If they convict him he would not longer have any funds for pension or the normal Presidential post office salaries and expenses.
It also prevents him from holding office.
He won’t be convicted.
The Constitution is silent as to a time limit for an impeachment. So, in theory, Jimmy Carter can be impeached tomorrow.
But why bother now that Trump is out of office? As others have noted, the Democrat goal is to bar Trump from running for federal office again.
It takes a simple majority vote in the House to impeach (already done in Trump’s case). Then it takes a 2/3 majority vote in the Senate to convict. If there is a conviction, the Senate votes again. By a simple majority vote the convicted person can be barred from holding federal office for life.
If that’s the case then it should be open season on Slick Willie and Barry Soetoro too.
Dems use terms as they want them defined,not as they are defined. They want impeachment to keep people, who would pose a threat to them, out of office.
They might as well impeach Caligula next—just to go officially on the record.
;-)
The goal is to make him ineligible to hold any public office again.
Only when the lying, murdering, traitorous Demonicrats are in charge instead of the Constitution, which ChiCom Xiden will be using as an adult diaper.
The gave no quarter for five years. I will give no quarter for ten. You called Trump a racist to get power. That level of venality will not be forgiven. The Republican Party fought Trump until they needed him. Worse than an adversary is a two-faced friend. They gave me McCain, Bush, Romney... They are dead to me. If Trump starts the Patriot Party I’m all in. The Republican Party without Trump is Romney, McCain, and Bush. I’m done.
“help me understand WTF is going on !”
Satan. Couldn’t stand that fact that America still exists.
Welcome to DEMLAND!
This is just Nasty Pelosi trying to punish Trump for getting in the way of the democratic platform and her way for the last 4 years. She figures she can inflict him with slander for the way he led the country. He led the country in a way that will be remembered fondly in the future, especially after Biden is done making a mess of things. Pelosi is just that, Nasty!
Where have you been? Since when has the law mattered to our lords in Washington DC.
I would look at 2 impeachments as a victory. He should display those like trophies. If they manage to convict him this time, the punishment may be not being allowed to run again. But if he wins the primary, what are they going to do? Decide to uphold the law this time?
I think we might just walk into the capitol and burn the damn place down. Again.
