I thought a FORMER President couldn't be impeached...

The Constitution only allows impeachment of a sitting President. While former Presidents are still referred to, after their time in office, as President, that is simply a formality.
This impeachment contains a provision that Trump can never run for office again, which is also illegal.
Ask yourselves what is Congress so afraid of that they are still going to further violate the Constitution to go after a FORMER President?
I kept my headline short, but is the trial legal at this point?
I don't believe so, but I am not an attorney. Maybe an Anon with better knowledge of Constitutional Law can answer this clearer.
all optics. An attempt to tag line all during a declared national emergency where any resolution under congress cant be passed and is in full authority of FEMA.
He's already been impeached (formally accused, charged) while he was in office. The Senate holds the trial. Impeachment is like you (President) getting a speeding ticket from the police (Congress) and then go before the judge (Senate) to fight it.
It's an illegitimate congress, Trump already said it means nothing. I don't remember his exact quote but he said it wasn't any problem for him
There are a lot of stories this is relevant to, but the 14h Amendment section 3 states,
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
Most of the rats in the District of Criminals are guilty under this Amendment, and therefore are not constitutionally able to vote on anything. Just as they spit in our faces over Obama not being natural-born, which also apples to Xiden's whore, everything they do to try to cover this coup just digs their graves deeper. 100 million pissed-off, well-armed Patriots are not going quietly into the night. We WILL be satisfied, justice WILL be done, and the guilty WILL suffer for their crimes, regardless of how it is meted out.
