The impeachment hearing against US President Donald Trump took an ugly turn when a professor of law from the prestigious Stanford University took the name of his minor son Barron during her testimony before a Congressional panel, drawing an angry reaction from First Lady Melania. Pamela S Karlan made the remarks while explaining the president’s rights under the Constitution during the impeachment proceedings by House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
It all started in response to a question from Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee from Democratic Party. “Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article 2 does not give him the power to do anything he wants, and I’ll just give you one example that shows you the difference between him and a king, which is the Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron,” Karlan said.
