Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor
Instantiates Congress power to disqualify.
AMENDMENT XXVII Originally proposed Sept. 25, 1789. Ratified May 7, 1992. No law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and Representatives, shall take effect, until an election of representatives shall have intervened.
Not only did the President not have the power to change Congresses compensation (I.E like Obamacare waiver) it's also verifiably unconstitutional. So, birthers, drop the case that will *never* *ever* go anywhere other than the national enquirer and work on something that is plain as day.
The Iraqi forces are routing the invaders at Baghdad International Airport. They are killing their bodies and eating their flesh...
Keep talking Baghdad Bob. lol.
Congress can declare a President disqualified to hold any office of honor after they have convicted him in impeachment. That’s a power specifically given to them.
It has nothing to do with somebody failing to qualify for the Presidency in the first place, though, and just shows the difference between what Congress IS specifically allowed to do, versus what is never specifically assigned to them to do.
Again, for about the 20th time, show me where the Constitution gives similar specific authority for Congress to declare a President elect ineligible to be POTUS.
I’ve already shown you the statute that shows Congress does NOT have the authority to reject electoral votes simply because they think the person being voted for is ineligible. So the counting of the electoral votes, which is assigned to Congress in the Constitution, has NOTHING to do with them determining eligibility or giving any kind of approval for the President elect but only Congress acknowledging that the electoral votes were certified by the States.
