He couldn’t just leave quietly, could he? Photo: Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images Amid calls for President Donald Trump’s resignation or removal via the 25th Amendment for his role in the Capitol riot, Democrats are moving ahead with their plan to impeach him for a second time. There probably isn’t enough time for the Senate to remove Trump from office before Joe Biden is inaugurated on January 20, but he could face a Senate trial after his term ends, and be barred from holding office again .
Wednesday, January 13: Impeachment by the House The plan is for an impeachment vote by the full House on Wednesday, January 13. Tuesday, January 19: Transmittal of Article of Impeachment to the Senate Normally, the process of transmitting articles of impeachment from the House to the Senate is reasonably simple, though it does require appointment by the Speaker of impeachment “managers” who will present the case for impeachment in the Senate before and during the subsequent impeachment trial. You can assume Pelosi will have already lined up managers by the time the House votes.
Another timing factor affecting the date of transmittal is the Democratic takeover of the Senate, which will occur once Georgia’s January 5 runoff election is finally certified, sending Democrats Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to Washington and allowing new Vice-President Kamala Harris to break a tie and let her party organize the chamber.
Waste of time & money!!!
Impeach this bird from the tree and impeach his nest too. 🤣
Are there odds on whether or not he will do one last golf trip before the 20th?
