Are you referring to double jeopardy? Because, I have been thinking about that in regards to Trump being removed for a crime for which he has not had a due process conviction, but since the impeachment efforts failed, doesn't that exonerate him from J6? He hasn't been tried in a court of law, but I would think the concept of double jeopardy would apply. What do you think about that?
Not double jeopardy specifically. I'm saying he can't be tried for actions while in office without first being impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate for those same actions.
This does two things, besides benefiting Trump. It establishes that former Presidents can't be tried politically by the next administration unless Congress agrees. It also establishes that Presidential immunity, while not absolute, is essentially subordinate only to Congress and not the succeeding President's administration.
I could see how there is no double jeopardy.
The impeachment process is a political process regarding the question of meeting the requirements of the office & trust. It would mean that there is a vetting process equal and surpassing the moral requirement for entering the continental US from abroad. (Ever seen the requirements for a visum?)
It may be that there are things in a file that needs the attention of the criminal courts as these answer a totally different question.
Disagree.
Yes, it’s a political (Constitutional) process, but based on high crimes and misdemeanors. (Key word being “crimes”).
