You can not impeach someone who is not holding office. That is like saying you are going to kill someone who is dead. There is no logic in the statement.

So WHEN IF AT ALL, will the charges come forward and the action to jail her, plus many more including odumbo, start? I have been waiting and hope, before my time on earth expires, that we will see justice done. People such as they are a cancer on this nation and need removal.

“You can not impeach someone who is not holding office.”

It’s been done before.

General William Belknap was impeached (unanimously by the House) for bribery in 1876, AFTER he resigned. He was later acquitted by the Senate, where some members felt his resignation prevented them from having jurisdiction. But the point is open to debate.

Impeachment is typically used to remove someone from office, but it can also be used to cancel pensions, prevent future office holding, and suspend licenses like in Bill Clinton’s case. (He was fined and had his license to practice law in Arkansas suspended for 5 years, for perjury.)
