Can you impeach a former president ?

[Iolo/Penderyn]

Can you impeach a former president ? Can a private citizen be impeached ?

If you insist on giving people who've been voted out a few extra months to cause trouble, it seems a bit naive to allow one of them to commit treason without penalty, doesn't it?

[Tinker]

OMG,,,,You have no comprehension of what "A revolution just took control of the nation" means....

You are correct, you folks make up so much shit it's impossible to keep up with it all.

No. Not constitutionally. Remember we are dealing with Democrats here. They have no clue what the constitution is.

Poopeye, the constitutional genius.

They can't just ignore it because Trump is allowed a defense so there are certain procedures which have to be followed like allowing unlimited witness to testify.

Actually, no they are not. trump's defense is only allowed the time that the Senate is willing to give them. That was made clear to Clinton. In general, the Senate is supposed to be fair, but there is absolutely no oversight of that. The Supreme Court has no right to review the Senate's decision.

The precedent on this is Nixon v US, which oddly has nothing to do with Richard Nixon. Judge Walter Nixon was impeached without testimony being heard in front of the entire Senate, and without being given much chance of a defense. He sued and was told that the Supreme Court had no say in the case whatsoever. There were no dissenting opinions. Not one judge found that he had a right.

If the democrats don't allow that and rush a vote there can't be a conviction due to them not allowing a fair trial.

It is a political process, not a legal process, and certainly not a criminal legal process. Think of it like a confirmation hearing, where Republicans have been known to refuse any statement by the appointee, and to unconstitutionally refuse even a vote. The problem Democrats have is there is no one to appeal the Senates acts in confirmation hearings, and there is no one to appeal in impeachment hearings either.

It will go down in history as two failed impeachments by the democrats which make them look like the fools they are.

If Schumer cannot get the votes to convict, he can always put off the vote for as long as it takes. That is not success, but it is not failure either.

Can you impeach a former president ? Can a private citizen be impeached ?

By Definition he has already been impeached for the second time, the Senate trial will not take place until after he is out but there is nothing preventing it.

There certainly is. It is called the Constitution. I am sure someone can hold a special needs class for you and other lefties on that document.

[katzgar]

I see we have another meat head , he has not gone before the senate now has he and can you impeach a private citizen .

Quote where the Constitution says any such thing. I have a copy of the Constitution hanging above my desk, so I doubt you will teach me anything on the document, but swing away if you feel lucky.

[Doc Dutch]

Trump has already been impeached.

Correct and now with a new record of being impeached TWICE! Trump wins again!

That record will probably stand for a long, long time. Maybe forever. When Trump dies and is buried in secret to avoid massive throngs of people throwing dogshit on his grave, his obit will read "....only President to be impeached twice."

[Doc Dutch]

NOT ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION ,BUT SINCE WHEN HAVE THE CHINACRATS FOLLOWED THAT?

THEY COMPLETELY IGNORED ARTICLE II TO FACILLITATE THEIR "MAIL IN" ELECTION THEFT, COURTESY OF RED CHINA.

Dude, Trump was impeached twice IAW the Constitution.

[Doc Dutch]

Trump has already been impeached.

you clearly don't know anything about impeachment or the constitution meat head . You really re stupid . Its a multi stage process and the senate has not become involved as of yet. By the time they do trump will not be in office meat head.

I will explain it do you can understand with your limited intelligence.

it kinda like the District Attorney( AKA the one sided house) bringing charges against you meat head but there is no arrest.

But nothing will happen until a judge and a jury actually try you .( AKA the senate) but now you have to deal with the fact Trump will no longer be President you meat head, as by the time this can happen he will be out of office you meat head .
Now go back to your finger paintings or playing in your own shit like a good little dummy.

Bob, now you're just making yourself look ignorant. Was Clinton impeached? Yes. Was Trump? Yes. Was Trump impeached twice? Yes.

Get a fucking grip on reality, bob, before reality grips you.
