Senate cannot try a private citizen !!!

[Nostra]

What a crock of shit.

The Constitution clearly states the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court “SHALL” preside over impeachment trials of a President.

what about “SHALL” confuses you?

Fuckstick Leahy isn’t on the Supreme Court.

The chief justice shall preside over impeachment trials of a president.

Just FYI, Trump isn't president, that position is currently held by Joseph R. Biden.

Correct. Trump is no longer President, so the Constitution has no provision to put him on trial.

 

[postman]

So what? Neither did Johnson's nor Clinton's. It's still a stain on a presidency that can't be washed away.

There have been four presidential impeachments. And half of them were Trump.

The fact that Roberts refuses to preside over this Fascist politically partisan 'lynching' is a subtle declaration of how it is UN-CONSTITUTIONAL.....not that doing something Un-Constitutional has ever been a concern for Democrats.

Wrong. Roberts won't be there because:
1) Nobody invited him
2) It's for impeachment trials of the president only

What you should ask is, if they started the trial while Trump was still in office, with Roberts sitting, came noon on January 20th, would Roberts have been free to leave, and Kamala Harris take over?

He doesn’t need an invitation. The Constitution says he is required for a trial.

He knows it is a sham.

Correct. Trump is no longer President, so the Constitution has no provision to put him on trial.

The constitution says that the senate will try all impeachments.

They still have an article of impeachment that they have to hold a trial for. They don't have a choice, It's in the constitution.

 

[bripat9643]

It is, Dummy.

Show me where impeachment is for former Presidents.

Impeachment trials are not for former Presidents either, Halfwit.

You lose again.

You're half right. Impeachments are for President/Vice President, and officers of the US only.

Impeachment trials are for anybody who was impeached.

Wrong. Read the Constitution, you fucking moron. It clearly says that an impeachment trial is for THE PRESIDENT.

 

[postman]

It ended when he left office, Stupid. Congress has no power to put a private citizen on trial.

Once again that pesky Constitution destroys your bullshit.

You aren't just wrong, you're suspension bridge wrong. The senate not only can bring ordinary citizens to trial, they DID bring ordinary citizens to trial. And even tried and convicted one. I already posted the case, look for McCabe.

Actually anybody entering the congressional chambers needs an invitation. That's why the rioters were charged, for being there, without an invitation.

 

[MadDog]

Your boys during Trump's inauguration American hater.

Anarchists aren’t anyone’s boys. You are just desperate now.

There was no outrage over on your side when it happens to a Republican. Only silence, and in fact Harris raised funds for bail for the democrat scumbags over the summer. That should get her impeached.

No, Harris didn't. You scumbags are trying to treat a legitimate protest over murders of unarmed citizens that actually happened to an insurrection because of something that didn't. There is no equivalence.

1 day of rioting incited and engaged in by Antifa and BLM, the 1st Trump even in hundreds, with millions attending those events combined, in which violence occurred...but it was just another day of violence for Antifa and BLM.

The destruction caused by these foreign-funded Democrat-supported domestic terrorist has cost our communities hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars...

...and unlike the Capitol event, it continues...just as Harris said it would...just as she called for it to continue.

"IT SHOULD NOT STOP. WE SHOULD NOT STOP!'

Left-wing riots rattle US cities even after President Biden's inauguration

Left-wing protests have rattled a handful of cities across the U.S. even after President Biden's inauguration – leading to vandalism of government buildings and at least 20 arrests.

IMPEACH HER ASS!

Not that accuracy matters to you...but supporting PROTESTS is far different from supporting riots.

You hate both in the case of the events of the summer and SUPPORT both in the case of the Capitol Insurrection

Don't look now but you are doing the same thing. Who decides what is a riot and what is a protest?

No one but Trumpers could watch and hear all the video of those SAVAGES who broke in to the capitol searching for Pence to hang him, and others, or brutally and viciously attacking Capitol police with flag poles still bearing our sacred flag and 2x4s, and fire extinguishers,

could not know the attack on the capitol was a riot and insurrection.

You lost your "the party of law and order" claim....that you never should have owned in the first place.

And you think that you can judge American citizens without due process and still claim to favor law and order? I don't.

If Trump feels he’s being denied due process, why doesn’t he file suit to stop it. Trump supporters keep arguing that the trial is unconstitutional and illegal. If that’s the case, why hasn’t Trump sued to stop it.

 

[Nostra]

No Chief Justice, no legitimate trial.


Case closed.


The Constitution grants the Senate the sole power to try all impeachments, and establishes four requirements for an impeachment trial in the Senate: (1) the support of two-thirds of Senators present is necessary to convict; (2) Senators must take an oath or an affirmation; (3) the punishments the Senate can issue cannot extend further than removal from office and disqualification from holding future office; and (4) in the case of a presidential impeachment trial, the Chief Justice, and not the Vice President or a Senator, is the presiding officer.

Wrong. Read the Constitution, you fucking moron. It clearly says that an impeachment trial is for THE PRESIDENT.

Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 grants the sole power of impeachment to the House of Representatives;

Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 assigns the Senate sole responsibility to try impeachments;

quite that part of the Constitution.

Sectio

Congress has very limited, specific enumerated powers. Trying a private citizen is not included.

if it is unconstitutional to try Trump, why hasnt he filed suit claiming just that. His failure to file suit is a CONCESSION that the trial must be constitutional.

 

[MadDog]

Correct. Trump is no longer President, so the Constitution has no provision to put him on trial.

Trump hasn’t filed suit to claim unconstitutionality. He’s conceding the point.

 

[MadDog]

(4) in the case of a presidential impeachment trial, the Chief Justice, and not the Vice President or a Senator, is the presiding officer.

Misleading. The constitution doesnt cite a presidential impeachment trial. It says the trial of THE PRESIDENT. If you were right, Roberts would be forced to preside. Clearly he doesn’t agree with you.

 

[postman]

Congress has very limited, specific enumerated powers. Trying a private citizen is not included.

Trying ordinary citizens is in congresses "inherent" powers.

The inherent powers of the national government are powers it exercises simply because it is a government. Section 1-5. II.
