Democrats Cannot Impeach Trump, and Cannot Impeach Him After Leaving Office

So says Alan Dershowitz
Not that the Democrats give two fricks about the US Constitution

Not that the Democrats give two fricks about the US Constitution
quote:
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Democrats have virtually no chance of successfully impeaching and removing President Donald Trump before Inauguration Day on Jan. 20.
“The case cannot come to trial in the Senate. Because the Senate has rules, and the rules would not allow the case to come to trial until, according to the majority leader, until 1 p.m. on January 20th, an hour after President Trump leaves office,” Dershowitz said in a Fox Business interview on Sunday.
Dershowitz, who defended Trump during the Senate impeachment trial about a year ago, suggested that the Constitution does not allow for impeaching a former president.

I'm not sure about that (meaning after leaving office) but he is correct, there is no way of getting trial done anyway.

So does crazy Nancy, hence her being on her knees lapping at Pence in order to get him to lead on the 25th Amdmt.

Impeachment is not their goal. It’s to beat into submission anyone who shares the values of Donald Trump. The message is this: “We will do the same to you if you dare think and act like Trump“.

These are the people who did this the first time at the beginning of a pandemic and then criticized Trump for taking a dump instead of "doing his job."
How do they live with themselves?

I mean. they obviously don't so I don't think the rules really matter at this point.

Alan 'bout to get canceled for saying such things.

He's right

Isn't he the guy that defended Epstein and may have participated with Epstein's crimes?

GDI. The constitution, rules, and precedent don’t mean anything to Demorats.
Trump 1/20/2021.

The first part of your title is categorically incorrect. The House could easily impeach Trump in very short order, what is very unlikely is the Senate convicting him unless Mitch changes the Senate's schedule along with getting the votes.

This is more debatable. Article II doesn't speak to this specifically but it is arguable that there is no impeachment after an officers term is up via the verbiage "removed from office" in Art II Sect 4. I don't think it was written with any forethought to an officer being impeached after they left office, however, I would argue that they absolutely could impeach an officer, once their term was over given part of a conviction, can carry the prohibition to hold "any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States" clause so it would still be germane.
There is no precedent here and as we commonly say ask 10 Con Law attorneys a question and you will get 11 answers.
This is really all academic since I don't think there is a chance to get the votes in the Senate for conviction even if Mitch changes the schedule.

So if that is possible, it would also allow a future administration to impeach Obama ?

Pathological lying, narcissistic rage, autocratic leanings...
Yeah...pretty much that kind of thinking and behavior deserves to be stamped out. The majority of Americans did not want King Trump.

They used made up laws the first time, so reality won’t get in their way.

Not that I agree with your characterization, but the sole purpose of the 1A is to protect that which you find most vile.

Yeah, even if the Trump call to Ukraine was as bad as they say it was, it still wasn't even an impeachable offense.
"Go investigate my political enemy." OK, so he (I don't even believe this) used his position of power to investigate a personal rival.
You can impeach over someone looking into things?

Correct. I don't think anything in Title II prevents an impeachment post office BUT I doubt it would ever happen since charging them with the crimes the impeachment would be based upon would be a more expedient way to handle it.
