It will ultimately stand as a testament to his greatness, not as a black mark on his record.

It’s all good.

Short answer is no.

The procedure is set in the Constitution. The courts have no say in the matter

I don’t think so. It’s not a legal thing. It’s a political process.

There is no constitutional provision for it or against it. But I think that the SC is out of the picture due to the separation of powers.

And whether he is acquitted or not, or the Senate dismisses the charges, the impeachment remains.

I don’t think so. House has sole power to impeach. (Although that doesn’t interpret as Adam Schiff has sole power to impeach.

I think one of the best things that can happen might be a second impeachment, then a third. I know it’s arguable, but it certainly makes the house look like winy sore losers.

Probably, but why should he?

Wear it with pride!

That will piss off the leftards even more

Seriously, they impeached him, pretty much at this time forward President Trump can do what he wants, seriously, what can they do? Impeach him again? If so, big deal. They took the teeth out of impeachment and what it was suppose to mean.

I want this president to stay focus on his agenda and get things done, the wall, judges, lower taxes, rescinding regulations, foreign policy, health care, etc. All these great things, not focus on some black mark that nobody cares about.

I hate to say this but I think they will try to get a Milligan Trump will be the first President to get impeached twice. BTW doesn’t 1/3 of the House get voted on in Nov.

It’s a good sign when the best they are offering their base is asterisks!

Per Alan Dershowitz: Once acquitted he is no longer impeached. Nervous Nancy erroneous in that regard, “forever impeached”.

As a Grand Jury indicts, and acquittal is the outcome of the trial, the individual is no loner indicted.

Do remember reading AG comments during the past few days, from where they came, publisher-wise, I’ve no recollection. You might attempt to google it.

As BC is so proud of his impeachment, wearing it with no shame whatsoever, POTUS Trump should consider doing the same. IE- winning a trophy for his mantel.

The next Republican Congress can probably expunge the articles of impeachment.

Is there some way for the GOP or those who are not ‘never Trumpers’ to challenge, sue, or find some way to have Trump’s name publicly cleared as to having been falsly accused of wrongdoing by dark forces and impeached because of their scandalous accusations. That though the word ‘impeached’ would still appear on his record, it would be supplemented by the words ‘by a corrupt group of lawmakers’ and with ‘deep state participation’ and that for the record, right next to the word ‘impeached’ are placed the words ‘falsely accused’ ‘found not guilty’ ‘completely exonerated’ as having had been a target of a wide ranging group of conspirators who assassinated his character, a group of ‘desperate politicians and rogue government entities.

The best remedy is to retake the House then have the House vote to expunge the Impeachment. Then the little historical asterisk will show Trump as the only president who not only got reelected after an impeachment but the first one be UN-impeached as well.

My wife was wondering about President Trump suing everyone involved in impeachment for defamation of character. Seems like there is plenty of evidence to overwhelm the “public figure” catch.

Why would he want to? Someone once said you can tell you are over the target when you start taking flak. If it were me, I would consider making a golden “I” pin and searing it on my lapel as a sign that he brought the swamp out of the shadows and into clear view of all. There can be no more doubt about the corrupt perma-government and now that they are out in the open it’s time to undergo a swampectomy which we hope will start with Dunham but that isn’t assured but re-election would give POTUS a clear mandate to excise the swamp creatures.

Silly...
Read the Constitution and then come back and tell us what role the courts have in impeachment.

No. But, He will be the first president to ever had gone through impeachment and then acquitted in the senate to have been re-elected to the office BY A LANDSLIDE!

THAT, my friend will be the greatest testament to his presidency.

WE..WE..WE, have to make sure that happens.

As for those in the house? Make sure we get the house majority and then DEMAND those responsible get expelled.

And again, It is WE who have to make sure that happens.

No, I don’t think so.

The President should start DOJ/FBI investigations and counterintellignece investigations into those traitorous swampers who organized the coup.

President Trump should make the case that it was the House Democrats who devalued the meaning of impeachment, not him, by pursuing this partisan witch hunt.

He should then say that Adam Schiff is back in his office right now writing up a subpoena for John Bolton for their next impeachment.
