Biden or Trump

[sinkov]

"noun: impeachment; plural noun: impeachments.

1.(especially in the US) a charge of misconduct made against the holder of a public office."

This is the bit that intrigues me, not whether he's guilty as charged or not, but is the impeachment valid. I don't know what the US Constitution says, but the definition above says only the holder of a public office can be impeached. If that is the case, then when Biden takes over as President surely the Donald becomes unimpeachable ?

Pot calling kettle... ?

Behave Norder, stop trying to spoil their fun. I know the hypocrisy is stunning, but they've waited four years for this, let them be, you naughty old spoilsport you.

yeah...your doubtless right sinkov....anyway, i've read their nasty script, and a tedious yawn it is...deary.

He's already been impeached Mon Ami - yesterday.

It's the date of the trial that hasn't happened yet.

By the time of the trial, he will no longer be the holder of a public office, so unimpeachable surely ?

[1959_60]

No, impeachment is equivalent to "charged" (or so I believe).

So he has been impeached (charged) but it hasn't gone to trial in the Senate yet.

Yes, the trial will happen after he has left office.

impeachement or not Trump will survive this, he's too canny and too rich. he's got away with far worse.

I have no doubt he will be impeached, it's a slam dunk.

Once you have been impeached it becomes impossible to seek to become President again.

That's what this is really all about.

"The final part of Section 3 of Article 1 : ‘Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to Removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of Honor, Trust or Profit under the United States."

Yes, it's clear from the above that he can be disqualified from running for President again, I just find it odd that they're using a process that's designed specifically to remove a sitting President, against a man who won't be President when the process takes place. This peculiarity won't stop them though, the Donald has driven them to such a state of derangement, that if he popped his clogs tonight they'd still go ahead, they'd just prop his corpse up in the Senate and carry on ranting at him, alive or dead, they're not that bothered.

Some image is that to put in my head before I hit the kip sinkov.

Trump's corpse propped up in the Senate while the Dirty Democrats carried on ranting at him, fake tan making him look still alive.

Seems the Donald has been impeached on charges of 'inciting an insurrection'. Could anyone tell me precisely what he said that could be framed as 'inciting an insurrection' ?
