Very interesting questions that arise because of those are fascinating including what does trump do and when if anything
Trump can do nothing and it means nothing unless he wants to run for political office again at which point he would raise the issue then and say that it was invalid
He can try and fight but raise it’s invalid. Either way it’s going to scotus

What, Mazie Hirono wasn't available?
To complete the farce, Leahy should assign Frito Pendejo as Trump's legal counsel

That's pretty clear now. They're scared of potential blowback if they proceed forward.

Interesting, there was a hard hitting MSM piece that came out on him a couple of days ago.
Senator Patrick Leahy, third in line to be US president, appeared in five 'Batman' films

The man third in line for US presidential succession is not only a staunch Batman supporter from the DC universe but has known the superhero for more than 80 years and is in the US Senate, Patrick Leahy. A Democrat from Vermont, Senator Patrick Leahy is a Batman aficionado and is also the longest-serving member of the current Senate known for turning his fandom into philanthropy. At one instance, he has even used comics to promote his legislative agenda.

Going to look ridiculous when their impeachment farce gets thrown out in the Supreme Court.
Doesn't the Constitution require the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court preside over impeachment trials?

I assume Trump wouldn’t show up for the show trial.
I suppose there’s an argument for being there and trying to turn the proceedings against the Democrats though.

The Supreme Court sends the Trump emoluments case back to the lower court with instructions to dismiss as moot.

From the constitution:
quote:
When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside
And there's the rub. Trump isn't the president so it can (but does not have to be) someone else.
Puts a finer point on the "can you impeach someone not in office" question.

Yes, and it's pretty clear and explicit:
"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside"

What a shite show.

I didn't expect Trump would run again but if his plan is to throw his support into certain R's to unseat incumbents he can frick around that way. I say knock yourselves out preventing him from running for Pres again so everyone can see who the bigger assholes are.

Proving it’s a sham.

Can the House impeach and the Senate try any citizen?
What a farce this is?

Article 1, Section 3, Clauses 6 and 7
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried the Chief Justice shall preside; And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

If there is a conviction and it goes before SCOTUS....
Roberts refusing to preside tells you all you need to know.
Posted on 1/25/21 at 12:39 pm to Music_City_Tiger
Because Roberts will most likely need to be called as an accuser or witness.
