The Constitution makes NO allowance for anyone other than the Chief Justice to preside over a presidential impeachment trial. No one. Not this necrotic motherfucker who's been warming his Senate seat for longer than I and probably the majority of people here have been alive, not anyone else.
But then the Constitution also makes no allowance for putting a private citizen on trial before the Senate to be convicted and removed from an office he does not hold.
Trump DOESN'T currently hold the office, right senators? RIGHT?
Sixth-gear, full-throttle banana republic stuff. Frightening.
