Subject: give content
Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести фразу:
The impeachment procedure, outlined in the Constitution, has been given content over the two years since its adoption.

Не могу уловить нюанс, да и Present Perfect меня смущает.

Заранее благодарю.

Don't you find it weird that the most important paper of the state gets beefed up on with time?

First, I do translate what's there to translate and question the contents immediately afterwards noramlly by leaving some pertinent notes in parentheses.
Second, it's widely known the US constitution has some amendments to it, 26 altogether that were added to it over/with time.
Third, the impeachment procedure is a 'tricky' issue (if only for the fact that no US president has ever been impeached and removed from office) so it's no wonder that it keeps the legislator persistently at work to improve or perfect it.
That's it. So Given the above i find it only naturaly and logical rather than weird.

Normally, we are informal and casual on the forum, so 'lower case I' comes with the territory, so to speak. )

It happens all the time. Just have a peek at their forums and all. Just ask around to be on the safe side.

I know it does. Yet I know it's not right.

So what we brings us closer to the one of the most fundamental and philosophical issues under sun, what's right and wrong and why the wrong replaces the right or the right gives in to the wrong. )
