How the Impeachment Trial will undermine the Biden Presidency:
There is no provision in the US Constitution that provides for any person other than the Chief Justice of SCOTUS to oversee an impeachment trial of POTUS. It is explicit!
Any senator or congressman or congresswoman is disqualified from presiding over said "trial" of a citizen (other than the POTUS, here, Trump) as they are not impartial, (having been either for or against him in the first trial) which would be grossly improper.
The impeachment article reads that it concerns "Donald John Trump, President of the United States" which is now NOT TRUE. The article is invalid because Trump cannot both be POTUS and NOT-POTUS. If TRUMP is not POTUS then the impeachment article which references him as POTUS is invalid, expired, abrogated, annulled, moot,...whatever word you want to use. New articles of impeachment would need to be drawn up and voted on.
But, the US Constitution provides no provision or rule as to the impeachment trial of a private citizen. Therefore Congress has no such power as the US Constitution works on the basis that whatever power is not granted to the FED.GOV is reserved to the States, or to the People.
An explicit impeachment or law intended to prevent a private citizen from running for public office in the future constitutes a bill of attainder, which is obviously unconstitutional.
So if Trump is re-tried AS PRESIDENT and acquitted again (which he will be) he would therefore have been recognized as STILL PRESIDENT by both houses of Congress and should replace "Benedict Biden" in the White House THAT VERY DAY. Q.E.D.
mmm peach mints. Sweet. POTUS should come out with his own line of confectionaries
