House Majority Whip James Clyburn admitted Sunday that House Democrats may wait until Joe Biden’s first 100 days in office to send articles of impeachment for President Trump to the Senate.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said lawmakers are indeed moving forward with impeachment, referring to the President as an “imminent threat” to “our Democracy.”
The imminent part seems to be in question after Clyburn’s comments.

“It just so happens that if it didn’t go over there for 100 days, it could – let’s give President-elect Biden the 100 days he needs to get his agenda off and running, and maybe we’ll send the articles sometime after that,” he added.

Correspondent Leslie Stahl, during her interview with the House Speaker, makes note that Trump could leave the office and run again for President.
Pelosi replied that the idea of Trump running for president again is one of the motivations “that people have for advocating for impeachment” and conveyed that she’d prefer using the 25th Amendment “because it gets rid of him.”

No.
Get a job.
You are violating His rights by doing this
No, that is not the purpose.
The purpose is to defeat the movement that Trump emboldened where we put the needs of our nation first, protect our borders and support law & order.
That is what they are trying to destroy.
Well, thank you, Captain Obvious.
Wouldn't you, if you were them?
How many Senate Republicans would vote "guilty" if it meant Trump couldn't run in 2024? Especially if they are offered a deal?
Jimmy Clyyburn, Granny Winobox’s lawnjockey...
IMHO, that's patently unconstitutional.
I would also say if done against private citizen Trump, a bill of attainder.
But let's go there, Leftists.....
If and when he declassifies anything, they can say he’s just doing it to distract from impeachment.
Trump is done. He’s never running for President again. Whether or not they impeach him.
He’s already been impeached. Why would a second impeachment make a difference? What am I missing here?
Impeachment is a Badge of Honor, now.
You meant (I hope) "his rights", not "His rights".
And, no, the punishment of not holding office in the future is completely Constitutional, either by originalist or textualist criteria. No one has a "right" to hold an office of trust or profit under the united States, and the Senate has authority to prevent it.
I have a feeling with Biden, fairly soon, Trump is going to start looking pretty good.
This is what you get when you have idiots running the show. We may be the deplorables but they are the irredeemables.
But first they have to convict the person. And they can't convict someone who is not an officer of the United States Government. The Senate can't impeach your mailman, your barber, next door neighbor or any other random citizen. Once Trump leaves office, it become moot.
It’s mostly (99%) just about the puerile hatred, the same that was expressed in her tearing up the SOTU speech.
They think they’ll get a conviction from the Senate this time.
Agree. Any true Conservative is done, or someone like President Trump.
Not unless there is a true revival from top to bottom, the USA will disappear from the landscape.
Turtle already said the Senate WILL NOT go into regular session until 1 pm on Jan 20th. By then Trump will be a private citizen, not eligible for a Senate Impeachment trial.
