And the Chief Justice doesn't preside when it's not the President.

What will Roberts' presence say about the constitutionality of it if he agrees to participate?

Trump was President when he was impeached. We are in uncharted territory because there is no precident for someone impeached while in office and then the trial was held while they were out of office.

It will be really hard for them to split the baby, claiming “in office” rules apply, and then also claiming “out of office” rules apply. Which is it?

It'll say we have non-political SCOTUS justices deciding that the Constitution has no standing!

Regardless...the only uncertainty here is whether the Dems can blackmail as many as 17 senators. Personally I think if they don't have the goods on 17 R senators, there is no Deep State, and it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime.

Roberts will not preside. According to Rand Paul.
