An impeached President can never run for federal office again. So it doesn’t matter if the trial occurs after he leaves office. They want to make sure he doesn’t run in 2024.

Let them do it. It’ll make Trump a martyr and clear the Republican primary for Don Jr. or Ivanka.

But he won’t be president.

You can’t impeach someone who does not hold the office.

“An impeached President can never run for federal office again.”

No, it doesn’t work that way. You cannot impeach a prior president.

umm..he already was impeached when he ran in 2020...impeachment is only for removal from office...but he’ll already be out of office...i think nancy ran her mouth before thinking this thru...

"An impeached President can never run for federal office again."

Uh, wasn't bill clinton impeached first and then won his re-election? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Wrong. Trump was already impeached in 2020 and he ran again for President.

Wrong. All the impeachment does is send it to the Senate for a trial, at which point they determine guilty or not. At that point, you're removed from office, but that's it. It takes additional effort to add extra punishments such as a ban from Federal office, and the Senate specifically has to want to also do that.
