What happens next if the Senate acquits Trump?

This analysis was excerpted from the January 27 edition of CNN's Meanwhile in America, the daily email about US politics for global readers. Sign up here to receive it every weekday morning.Trump vindicatedDespite having been impeached, the President will use his acquittal as a victory to supercharge supporters and boost his reelection race. To voters who see him as an outsider hero, he will have trounced the establishment forces that tried to topple him.

A Constitution changedTrump's defense could set a precedent that abuse of power isn't enough to impeach a president, without an actual crime. And the Oval Office will emerge more powerful because his acquittal will enshrine the principle that a commander-in-chief can simply refuse Congress's demands for evidence, drastically weakening lawmakers' checks and balances role.

StCollinson Article forgets another remedy. A second and if needed, a third impeachment. There is nothing stopping the House from making trump a one-of-a-kind. In a bad way.

StCollinson The House didn't even charge him with a crime 😂😂😂

StCollinson The facts of this case lie with the presidents side the HEARSAY and ASSUMPTIONS lie on the dems side! The only cult here are the radical left and their minions!😝😝😝

StCollinson I thought news was supposed to be unbiased? Silly me

StCollinson Here’s what will happen next? Trump landslide🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

StCollinson Are Democrats cursed?

StCollinson If Trump is losing to every Dems candidate he polls against, then how can he have a hold on grassroots conservative voters to the point that SenateGOP Congressional members are afraid to convict him? You logic is lacking. Please explain. AliVelshi Can MSNBC make more sense?

StCollinson Had the democrats actually did their job in the House...instead of just rushing to get a political payday, they wouldnt be in this position. Trump wins, they lose. Why? Trumps fight is for America people. And Dems fight is for ANYTHING anti Trump.

StCollinson Those assholes need to polish up their resume and vote to convict. Country before self!!!

StCollinson Than they should commit suicide

StCollinson FAKENEWSCNN

StCollinson Or, he is innocent.

StCollinson There is another view that says that an acquittal could cost the GOP the Senate, because of the number of people who hold the Constitution to a higher level the Senators do.

StCollinson Subtext is how awful a group “grassroots Conservatives” are, given the evidence of the trial

StCollinson Regardless of public and political opinion. Everyone knows this entire impeachment was for show and a huge waste of taxpayer dollars.

StCollinson We celebrate...

BELOVED CHILDREN OF THE LIGHT BLESSED , DREAMER OF DREAMS , AWAKEN THE ETERNAL MOMENT , BIRTHS ITS FUTURE

StCollinson Republicans weren't going to convict him anyways, seeing how he hasn't committed a crime. Just hear say b.s.

StCollinson We are WAY past the point of hearing clear-cut evidence of the wrongdoing now. We have entered a completely new zone where facts dont matter, morals dont matter, self-awareness doesnt matter, intelligence doesnt matter, conscience doesnt matter, its a CULT

StCollinson You mean it's 'We the people' who have the power? God bless President Trump
