But it's not the president on trial, so it's not covered by the constitution.
Then there should be NO Impeachment if he is not the current prez.
Isn't that a bad precedent? If we can't punish an outgoing president cause there's not enough time 2 weeks before the end of their term?
It must be or else how are they impeaching a president? If he's no longer President how can he be impeached? Whichever way you go they are in trouble
This is a point of constitutional debate.
Lefties will say that a pizza delivery guy should still be punished for eating the pizzas even if his contract is up right after they find out. Especially if that punishment means he can't get another pizza delivery job.
That's where I fall short. There are so many nuances in the Constitution that I'm really in the dark.
