"The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors. The Constitution requires a two-thirds supermajority to convict a person being impeached."
So I just did the math and realized that the number of members of Congress who are respondents in the Brunson Case are: 291/435 for House which is 66.9% (more than two-thirds) and 94/100 for Senate which is 94% (again more than two-thirds) which is the minimum number required as per constitution for conviction after impeachment. Can it just be a coincidence or do these numbers mean something? Does it give extra power to SCOTUS to remove these members while ruling on the Brunson Case?
Just my opinion, and maybe I'm wrong, but I think it was stupid to name that many defendents. It will make it harder to get a judgment, if even one can prove they are innocent. Unless the SC can make judgement on one at a time individually, I don't see them winning.
The only thing is that they are being charged for the same cause of action. They all refused to carry out investigation and, in the process, violated their oath. I don't know how even one of them can prove that they are innocent while others are not. IMO, given the circumstances, it has to be either all of them are guilty or all of them are innocent!
