You've been eviscerated on that idiotic claim. Yet you raise it again?

Is this some form of internet-related NSSID?

Going to have a long hill to climb to prove any relevance with this statement. But I'm sure you have your evidence lined up, right?

Who was convicted of impeachment?


A lot of people have been over the years.

We are discussing Constitutional interpretation, so hypotheticals are allowed.

I’m surprised they didn’t turn it down and say “no standing”.

Of course it did. Those facts are not even in dispute.

dozens of lawsuits that MAGA lost in court.
They weren't lost. They were malignantly avoided. i.e., the courts claimed plaintiffs had "no standing". Courts maintained that stance for over 2 1/2 yrs until it was established on review that their rulings were FOS. Of course by then though, there was no "remedy."

It did though. That is why Congress closed it several months later.

Apparently you missed that little detail, or Don Lemon was too busy feeding you other things to pass it on.

There is no need to be cryptic and accusatory.

Just say, "Yes, I believe 'office under the United Ststes' only applies to appointed positions, and therefore the emoluments clause and the impeachment disqualification clause do not apply to any elected officials."

Why make everyone play guessing games?

The problem is you think your feelings override the Constitution. You've constantly been reminded that they don't, so I'll remind you again.

Facts don't care about your feelings.

Doesn’t the electoral college already solve this issue, technically the electors can choose whomever they want to be president.

And Bama didn't lose on Monday, we just ran out of time. Same outcome, a loss is a loss no matter how you go about it.

That Congress took action to fortify language to ensure that you and your insurrectionist buddies don't try the same "one neat trick" in 2025 doesn't mean that your attempt 3 years ago today was any more legal at the time.

The Vice President did not have the power to overturn the election because he didn't like the outcome. No matter how many times you say that, you won't be right.

Your ignorance knows no bounds. The Wisconsin Supreme Court disagrees. And since all we need is one state Supreme Court to make a finding, per your standard, we can say the election was not conducted legally.

Game, set, match. Moron.

Correct.
No one has made that claim.

The VP had the power to send the result to the House.
VP capacity in the EC rules allowed it.

The House had power to hear arguments contained in TX v PA. The House had the power to render a correct electoral result, whatever it may have determined such a correct result to have been. All Constitutional, all legal, despite what your CNN cretins may have told you.

Congressional rule changes in Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act confirm the validity of legitimate belief that there was an enabling VP EC loophole to work with.

He did not - there were no disputes about electoral votes that needed adjudication.

Irrelevant, and even if it was relevant, it's complete bullshite. TX v PA was demonstrative of that. Nonetheless, the only relevant fact is that Pence did not have to open envelopes of disputed states. Adjudication would then be addressed by the House.

"If only Mike Pence would do the right thing..."

Once again, your feelings attempt to override facts.

The more relevant fact is that no states were disputed. Every state only sent one slate of electors, duly chosen pursuant to state law. There was no dispute outside of Trump's mind and the minds of those gullible enough to follow him - and that isn't the speck of enough to overthrow our government.

You are agreeing that Trump believes he won.

Good, that's part of his defense.
