No, impeachment is for removal from office. If an ex-president is getting a pension or some other benefit through the government, that can be cut off through legislation, through law. Not through impeachment.
Impeachment is an indictment for removal from office and nothing more. It ensures that the people control their own government, that those elected or appointed can be removed from office should they cease to act in “good behaviour.”
Hey Admin would you mind fixing my headline? I made a typo.
Thank you!
How does that jive with what I just quoted from the Constitution?
A simple majority in Congress could pass a law taking away the pension, honorary title, and protection from Obama once he’s out of office?
Hey, folks, let’s make SURE we get conservatives in the majority of both houses of Congress!!!
“Impeachment is an indictment for removal from office and nothing more”
You are wrong. It also results in permanent disqualification from future service, which in this case is probably a wise precaution.
