    No private citizens cannot be impeached.
    Correct. The flaw in in bob's logic is that Trump isn't a private citizen. He's a President who incited insurrection therefore he was impeached for a second time.

    I question whether he incited insurrection.

    The Constitution is rather particular that the Senate has sole power to try impeachments. The Supreme Court is extremely biased towards Republicans, but there is only so much they can do. They cannot blatantly violate the Constitution.

    Great minds have thought this one out, and realized that only the Senate gets a say.
    I think his point is that The Constitution is unclear on whether conviction by the Senate can take place after a President has left office. I believe that's correct, it is unclear.

    I'm good with it. Trump is a traitorous asshole but I doubt he'll be hung as a traitor as traitors deserve. I am satisfied that Congress and the US justice system will do what is best for all.

    They have impeached former Judges using the same law, so there is precedent.

    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.
    He has been impeached. He has not yet had a trial on the charges brought by the impeachment.

    Impeachment’s is synonymous with having been indicted. Trump has been impeached, much like a tax evader can be indicted.

    No, you cannot. But the brain dead dumbasses on the left, the Party of the Jackass and the PHONY media stupidly believe they can. They really are the most repugnant, worthless dumbasses on the panet.

    A meaningless waste of time intended for low IQ dumbasses like you who think it means anything. The Party of the Jackass have made impeachement and partisan joke now. Much like their platform is.

    Do you think the Senate can conduct a trial against a FORMER President? If you stupidly think that, what precedent?
