Impeachment works as intended. The arbitrary high bar in the Senate keeps frivolous impeachments from resulting in removal. I predict that the mid-terms will result in a 2-5 member House majority for the GOP. They will probably impeach Biden in the House, obv fail in the Senate, which will result in a landslide Kamala win in 2024 as well as a large House majority when we flip it back. Clinton was impeached after lying about a BJ. They lost more House seats that expected. Trump impeached and loses the election--in small part to a legitimate impeachment. Impeached a second time and loses historic numbers of support. Even that skank Haley as dropped him.
I predict that Kamala will never be President of the US. She will never even get to run against a Republican for that. She is already history. A done deal.
You are not even being pedantic or persnickety. You are just making a bullshit argument which made no sense. I did not say Trump was not impeached by the house. I asked about precedent for impeachment while not holding office. My implicit point being that if the punishment is removal... the process seems moot. I was not defining which part of the process mattered. Your proffer of Belknap was useful and it is why I asked the question.
It doesn't matter now. He was acquitted. No 2/3 majority. Not sure the markets will like that tomorrow night. Because now there will be uncertainty, once again.
Maybe he will be impeached again next month. You know, the dems argue that they can impeach a president anytime they want. Might even impeach Abraham Lincoln later this year. GIGGLE! Maybe the idiots can focus on distributing the Trump Vaccine now.
The vote is of TREMENDOUS value. 43 on the record allowing an insurrection to go unpunished. 57/43. Again, a solid bipartisan majority.
You mean you think they'll flip the House and/or Senate back to GOP in 2022? People have short-term memory. They won't remember this day in 20 months at the polls. Especially after Trump develops his own "Twitter-like" platform where he can spew his tripe all day long.
Is this a prediction you’ll be able to legally keep weapons paraphernalia under Democrats? How about other rights we take for granted such as being able to travel freely or communicate privately? Odds are, you will be an early goodbye if things get seriously heated in this country as many current and ex-law enforcement and military have similar capabilities except they don’t appreciate Democrat desecration of this country. You are on the wrong side, bro. The side that works seemingly tirelessly to control narratives, communications, and rights is the evil side.
