Oh so judiciary has no role in clearly laid out powers of the constitution? Gee that’s novel.
He’s nuts to even suggest it
“judiciary has no role in clearly laid out powers of the constitution? Gee that’s novel.”
Well, it may be novel, but it’s absolutely true.
Impeachment is a plenary power of the House. Trial of impeachment’s is a plenary power of the Senate. In the case of presidential impeachments, the Presiding Officer is the Chief Justice of the United States.
Other than the power of presiding over a Senate trial of the President, the judiciary has zero to do with impeachments.
