“There is no double jeopardy. Someone could be Impeached and Tried for the same offense twice. It’s totally within the purview of the House and the Senate.”

I think you’re wrong, double jeopardy is prohibited by the Constitution and I don’t believe there is an exception for impeachment.🤨

Impeachment is a political act, and not civil or criminal.

Impeachment and Removal Trials are not considered legal precedent because the process has no actual rules regarding how to conduct the process. Every impeachment is preceded by the passage of rules for that particular case. Double Jeopardy does not attach as a result of an impeachment process.
