Why say it then? Trump is and will always be (so far) the only twice impeached president in U.S. history. It's as true today as it was in January.
An impeachment vote in the House doesn't throw the president out of office. I honestly can't tell if you know this or not.
No, the trial is. The impeachment is over after the House votes.
Ok.
You can impeach a former president and since he's no longer the current office holder it doesn't require the chief justice to preside.
You guys really are this dumb.
Wrong.
The ONLY legal point of impeachment is the temporary removal from office, so that there can be a trial over permanent removal from office.
Impeachment of one no longer in office already, is totally and completely illegal.
Impeachment is NOT and can NOT be used as a punishment.
And if the person is no longer in office, that is the ONLY possible purpose of impeachment proceedings.
So Trump being impeached twice says NOTHING about Trump, since there was no conviction AFTER the impeachment.
What 2 impeachments that failed to prove anything shows, is total disregard for law by Congress.
They are an indictment of Congress, as the single most partisan and corrupt congress in all of US history.
