Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that it was constitutional to continue with the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump even after he has left the office of the presidency.
Anchor Dana Bash asked, “Many of your colleagues, I’m sure you’ve heard, argue that it’s not constitutional to convict a president who is no longer in office. Do you agree with that? ”
Romney said, “Well, I’ve read a number of law review articles, and I think if you put aside the partisan columns if you will written in various publications and look at those that are written by academics, you’ll find that the preponderance of the legal opinion is that an impeachment trial after someone has left office is constitutional. I believe that’s the case. I’ll, of course, hear what the lawyers have to say for each side, but I think it’s pretty clear that the effort is constitutional.”

Romney couldn’t hold a job cleaning up toilets at the bus station.
Time for a new party or a party like the Tea Party but support both republicans and democrats that support MAGA policies
“CNN loves me again. They really really love me!”
Uh no Mitt its not. The Congress has no authority to try a private citizen.
Clear to those of muddled brain.
Am I the only one that thinks Mitt Romney makes Barbara Boxer look Smart??
Still scrambling.
Does anyone hold this idiotic servants to their jobs?
I mean if i were to run around where I work screeching that I have to spend my time and my employers money chasing some stupid illegitimate legal case against a coworker- a supervisor now a former boss I’d get fired.
Anybody keeping track of Romney’s fund raising; amounts and sources?
who in mitt’s family is getting paid by the ccp?
Party switch in 3...2...1
Continuing to follow his path to becoming the biggest ass in the country. Hell he even beats the other one biden.
I think we can put Mittens down as a “Yea” vote.
what is the coincidence that RAT Romney’s own son
is involved in the Ukranian fraud with Biden??
what is the coincidence that RAT Romney BEGAN ObamaCARE?
the GOP is stupid, as is anyone in it beyond the
end of UNITED STATES, INC. that THEY bankrupted
as they raped and tortured Americans.
If I had a dollar for every time Mittens has said or done something to make me wish I could rescind my 2012 vote for him, it’d probably total up to enough to buy a new Macbook Pro.
Don’t feel bad FReepers. Remember, Romney lost to Ted Kennedy, John McCain, and Barack Obama. He’s a LOSER.
He’ll be lucky to get out of the primary here in Utah.
To Romney anything that is convenient is Constitutional.
Like his Mexican born father running for President.
I wasn’t aware that Romney was on the Supreme Court.
