Starting at noon tomorrow, each side will have up to 16 hours to make their case to the 100 senators who will decide whether to convict Trump on the charge of inciting the deadly Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
The 56-44 vote came after House impeachment managers and Trump's defense team spent four hours making arguments on whether a president can be subject to a Senate trial after leaving office. "We see no need to make any further argument that this body has the power to convict and to disqualify President Trump for his breathtaking constitutional crime of inciting a violent insurrection against our government," Raskin said.
"In this unprecedented snap impeachment process, the House of Representatives denied every attribute of fundamental constitutional due process that Americans have correctly come to believe is what makes this country so great," Schoen said. "How and why did that happen? It is a function of the insatiable lust for impeachment in the House for the last four years."
Castor, a former district attorney in Pennsylvania, took the chamber floor to argue that the impeachment trial is unconstitutional because Trump is no longer president.
What is the point of all this
Congratulation Mr. McDee! History about after war years is clean in the all Web.
The impeachment trial is constitutional. We are dealing with 'point in time' - insurrection & impeachment occurred while 45 was president & even though he left office there is no statute of limitation on the crime. The constitution empowers only the Senate to convict.
If senate gets to vote on the constitutionality of there own actions, guess how often they will determine they are within the constitution? If only there was a separate branch for that very purpose.
That's one way to view the meaning of the vote I suppose.
good
How is it constitutional when it says a member of office? Not a former member.
WE HAVE A SERIOUS TRAITOR PROBLEM IN AMERICE WE MUST RISE UP AND DESTROY THESE DEMOCRATS
