hello, im watching the impeachment trial for the past 4days and i have a question on my mind on these kind of proceedings. Since im not from US, im not very familiar with legal proceedings in US so if there are GA users that are (perhaps someone who is studying law or even a lawyer) is there any kind of appeal possible for DJT team like appeal to supreme court or something like that if DJT was convicted and impeached? Would the case by over?
Edit: Thanks for all the answers made some things clear to me, going to research this a bit more.Very interesting stuff.
According to the US Constitution the Supreme Court Chief Justice is supposed to oversee the Senate trial but Chief Justice Roberts refused. So that's just one more Constitutional strike against this whole charade. The first being a president can only be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanor, the second being he has to be the sitting President, which presumably Donald Trump isn't, he's simply a citizen. The only consequences of impeachment is the removal of a sitting president from office. Hope that helps.
