It takes 67 senate votes to convict, so he would be acquitted even if 66 senators voted to convict.Or with 66 votes.Well, and I'm truly sorry to tell you this, I'm pretty sure the law doesn't give one tiny little fuck about your choice of titles. Trump was impeached as President and will be tried as a former president.How would you address Donald J. Trump today?As pointed out before, the Constitution does not require that.Is Trump still receiving benefits from his time as president?Where does the Senate get the jurisdiction to put a private citizen on trial? From what I can find only the Article 3 courts have that authority.
Your thoughts?
.
Then:
" Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law. "
The Constitution does not require a person to be holding office to be impeached. Since Trump is still receiving benefits now and into the future and can run for office again impeachment is the sole political solution to the allegations against him.
Go back and read post 14, the Constitution does require people to be holding office to be impeached. Once a person leaves office there are no "political solutions" available. The Constitution only give congress the jurisdiction to impeach current office holders.

Heās been impeached and the Senate has the sole power to try ALL impeachments. What part of the word āallā donāt you understand. Cuz itās really pretty simple.
Article 2 isnāt the only mention of impeachment. Disqualification is mentioned elsewhere. And thereās always that thing that the Senate has the power to try ALL impeachments. References it impeachment occur in multiple parts of the Constitution, not just the part that you mistakenly think is exclusionary.Is Trump still receiving benefits from his time as president?Where does the Senate get the jurisdiction to put a private citizen on trial? From what I can find only the Article 3 courts have that authority.

Repeat after me a-l-l spells all.
Repeat after me, "you can't remove someone who holds no office".

MR. PRESIDENT
So, your argument fails.
Care to try again?
Want to talk salary?
Health care?
SS protection?
Travel allowance?
Security Briefings?
Your argument fails on all counts.
I don't address any politician by their title, nor do I expect them to address me in a manner that reflects the many job titles I've held over my life.

Sorry for your loss
Or it could be dismissed with 51 votes. How hard would you cry if that happened?
.
Or with 66 votes, what?
