The Republican Party has given a free pass to future Presidents for anything they might do in the closing days of their term of office. A former President incited an insurrection against our government during the closing days of his term of office. It doesn't get worse than that.
The Republican Party acquitted the former President!
Some are wondering why impeach a former President? What is the point?
There is the disgrace of being the only President in American history to be convicted in an impeachment trial. It is a legacy said President will take to his grave.
With a resolution that can be passed by a simple majority in the Senate, said President is barred forever running for office again. In this case, Trump's dream of running for President in 2024 goes away.
There are probably an assortment of other ramifications of being impeached. We just don't know what they are. We've never had an impeached President. Trump would have been the first.
Impeached or not, a President who led an insurrection attempt against his own government most likely would be tried in federal court for sedition. There is every likelihood that is in Trump's future.
Damn, talk about revisionist history. A not guilty verdict, is NOT A CONVICTION. Stupid little commie.
