Sure, Impeach Trump 10,000 Times By Charles Taylor
Time is running out to impeach the pathetic Trump, but don’t worry, the Demon-crats will press on even after the presidency ends. This is like digging up a corpse and killing it all over again.
“Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said that a post-presidential impeachment wouldn’t work and goes against the Constitution, after House Democrats voted to impeach the president last week.
“It will be unconstitutional, but that probably won’t bother the senators,” Dershowitz told Fox News on Sunday. “The Constitution is very clear. The subject, the object, the purpose of impeachment is to remove a sitting president. And there are two precedents. One is very obvious. When President Nixon resigned in anticipation of being impeached and removed, there was no effort to impeach him after he left office.” Former President Richard Nixon opted to resign instead of facing the possibility of a Senate trial in the early 1970s.
“It was clear that the Senate had lost jurisdiction at that point,” he said of the Nixon impeachment. “The proponents cite another precedent. In 1876, there was a failed effort, a failed effort to remove the secretary of war. In an initial vote, the Senate voted close, in a close vote, that they did have jurisdiction to try somebody who had resigned.”
House Democrats and 10 Republicans impeached Trump for a second time, making Trump the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice. No president has ever been convicted in the Senate.
Last week’s impeachment was based on a speech that Trump gave to supporters as a small group breached the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, forcing lawmakers to flee to secure areas. Several people died at the protest, according to law enforcement officials, while more than 100 rioters involved in the breach have since been arrested.
“There is no jurisdiction. You cannot put citizen Trump on trial. If you could do that, it would be a bill of attainder, number one, putting somebody on trial who was not a sitting president,” Dershowitz said, adding that the “implications would be horrendous.”
The new rulers are not going to worry about the constitution or the rule of law; it is just their rule and they will do what they want. Look, given the absolutely stunning electoral fraud, anything is possible. Demons from Hell rule the earth, not lizard people.
