The Second Impeachment of Donald Trump (Update: House Officially Votes to Impeach)
- Thread starter Realyst
- Start date
Not yet. This is just voting to have a trial. That part would come after sentencing.
No. Senate has to convict with 2/3 of the vote and then another vote to bar from elections with a simple majority
No that is if the senate votes for this after conviction, if he is convicted which the Senate will not begin to see this until the 19th.
Not yet. That would happen if and when the senate convicts and then votes to bar him.
I think that the Senate has to convict & remove him in order for that to happen.
Maybe. It has to be discussed with the Parlementarian to see if it's within the rules.
It's actually the largest bipartisan impeachment of a president. Sad as that is.
He goes to trial (again), if convicted then he would be barred from running again to hold public office and he would lose all his presidential privileges.
Accuses him of breaking the law. Stain on his record.
Now goes to trial where he can be convicted (lol) or acquitted
Right. This is like formally charging him with a "crime." The Senate will then meet to see if he should be convicted. Takes a 2/3 vote or about 67 votes. If convicted, a lot of perks get stripped. He'd be thrown out of office (if he was still president at the time). And the Senate could then vote separately with a simple majority to ban him from ever holding a federal office again.
It potentially keeps him from ever running for office again if he's convicted and they (easily) vote to bar him. It also could remove the perks of being a past president since the Former Presidents Act doesn't apply to removed presidents.
And we REALLY would like to have him lose those privileges. No reason the tax payers should be paying him millions every year after the damage he caused.
Thanks for the info.
It is equally true and sad. Even if you add the 4 abstaining Republicans.
Yeah, this. I'm getting the impression that there's a lot of crazy stuff to be revealed as the legal wheels grind on, that will likely affect the vote. And not remotely in Trump's favor.
I'm just waiting for the "but" with the video he posted. 5 minutes long no way he held it 'together'
It took him a week to condemn them, no ones buying it Trump. You're too sloppy, more evidence will come out against you before the senate trial
Van Jones is going to start break down and start crying at all the Presidentialness.
Objectively, good speech *looks at watch* a week later, so kudos to whatever is left and was able to cobble that together to try to save their future career and Trump's empire.
Problem is, he's created an atmosphere where nobody cares. There's no air for a Trump apology tour, simply because of all the fires he lit and that media will find more interesting (and honestly, more important).
Good try tho, they can still get fucked.
He can't go back to Trump Tower. The only places left would be his club in New Jersey, his casino in Las Vegas, or his building in Moscow (if it finished completion).
He stresses the violence was wrong, none of his real followers would ever engage in it, and its hurting the MAGA movement.
In sort, Presidential only took 4 years, two impeachments, and a crumbling post prez outlook. But as everyone said, nobody will buy it and I doubt even Fox will give it much air since you've got the impeachment, "antifa"'s racewar, Presidential elect hate, the tyranny of big tech, etc on their plate.
SCOUTS has no role in impeachment. It's a function of the legislative branch and separating powers of the branches. The only thing is that the Chief Justice presides for presidential trials.
Okay I guess we're all done him he finally become presidential. Another 4 years delete the impeachment
Dude is in for a world of hurt, and that's before his hand in weakening security and being implicitly involved is confirmed
trying to take back everything he had said just a week ago...
only doing this so he can get support to not get convicted, lose all the benefits and allowing him to attempt a 2024 run again
