That matters not.Uh, no it's not. The Constitution authorizes the senate to try "ALL" impeachments...Wut?? How was the Constitution violated?So now, according to the Right, holding someone accountable "backfires". Ok. And trump will be presenting no such evidence of election fraud.....none whatsoever
Violating the Constitution will backfire, for sure.
Having a trial for a Private Citizen is a violation, as well as having the trial presided by a political hack instead of the Chief Justice as prescribed by the Constitution.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.
Congress can't bar private citizens from running from office. Only a conviction in a court of law can do that.
Does not apply. They could have barred the last POTUS from running for office, not a "private citizen".
Absolutely applies. Impeachment is for removal of an elected representitive, not for barring a private citizen from running for office. The Constitution is very specific in regards to impeachment.
Sure is. So was the article of impeachment, which was generated on January 13. Guess who was in office then.
I gives you a hint.
It rhymes with "Dump".
The trial didn't start until after 20 January. Guess who was a private citizen after that date.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.
