TODAY, we are submitting our legal analysis directly to the U.S. Senate, detailing exactly how unconstitutional this trial is:
1 - The Chief Justice of the United States isn’t serving as the presiding officer – something the Constitution requires: “When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside.” (Art. I, Sec. 3)
2 - The Constitution provides for the impeachment of “The President,” not a former President. (Art. II, Sec. 4)
3 - You can’t impeach a private citizen – legally, that amounts to an unconstitutional bill of attainder. (Art. I, Sec. 9)
Reps. Swalwell (the subject of the FOIA lawsuit we just filed regarding his connection to a Chinese spy), Raskin, Lieu, and the other radical Left impeachment managers are attempting to pull political stunts.
