Trump explodes the whole silly discussion. The only thing worth actually talking about is the Witch Hunt.

...

Agreed. Trump is using the corrupt tactics of the opposition media for his own gain.

... and Congress has the absolute right to remove him from office, if they choose to do so....
***********
The right is not absolute because removal must be for the offenses specified in the Constitution. If Congress could remove merely for political disagreement or act on evidence that was cooked up, it would be nullifying the restrictions.

Now, Trump needs to talk about the people he will not pardon.

Fill in the blanks.

That is incorrect. A pardon does not prevent impeachment and removal from office by Congress or at the ballot (or term limit).

Why would President Trump have to be pardoned for ANYTHING? The question is purely rhetorical, with no basis in anything but fantasy.

Now, Robert Mueller may very well be looking for a pardon eight or ten years from now.

And who shall grant it to him?

So, a President can be impeached
Convicted,
and then tried with no pardoning power.

I think what that clause in Article II means is that if Congress were to impeach and convict a judge or a cabinet member or the vice-president then the President could not pardon that conviction and leave them in office.

The POTUS cannot pardon themselves. That would lead straight to a dictatorship, especially if the congress is loaded with leftist supporters.

Sorry but they can, what that would lead to is open for debate, but doesn't change the facts. Maybe you can point to the part of the Constitution that says he can't and I will apologize.
