That’s a good example. I remember senators not supporting his second one because “Trump’s time was over”. So a president can do whatever they like in their last few weeks in office, and not face legal consequences for impeachable actions? So if Biden wants to have Trump shot, he should order the hit in January?
The impeachments were weak at best which is why it is not something that should have gotten him thrown out of office (or not allowed to run again). I personally dont think that its good that presidents get to do whatever they want to do, but killing an opponent doesnt fall under that. Instead they can just kill americans overseas and get away with it.
“If President Trump were still in office, I would have carefully considered whether the House managers proved their specific charge,” he said. “But in this case, that question is moot. Because former President Trump is constitutionally not eligible for conviction.”
That’s McConnell explaining that he didn’t vote for conviction, because Trump’s term was over at the time of the vote. Not because the case was “weak” – you can find video of McConnell speaking his agreement with the charge.
Impeachment is clearly impossible in this climate.
Order the military to assassinate his opponent.
They cant do that without going to prison… They have already killed american citizens around the world, this is nothing new.
According to whom? This was literally the example presented for this case and SCOTUS rules it was A-OK
Says the constitution and the three branches of government. And that was not what the SCOTUS said, that is the bulshit they are selling you.
How would they go to prison? The highest court in the country just said that they have immunity.
No they didnt… They would get impeached and then stand trial.
How’s that gone so far?
Are you referring to Trumps impeachments?
