He will be impeached 100%. But it's unlikely he'll be covicted.

Quote HistoryQuoted: They want to strip him of secret service protection. So that they can, er, delete him. The swamp has no idea what part of their shit he's had eyes on. They want him gone. Its as simple as that.  Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I don't see how it could. The idea is to strip him of his office. How is it possible to do that if he is no longer in office? It's all political kabuki theatre. If he is no longer in the theatre how is that possible? They want to strip him of secret service protection. So that they can, er, delete him. The swamp has no idea what part of their shit he's had eyes on. They want him gone. Its as simple as that. A bunch of hateful assholes. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You may have a point. But for the sake of argument, let's say a President commits a high crime or misdemeanor on his last day in office. Or that the offense isn't even discovered until after the President has already left office. Surely, the founders would have intended for the congress to possess the authority to deny the offender the opportunity to hold public office again, were such a situation to manifest. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Not to nitpick . But it does not say or it says and. In my somewhat feeble mind that would mean the second punishment can only follow the first. If a private citizen cannot be removed from office the whole punishment part would be moot. You may have a point.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Retroactive impeachment. That is not in the constitution. I do understand your point , I am not remotely well versed to discuss the legal ambiguities. If something that egregious happened he or she would be prosecuted by the court and most likely wouldn’t be voted back into office. Let the people decide if they want to vote for a criminal or not unless they are a felon and in prison obviously. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Its not even REALLY about running again (well, maybe for the RINOs it is). The Dems want to strip him of his security detail. They want him to be a target. They want to punish him by actual deletion. They don't EVER want someone to rise outside of the machine politics framework again. They want him gone. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Not enough time to go from House to Senate and once he's out, cannot impeach a private citizen. At least that's what I read on the internet, so it must be true.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes. I don't think there is anything preventing proceedings from going forward after he leaves office. Well, I suspect SCOTUS will rule that the Senate must do trial with the existing Senate as it were at the time the Articles were drafted and voted for. Why? Because the House has a "sitting" ability which could skew a trial in Senate if say the House waited 30day and the Senate was changing in House favor. How will Senate get 2/3 anyway? Not gonna happen. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: He will be impeached 100%. But it's unlikely he'll be covicted. NYT is reporting that Kennedy and McConnell both support a trial. Both have said NYT is lying. I don't think there will be a trial. What are they going to do? Remove him from office? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Article 1 section 3 of the US constitution "Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law." Edit; And not or. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Yes. I don't think there is anything preventing proceedings from going forward after he leaves office.

Edit; And not or. It describes the maximum penalty that can be imposed by impeachment, not a mandatory penalty. So, at most, an impeached officer can be punished with both removal from office and a bar from ever holding another as a consequence of a Senate conviction. Removal appears to be mandatory based on another clause later in the document, but not the bar from office. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: House can impeach and it's likely. One amusing possibility is the senate could find him guilty and set the punishment at removal from office. After he's out. |
