution, and duly believe and champion that Article I, Section 2 provides that the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment", and Article II, Section 4 of that document provides for the Impeachment of a United States President for "Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors," and;
  • Whereas, the Beaufort County Commissioners unreservedly support those aforementioned Constitutional provisions, understanding that Impeachment of a constitutionally elected President is a solemn act, and know that before a United States President should be Impeached for "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors," that accused President must have unquestionably committed one of these prescribed crimes, and;
  • Whereas, in the history of the United States Government's history of 45 presidents, only four of those presidents have been subjected to an Impeachment Inquiry (Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton and Donald Trump); only two presidents have been Impeached (Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton; Richard Nixon resigned before Impeachment), and;
  • Whereas, also in the history of these four Impeachment Inquiries: Two involved actual crimes (Presidents Nixon and Clinton); two did not (Presidents Johnson and Trump); whereby in the case of President Andrew Johnson, he was an unelectable president, unlike President Donald Trump who is extremely electable for a second term, whose support has only increased during the Faux Impeachment Inquiry of 2019, conducted by Intel Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, D, Ca., a man of high partisanship and questionable character, who despises fairness and due process, and;
  • Whereas, the Beaufort County Commissioners stridently believe that the act of Impeachment of a constitutionally elected President is an instrument of profound consequence, designed by our Founders to be exercised in only the most extreme circumstances, certainly not as a partisan instrument to remove a popular political foe that these Democratic Socialists, in control of the House in the 116th Congress, despise and are publicly sworn to act as the organized "resistance" to Mr. Trump's active endeavor to better govern the People of these United States, and;
  • Whereas, in the history of our Republic, this current exercise of an "Impeachment Inquiry in Search of a Crime" is the only one of these four aforementioned Impeachment Inquiries that was not bipartisan in political nature, and that if President Donald J. Trump is Impeached by a majority of Democratic Socialists, the Republican controlled Senate - constitutionally charged with the trial of this President - could summarily dismiss, or allow a trial, where there shall be Due Process, Fairness, and all manner of witnesses called (unlike the Sham Inquiry in the People's House) these charges will not be prosecuted, therefore;
  • Let it be resolved, The Beaufort County Commissioners do hereby humbly beg ask the House of Representatives Leadership of the 116th Congress to suspend the possible Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump, and allow the political process of a presidential election, within the next 11 months, to become the remedy to remove this president ... or not, either of which would be the exact will of the People of this Constitutional Republic.

    Over the years, I have discovered that anonymity often works well in politics, and governing in areas where petty politics are an integral component in the power construct for certain majorities; espcecially if this elected official is often in the minority.

Against the backdrop of the presidential Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump by the Democratic Socialists in the majority of the U.S. House of Representatives: What should become the historical fulfillment of this President?
  President Trump should be Impeached by the House and convicted in the U.S. Senate.
  President Trump should not be Impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives.
  I never think about stuff like this.

Remarkably, we are finding, after the Judiciary Committee's deliberations and debates of 0121219, that today's Democratic Socialists are "great American patriots" as well.
