The Senate has already impeached and tried an office holder, the secretary of war, after he no longer held the seat.
He was not the president, the constitution specifically enumerates the president and assigns him special powers and privileges and this conviction will be fought fiercely, especially when the charge is specious and gratuitous. There was no insurrection, not even the people actually ARRESTED there are being charged as such and Trump had no hand, conscious or otherwise in directing them.
Get stuffed.
Trump had everything to do with it.... He seeded the big lie, and egged it on.
As far as your c l aim the President is different than the vp and office holders......your claim, has no legs.
The constitution's impeachment clause is written with all three positions are held equally, in the same sentence regarding impeachment.
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.
Very nice. Trump is no longer in office. They are scared he will run again and it will be much harder to defraud him a second time. That is the truth, try admitting it.
They are most certainly trying to strip him from being able to run for any office, ever again. It's the sole purpose for the impeachment, even after he no longer held the office. No one is hiding that purpose.
Then that would fail since this process is unconstitutional
What process is unconstitutional? Impeachment?
There is no Mulligan for a President or any office holder, committing an abusive or criminal act, 2 weeks from leaving office.... impeachment does not just disappear because the abuse took place two weeks from leaving.
You cannot remove what is not there. Democrats have conducted a four year sideshow. If anybody embarrasses this country it is those assholes.
There are two separate votes required to complete a Senate impeachment trial.
One VOTE to convict and remove from office or not. Takes 2/3s voting to convict.
And the second, separate vote required, which only requires a majority vote, not the 2/3s vote, is whether or not to strip those impeached, from ever holding office again.
You can't vote to strip him from holding office again, without the impeachment trial, and that vote cast...
Thus, his holding office or not, matters naught....
Why are they so scared of one man? This much fuss you can bet he was working for the people. That is not done in DC. He had to be doing something right and that is not done in DC either.
You have admitted fraud by hiding evidence and censorship of the topic. You know you cannot beat him in a fair election. That is what you are admitting now. How is that serving the people like the government should?
We did beat him, by a landslide...7 million plus votes and 306 to 232 electoral votes.
Trump concocted the Big Lie, that the election was stolen from him months before the election was held, when his internal polling told him he was going to lose big-time to Biden.
You defrauded Trump. There was massive fraud and now a massive cover up that has failed.
There truly and honestly was no massive voter fraud. You've been convinced there was... I can see that...but you've been conned, by a bunch of con artists...God as my witness!
There truly and honestly was no massive voter fraud.
No. There was truly and honestly massive fraud. Biden is a BOGUS POTUS.
Then tell me exactly what massive voter fraud took place, in at least 3 to 4 of these contentious battle ground, that would have been enough, to over turn that state's election.
There have been so many bogus claims that truly have been debunked, many because procedures were just misunderstood and even twisted to appear bad, when they weren't.
But if there are any that I may not have researched yet, I'd like to know them...So I can dig in to the details.
The Trump team of lawyers have act u ally not brought any actual fraud cases to court. All those cases that dems remind trumpets they lost in court were not fraud cases, but election law procedural issues... and they brought the same procedural issues to as many as ten states, losing in all of them, because the relief they were asking in every one of those cases, was to invalidate ALL absentee ballots in a county with a big city, and mostly minority voters, legally and constitutionally granted the rig h t to vote...because a handful of absentee ballot envelopes May have had a signature not checked, and things like that...and the case Judges basically said, ARE YOU CRAZY? to the Trump lawyers.
No cases of vote switching, or Dominion voting machine irregularities, or milktary swat teams capturing voter servers in Germany, or ballot stuffing, or any of the accusations made by Giuliani and team, in your right wing media was brought to court, by Giuliani and team....not one....ask yourself why not even one?
My bet is the law teams know if they presented a known bogus claim to the court, they could lose their law licences or censured in the least.

Trump has to overturn too many states, to even come close to winning enough electoral votes... It's an impossible task, imo.
