I think the President’s team has very poorly communicated that House Managers are asking for TWO outcomes: (1) President Trump should be removed from office; AND (2) President Trump should never be allowed to hold public office again, meaning that he would NOT be eligible to run for President this year.
The President’s team hints at this when they talk about “removal from the ballot” and “interfering with the 2020 election.” But I have not yet heard them say, “They don’t just want to remove him from office; they want to prevent you from ever being able to vote for him again.”
I think if #1 makes people angry, #2 should enrage them, but most people just don’t know.
Why is no one talking about this???
“Why is no one talking about this???”
Because the Senate has not the power to remove anyone from the ballot for President, other than by convicting the person of at least one of the Articles Of Impeachment.
It’s all or nothing.
