  18.  my steambt  I'm actually in agreement with the fact that you don't comprehend what you've read. Impeachment is designed to say not just “Get Out” but “Stay Out” to those who use the presidency to overturn elections so they can become tyrants. Trump’s lawyers say he’s already out, so we can chill. That’s just not responsive. The disgraced twice IMPEACHED Donald Trump was President of the United States at the time he was impeached by the House of Representatives. The impeachment was therefore unquestionably permissible (putting aside any disagreements over the nature of the charges). Article I, Section 3, Clause 6, states: "The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments." The key word is "all." This clause contains no reservation or limitation. It does not say "the Senate has power to try impeachments against sitting officers." Given that the impeachment of Trump was legitimate, the text makes clear that the Senate has power to try that impeachment. Period. Article II, Section 4, states: "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." This provision does appear applicable only to sitting officers. But it does not limit the power of the Senate to try, which comes from Article I, Section 3, Clause 6. It merely states that removal from office is mandatory upon conviction of any sitting officer. No lesser sanction will suffice. Maybe, you should read the Constitution or at least have someone read and explain it to you.

  34.  @brocksamson3282  I will say this you. I'm a VERY PISSED OFF Emergency Room Nurse Practitioner, ER-CNP. I am surrounded by death almost every day! When Trump was elected, I knew it would be bad. In my wildest nightmares, over a 170K+ us citizens dead!! I had no way to conceptualize just how BAD it would be a mere 4 years later. Trump knew we had ONLY a few cases and Trump refused to act and called Covid-19 "Democrat HOAX: For that, I blame him and his GOP ENABLERS. Tump he didn’t cause this decay alone, I also blame his braindead cult followers. I blame all because the helped elect a guy who PLAYED a tough guy on a reality TV show. A guy that had absolutely NO political experience whatsoever. Shameful! The other day, Trump LIED (like ALWAYS) about passing a bill for Vets that was passed back in 04' by PRESIDENT OBAMA. Trump says he's "pursuing" an executive order to require ALL health insurance companies to "cover all PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS for all customers." Trump says, "This has never been done before." Well, guess what? Pre-existing-condition protections CURRENTLY exist in OBAMACARE, A LAW ..When the Press called him out for LYING, this coward, you're "war time" so- called president ended his presser, and ran away like the COWARD he is. It was pathetic. Trump is the WEAKEST so-called politician EVER. Such A SAD, REPUGNANT and WASHED UP PHONY. Again I ask, why are Trump supporters UNABLE to recognize that he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, namely A MEGALOMANIAC, A LIAR, A GRIFTER, A COMPLETE FAILURE, devoid of LUCIDITY, UNINTELLIGIBLE, CORRUPT and totally uninterested in the well being of AMERICANS??? Hell, Trump's own staff is telling us that a second Trump term would be more dangerous than the first. These are rock-ribbed Republicans, folks. How many times do these people have to risk their careers by sounding the alarm for the country before Congressional Rs believe them?
