Why bother to impeach Trump when he's leaving

[procon]

In just a few days?

Impeachment not just about removing him from office, but disqualifying him from ever running for office again. Got that?

The Constitution’s Article I, Section 3 provides for “disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States” as a penalty for an impeachable offense. And unlike and impeachment to remove Trump from office which requires a two-thirds vote, the Senate only requires a simple majority to permanently disqualify Trump from ever running for the presidency.

There is plenty of cause to charge him if the dems want to stay in power.

1. He is a grave danger to the US now. What damage will he do tomorrow?

He needs to go now.

[Ahpook]

5. Absolutely

25 that motherfucker right now. He ginned up those assholes and told them to do this at his speech today.

He has to go NOW!

[RockRaven]

2. It also forces all the Repukes in the House and Senate to go on the record...

Which is good too.

[Claustrum]

3. Don't we need 60 votes in senate to convict him?

I really don't see it happening. I hear a lot of BS excuses from republicans blaming "both sides" and none to Trump.

[gratuitous]

6. 67 votes needed to remove

I think the case can be made that Trump is sufficiently dangerous and irresponsible that leaving him in office for even two more weeks is too long.

[Claustrum]

9. You get no argument from me that Trump "should" be removed.

If it was up to me, he would be gone months, if not years ago. I just don't think we will get 50 votes to convict him from the spineless republican senators, let alone 67.

[gratuitous]

12. I'd like to hear the Republican case that Trump isn't dangerous and irresponsible

[Claustrum]

16. Um... from an ex-friend of mine.

Trump only told people to go to DC but he didn't tell them to storm in.

The people that stormed in are ANTIFA....


Totally not Trump's fault according to that person.


We will hear the same old same old "we don't know the heart of Trump" or that "Trump didn't mean any of this" BS.

[gratuitous]

17. Yeah, it's inarguable

That is, it's impossible to talk with someone that willfully deluded.

[Claustrum]

18. I haven't looked at that chatroom since 2016 but I was curious what these "Trump supporters" would

say today. Low and behold, that's the type of BS I saw. Needless to say, my decision to leave that group is the correct one and I don't miss any of them.

4. He must be removed from office in order to be charged

And arrested

[allnews]

7. He needs to go now!

Watching this today I see January 20 too far away. Too much damage could be done in that time. He wants to burn it all!

[Deuxcents]

8. He cannot leave with distinction

He needs all the shame our Constitution can give. He’s been impeached but not removed. He needs removed..no 2 weeks’ notice.

[Mrs. Overall]

10. So. That. He. Can. Never. Hold. Office. Again.

[scarletwoman]

14. Exactly.

[BlueNProud]

11. because he's not leaving and needs to be tasered and straitjacketed tonight

[LisaL]

13. We might not survive those days.

He is also refusing to leave.

[mercuryblues]

15. Do you want 2 more weeks

to allow this violence to ramp up? He needs to be neutered ASAP.
