He CANNOT preside. He only sits when the defendant is The President. Trump is not.

Doubt it.
As you say, it's not like they can make him, but if he refuses, it seems he would be violating his oath to faithfully discharge his duties.
Is there any sort of mechanism that would allow him to put a stop to it all before it got to the Senate trial level? Because it seems to me that if it got to that point it would be his sworn duty to preside.
That was the rationale first time around, iirc in regards to what I read about him stepping down if he didn't preside. Of course, first time around it was just theoretical on the idea that Trump could potentially muster a defense that called John Roberts as a material witness to the trial, thereby conflicting him. Could be a totally different situation.
Could you expand on your thoughts beyond "doubt it" perhaps?

Maybe he wants to recuse because it might be challenged in the USSC. There would be a conflict of interest there but I think it sends a strong message to the Dems that they need to rethink this and let it die. If they want to keep pushing I could see Joe pardoning him to put this behind the country.

Total fricking clown works in which we reside that the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America states he wants no part of a viable, yet extremely important case that be chooses to defer to Kamala fricking Harris.
This once great nation is now a complete frickshow of epic proportions. Anyone that legitimately voted for this current administration is guilty of treason as far as I'm concerned. Unity?!?!?!? You want unity?!!?!?!
Get ready for the next staged "mass shooting" so they can come after your firearms. They will say it is a white supremacist and domestic terrorist while turning a blind eye to the events of the last four years.
Present day democrats are less than pond the amoeba feeding off of pond scum. There is not a single career politician working for anyone's interest but their own slimy pockets. We have all been duped. Every single one of us.
There will never be another fair election again. You like your doctor, you can keep it. How did that work? Socialized healthcare is next. You like your 401k that"s been on steroids the last four years, yeah we will see about that. You like your low cost of gasoline? You like the comfort of America being feared across the globe? Not happening.
NTY OP:
To each and every one of you liberal pieces of steaming shite, GFY from the bottom of my toenails. Every single goddamn one of you. Treasonous leaches. Buyer's remorse yet you pieces of shite?

They want no part of allowing Trump anywhere near a court room.
Roberts understands that would ruin the courts image
They'd just be people, not god like creations, floating in the ether, above us, mere mortals.
On the other hand, I'd love to see Kamala put Trump on trial. That's about the dumbest thing they could possible do.
So I hope they do it.

Chief Justice Roberts reportedly does not want to preside over a second Trump impeachment
Roberts is AFRAID. He is a coward. He refuses to do his job. It is his job to preside over an impeachment, not Kamala. Where in the Constitution does it say Kamala presides over an impeachment.
Roberts is afraid if Trump is not impeached, they will come for him. He is afraid if Trump is impeached they will come for him. He is compromised by his fears.

I think you are right.
And I guess if he issues an "opinion" that he will not participate because the procedure is improper, he effectively does the same thing. And that would be a very shrewd move on his part. He then could likely still participate in the review as a SCOTUS justice when it comes up.
Old John may be playing some three-D chess here.

Roberts thinks he can avoid being viewed as a partisan. He’s probably too far into his charade to ditch it.

That’s only till they remind Roberts of the tapes they have of him on pedo island.

Where does it say a chief justice can refuse?
Maybe he's saying he can't preside over a trial of an x official because such a trial is unconstitutional?

They are moving forward on a trial set to take place within two weeks so Roberts must be on board
