Storming the Capitol

[DriveInDriveOut]

Enough senators to acquit him already voted on a resolution declaring the trial unconstitutional. Its predetermined.

56-44 in favor of it being constitutional including 6 Republicans .

In the morning maybe you can go down to your public lbrary and try to find out how many senators are needed to acquit him.
Brilliant lol!

Because Trump is no longer president and it's his second impeachment trial in the Senate the CJ can refuse to sit on the second trial which Roberts did do The job then falls to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate.

Is that in the Constitution? Or did Roberts just refuse to be part of it?

56-44 in favor of it being constitutional including 6 Republicans . You'll be able to read all about it in the morning when you can go down to the public library and use their free internet.

56-44 in favor of going forward. The constitutionality of it would be up to a court to decide.

So far no one has been charged as a terrorist for storming the Capitol.

No one actually believes the trial is unconstitutional. That’s a fiction so republicans can pretend to object to the process.

Can you find in the Constitution having a Senate trial to remove a president who has already left office? Thanks but no thanks for speaking for everyone.

“You can’t take back your county with weakness”. “You have to show strength”

does this mean everyone needs to work out before they vote?

Well there you go, Trump told them to take back the county, not the country.

I love the way they just wing it. I heard that on the third impeachment you get a free coffee.

The Constitution provides that the President “shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors,” but it says nothing about the timing of when the impeachment and trial may take place.

It's to remove the president from office so how's that possible when he's already gone?

 

[It will be fine]

He was impeached while he was in office. Robert’s has to sit for a trial of the President. The President is Joe Biden now. This all a plain text reading of the constitution, something conservatives claim to love.

It makes no sense for presidents who commit misconduct late in their terms, or perhaps not discovered until late in their terms, to be immune from what the Constitution allows ; barring them from serving in any other federal office or from receiving any federal pensions.

They are not immune.
Charge them in criminal court.
Oh wait, Democraps don't want to do that because they know he would be found not guilty.

Impeachment hoax.
Again.

He's about to be acquitted because enough senators believe the trial is unconstitutional. The opinion of one of Freddy's overseers is irrelevant.

Is Roberts presiding over this trial? Why not?

The penalties for impeachment are designed to protect the republic from the very type of people who have abused their office in such a manner that they should never be entrusted with public power again. It makes no sense for former officials, or ones who step down just in time, to escape justice.
