Outgoing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Friday circulated to colleagues a memo outlining the procedure for holding another trial for President Trump if the House impeaches him for a second time in just over a year.
The document, which was first reported by The Washington Post, lays out how the Senate would proceed if the House approves articles of impeachment and transmits them to the upper chamber before or by Jan. 19, when senators are scheduled to resume regular business after the January recess.

He’s a private citizen when he leaves office. Where does the Constitution say a private citizen can be impeached? This doesn’t make sense.
Can you be a bit more specific. Your link was worthless for those of us who have other things to do.
He was convicted and removed from office. The Senate OPTED not to include the additional punishment of disqualifying him from serving in public office again.
Who told you that America is owned by the Congress or by any politicians or media moguls?
Good grief. Get out of your cups and man up.
The GOP has already committed suicide once. If they go along with this, they’ll be permanently burying themselves.
McConnell is just covering his donkey, knowing that this impeachment crap is grandstanding...and is intended to focus attention on House Rat speechifying as to Trump’s “false accusations” of election fraud. The Rats will do any thing to take attention away from and distract any attempt to reveal their treachery.
I will vote for DeSantis in 2022 (God willing) because I like living free. All else...I’m out.
Yes you can impeach an ex-President to remove his eligibility to run for office again. It’s an extraordinary waste of public funds and legislative time, but you can do it.
[I’m not sure we are - or will continue to be - the ‘same coalition’.]
Yep, me too! As of yesterday, after being a life long registered Republican, I reregistered as unaffiliated/independent.
Gina Haspel put the fear in cocaine Mitch. He’s gone to the darkside on roller skates. What an evil littleman he is!
>>> I guess he’s ready to end his political career
that happened some time ago.
Can they afford to lose that many soldiers to the “Partisans”? It would certainly put the fear of God into their armed forces for any future invasion.
However, there is some precedent for the idea. In the 1870s, Ulysses S. Grant’s Secretary of War, William Belknap, was impeached on charges of corruption and bribery. He resigned his cabinet post before the House could actually vote to impeach him, but the House went ahead and impeached him anyway. There was a lengthy debate in the Senate over whether it had the power to put Belknap on trial for the charges brought by the House, since Belknap had resigned. In the end the trial went forward, but Belknap fell short of the 2/3 majority needed for conviction even though the evidence of his corruption was clear; most of the Senators who voted against conviction did so because they believed the Senate lacked jurisdiction to try him now that he was out of office. But the fact that he was impeached and put on trial after resigning nevertheless could serve as a precedent for doing so to someone else again in the future.
Your post makes no sense to me.
It seems to me that 75 million people can certainly do something more or less together.
Otherwise, why would the rats be trying to squelch us all?
THEY are the ones who are running scared.
This is warning from GAB.
They’re trying to crush ALL “alt media” so that the State Media reigns supreme.
The scamdemic muzzles were not enough.
They want to muzzle your speech, as well.
We may as well be Norks, now.
Exactly.
TRAITOR!!!!
