What does the US Constitution say about removing a president who is out of office?
And who presides over this farce? The Constitution says the Chief Justice will preside over a trial of the "president". BUT TRUMP is now a private citizen. Joe Biden is president.
Well we all know where that will take us.
I think they.we had better go back into history and see what happens when a country that is basically bankrupt, cant pay its bills, the government being totally corrupt, being manipulated by outside sources, etc, we had better do a comparison and see where it will end up.
Weimar Republic.
Took Hitler ten years to gain control.
A lot of folks in the Southern States would disagree with that statement. Secession is nowhere mentioned in the Constitution of the United States.
It says whatever the Supreme Court says it says.
On further reflection, I believe this conflict still exists and warrants the Chief Justice to preside.
The conflict is that the sitting Vice-President would likely be the candidate in 2024 running against the defendant in this impeachment trial. Harris would be in the position to preside over the barring of her most feared 2024 opponent.

Completely agree.
Trump should hire you as his legal representative. Seriously.
If Chief Roberts goes along with this he should face impeachment himself.
In effect, yes. LOL
Yep. Very true.
Interesting take.
Couldn’t agree with you more that their core motive is as you outlined. Fear. Of Trump’s return. Heck, the people miss him already. The buyers’ remorse will only deepen with time.
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.
My sentiments exactly.
I shudder to think.

Amazing. Here are FREEPERS discussing fine points of Law with respect to people who could not win following the law and so have dispensed with it.
The Demons will do as they please. The Law is their bitch and so are we.
Now let’s talk about something else.
It's illegal, but we know already that illegality is no impediment to the criminals in the Democratic Party.
An interesting argument for disqualification or perhaps (LOL) change of venue? Remand to the Florida state Senate? Remove to the College of Cardinals?
