It's pure politics. Impeachment is only an accusation. It's not a conviction and I doubt the Senate will try a private citizen. The Constitution says impeachment is for Federal officers only, not private citizens. Trump will not be a federal officer in 6 days.
their goal is if they can get a conviction he wont be able to run in 2024,,, and they can do that after he leaves office,,
NO. The Senate is not a court. They cannot try a private citizen and impeachment is only for federal officers.
this is an impeachment not a criminal court,, but the outcome is the same,, from my understanding they can do it after he leaves office,,
Not true you can not remove a president from office if he is no longer in office...and that is the definition of impeachment...the removal from office.....
I didnt write the rules,, I do hope youre right though,,
The intent and rules of impeachment say it can not be used as a weapon...its a tool for removing an elected official and allowing it after a new congress senate and president is seated is unconstitutional and would be considered political retaliation by the supreme court....
Your spot-on. Plus they did this knowing there would never be a trial. This is all theater at the moment.
Schumer said today...There would be a trial...but that is empty. Just noise. He'll come back next week and
say the virus needs our attention, say some other bad things about Trump and it will die.
They are just scared that Biden will eventually **** everything up and Trump will seize on the moment.
They will not be able to keep him off the airways forever. And when he returns it will be clkassic.
Right now the GOP, just needs to correct state voting laws and instruct state legislators how to use the
courts, if there laws are being broken before a vote is cast. GOP controls 28 state legislatures so that
will give them all the clout in 2022. You just can't let people vote in violation of state law. Once those
votes are cast, you will play hell trying to find the illegal ones in just a couple of weeks.
This fight needs to go to the States for the moment. It is a census year and more Red states will be
gaining spots in the House than Blue states. (Not even counting when you have to redistrict because of the
added slots, you can make a couple of other districts red with just the stroke of a pen.)
Just play the game the right way. Start where the trouble was...State Legislators not allowed to control
the laws that they write. Clean that up first and everything will be on track to retake the House.
GOP will only need 5 slots to regain control.
