Doesn't speak about Trump at all. If the purpose of a conviction trial on a POTUS is to remove them from office, then if a trial is in regards of a non-sitting President, then a "Not Guilty" verdict seems clear. You cannot remove a non-sitting President from office.
I don't give two shits what you think about Trump. Hate him? Great! Love him? Fine! I don't fucking care. Legally, the purpose of the impeachment TRIAL is to remove a sitting President from office. He wasn't a sitting President. Done.
This is false. He was impeached. Literally, the articles of impeachment were delivered and accepted while he was in office. He was impeached. Stop spreading bullshit. You don't know what you are talking about.
First, the whole mitch video is talking about about trump
check it out again
Second, impeachment isnt just about removal from office. There is also an
Ineligibility Clause which bars any person from holding any future office in the United States. This was the whole point of this impeachment.
barring trump from holding future office
all i was saying is that if a person in such a high power fucks up so bad, to the point that they get impeached, mitch mcconell set the precedent that as long as that person has resigned or their term has ended, that they should just get let off the hook.
Screw it, let them serve in office again, even if they have comitted high crimes and misdemeanors...
And lastly, yes the house impeached trump, but Mitch refused to bring the articles to the senate floor
until trump left office.
you clearly dont know the facts and are the one spreading bullshit
