“Parsing the constitution will not resolve the outcome...”

---

I realize that. Does the phrase “...shall not be infringed” ring a bell? But we do have to start somewhere. After noon on January 20, President Trump will no longer be the President nor any civil officer of the government. If they hurry, they may pass the Articles while he is still President. But they won’t have time for a trial in the Senate.

On the other hand, do they really think this will help their cause with the former “deplorable” and now “domestic terrorists/insurrectionists”?

Great example. And to the point that a person not currently an officer cannot be impeached, becuase that's not what the constitution says, all they need to do is say "the constitution does not forbid it," and then they do it. There is no recourse if they are wrong. IOW, they cannot be wrong, no matter what. They can do whatever they want in this regard. The constitution literally has no force agains the government.
