Their has been a precedent where a secretary of war under Grant was impeached and tried after he resigned. He was found not guilty in the Senate. Someone posted this information and I will acknowledge them when I check my posts

True, but the reason for the resulting acquittal was because enough senators didn’t think they had jurisdiction. That can hardly serve as a precedent for moving forward in Trump’s case. If anything, it buttresses the point of how pointless this whole exercise is.

Pubbie informed me about Grant’s Secretary of War. It appears he was guilty and resigned but was found innocent. Life is strange.
