House may send articles of impeachment for Trump even after he leaves office

House Majority Whip James Clyburn on Sunday said House Democrats might wait until after President-elect Joe Biden's first 100 days in office to send any articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump to the Senate, a move that would give the incoming President time to tackle his agenda in Congress before the start of a time-consuming trial.
"We'll take the vote that we should take in the House, and (House Speaker Nancy Pelosi) will make the determination as to when is the best time to get that vote and get the managers appointed and move that legislation over to the Senate," Clyburn told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
"It just so happens that if it didn't go over there for 100 days, it could -- let's give President-elect Biden the 100 days he needs to get his agenda off and running, and maybe we'll send the articles sometime after that," the South Carolina Democrat added.
Pelosi said Friday that Democrats are prepared to move forward this week with impeaching Trump over his role in last week's deadly attack on the US Capitol if he doesn't resign. Democrats plan to introduce their impeachment resolution on Monday, which already has more than 190 co-sponsors.
By impeaching and removing Trump, even at this late stage of his term, the Senate could subsequently vote to disqualify him from ever holding federal office again, taking an extraordinary action against a former president.
Several congressional Republicans have made clear they want to see Trump leave office.
Sen. Pat Toomey told Tapper on the same program Sunday that he thinks Trump should resign. The Pennsylvania Republican -- now the second Republican US senator to call for Trump's resignation -- had previously said he thinks Trump "committed impeachable offenses," but that he wasn't sure removing him this close to the end of his term was the right course of action.
Alaska GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski said Friday that the President should step down from office, telling the Anchorage Daily News of Trump, "I want him out. He has caused enough damage."
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, meanwhile, has endorsed invoking the 25th Amendment, which would force Trump's removal.

What Agenda?
He didn't take a single policy stand in the entire general election

The Gerald Ford precedent comes to mind...
Can Trump issue himself a blanket pardon for anything done in office?
Ford gave such a pardon to Nixon around 1975 specifically to end the Watergate circus.

Unity! We demand it.
Unity is just the latest buzzword the left uses to mask their true intentions. Which in the case of our President, is total destruction.

Trump is not running in 2024, this was a clear panic mode that was probably orchestrated to happen.
Its in the script. <------

It’s a way to still run on “we hate Trump” despite Trump being out of office.
It has the added benefit of distracting from Biden’s mental state collapsing due to dementia.

Doubtful, especially after packing scotus with originalists. Weird how he creates almost all of his difficulties.

If TDS hasn’t yet been designated an official mental disorder, this should seal the deal.

You can't impeach a private citizen.

These are the logical actions of those that benefited from a legitimate election process.
