There is no doubt that the Chief Justice presides over the impeachment of a SITTING President. What's open for debate is whether or not he's required to preside over the impeachment of a FORMER President. That's when I think it will be decided by the Supreme Court at some point in the future.
This is all just nonsense. The entire point of Impeachment is to remove from office. He no longer holds office.
Before or After Biden and Heels pack the court? ..... I mean ... ya know that if you ask the Democrats, they will ALL, in UNISON, like the BORG say ... "Why yes, it is most certainly appropriate to impeach a former president without the CJ" .... That's justice in today's United Socialists States.
When Trump is acquitted there will be no need to take it to the Supreme Court. Don't put it past the Dems to waste more time and money by doing it anyway
sigh.... nowhere in the constitution does it specify ‘sitting’ president..... again, all means all and that’s all all means..... a very slippery slope is the result of political expediency
no, but i can read and understand what i read... can you point to the section in the constitution where it specifies 'sitting' president and then point to the remedy specified other than removal from office?
How many times do I have to say that I THINK the way the Constitution reads is open for debate & ultimately will be decided by the Supreme Court.
