It's been reported in history that impeachment can happen when one leaves office. This is what someone has said. Now...I'm digging and I'm not sure if I can find it. Ive found someone actually arguing the opposite. Sauce: https://www.legislativeprocedure.com/blog/2021/1/8/latest-impeachment-effort-not-possible-under-rules "The Constitution defines who is subject to impeachment (Article II, section 4). It stipulates, "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." The Senate must vote separately to bar an impeached official from office. That vote, unlike the vote to convict, requires a simple majority. But that vote is not in order until after the Senate has voted to convict the official based on the articles of impeachment. The Senate cannot remove someone from office if they are not in that office. And absent a conviction vote, the Senate cannot bar someone from holding future office. The consequences of giving Congress this power would be to allow it to bar private citizens from holding office preemptively."
This leads me to believe that Congress is trying to panic vote Trump out of office before the 20th..HOWEVER. They won't get an impeachment hearing. It wouldnt be till the 20th before they can get their ducks in a row for impeachment. WHY is congress pushing for impeachment?
It is worth nothing that Pelosi attempted to force the 25th Amendment the day after the joint session before deciding to attempt a 2nd impeachment. This to me proves that it is not about humiliating Trump or preventing him from running again. It is because they need him out of office, not in 10 days, but NOW.
I can't for the life of me figure out why though. The Capitol intrusion was a staged psyop to give cover to censor Trump, but why are they exaggerating like they are actually spooked? Weird.
Getting him out NOW would eliminate Declass
But they have simply refused his declass orders already.
One more opportunity to do the right thing.
POTUS has run them out of all legal options and avenues. Nothing can stop what is coming.
The Biden inauguration you mean? Realistically speaking. Trump has never done an aggressive thing as 4 years of president why would he invoke the insurrection act now? It doesn't fit.
I haven't seen any shred of proof the military is doing anything. It looks more like they are waiting for the Biden presidency to be allowed to wage some wars again.
That's right. They tried the 25th Amendment, but Pence must have made it very clear that wasn't going to happen. They tried to cut off Trump from the military but we already that wasn't going to happen either. So impeachment is the only thing they have left even though they have no time to do it.
They’re grasping at straws because they know what’s coming. Pelosi and her ilk are not thinking straight and they’re panicking!
Panic and fear, its headless chicken time.
It's just circus. Liberal pettiness. They WANT his presidency to end on such a note. Destroy the legacy as soon as possible.
If i were them, Id be leaving D.C right now to go find a bunker.
Who’s to say they didn’t try?
This has nothing to do with 2024. They know they lost this time. They want to stop him for THIS election. They know what is dropping
JMO, it’s purely a slander, defamation, and attack on Trump, his legacy, and most of all us - his supporters.
They are trying anything and everything they can to defame, destroy, discredit and attack Trump, and then they could crow about how they “impeached drumpf TWICE!”
Our enemy are not human; we are up against satanic, communist, pedophile demons from hell.
They have no morals. No boundaries. No scruples. Nothing - especially not some stupid rules - will prevent them from taking any and every action(s) possible to defame, slander, attack and destroy President Trump, his legacy and his supporters.
I pray with every single fiber of my being that Trump does what I believe he has been planning, which is to hit back 10 times harder; to round up and arrest and execute these satanic traitors.
I hope he does DECLAS every single rotten, evil thing they’ve ever done so that WE can DESTROY THEM
This is fucking all out, biblical WAR between good and evil.
The only logical thing I can think of is exactly that, should the impeachment go through it would prevent him from holding public office again...
But if we really are completely dissolving the old government as we know it and starting new then the impeachment won't mean dick.
Personally I think it's the death throws of their panic stricken rage. They are doing anything and everything they can to make him look bad in the public eye.
They're creating the narrative that Trump has gone made and they need to protect the country by taking the nukes away and impeaching/removing him asap. When things start happening, arrests/indictments are announced, etc, they can say 'see, we told you he's mad!' It's just propaganda from those in a death spiral at this point.
They're saying to prevent DJT being able to run in 2024
Humiliation. De-legitimization.
He doesn't get to be a member of "the club" anymore. No pressure to invite him to the official events. No more SS protection. No presidential library. His legacy painted over.
It's petty. Like it always is with cheaters and bad losers.
Because if Trump never concedes by the 20th it becomes a crisis.
