Hi, long time lurker here. I couldn't stop wondering about this question so I made an account. Should convicting after impeachment be unconstitutional? Not here, this is obviously a sham trial put on by the DS to punish patriots. I'm talking about if democracy was working as intended. What if (god hoping it wont) biden stays the whole term, and then embezzles a ton of money from the gov right before leaving office. It wouldn't be good precedent to say we wouldn't be able to hold trial for him. IDK, I'm torn. Definitely not supporting this embarrassment but I'm wondering if convicting someone after leaving office is actually unconstitutional
That is exactly what Obama did so there is precedent of that crime going unpunished.
That's a problem with a compromised DOJ.
it would go to a criminal conviction of a citizen not a president. Impeahcment just removes them from office and ensures they cant hold office again - but it doesnt punish them for a crime.
Half asian lawyer bill just explained that on Crowder's live stream and how silly this all is
Thank you! Ive been so confused recently lol. This is all so stupid- the fact that apparently "half" the country believes this is constitutional makes me wonder if these people can ever be woken up
And thank you for being a handshake account that isn't a shill
The constitution actually isn't clear on this issue. It's a unique situation with no precedent.
