I am amazed by the number of people who think such a convention
could be controlled by Conservatives on Constitutional grounds.
We just had an attempt to impeach a private citizen by the Senate
of the United States. The Chief Justice did not preside over the
trial.
Now we think we can control a Constitutional Convention?
Wow folks, you’re treading in uncharted territory.
As for Soros rewriting our Constitution, well is there much
of anything more absurd?
Why would you expect the Chief Justice to preside over the impeachment trial of a private citizen? The CJ only presided over impeachment trials of Presidents. The presiding officer for any impeachment not involving a President would be the presiding officer of the Senate, namely the Vice President. The real question is where was Harris during this sham trial; it actually was her duty as president of the Senate to preside over that trial. The true reason for having the CJ preside at all is to avoid a conflict of interest that could deny an impeached POTUS a fair trial. Having the person who would replace the President if found guilty act as judge during the trial certainly presents an obvious conflict of interest, especially given that under the original system for Presidential elections, it would be very likely that the POTUS and VP would be rivals (originally the VP was whoever finished second in the EV count).
BTW, there is no language in the Constitution preventing impeachment of anyone. The sole power of impeachment is given by Article I to the House of Representatives. The House can determine who can be impeached and for what reasons. In fact the House did impeach the President- Trump still was President when he was impeached. The impeachment was ridiculous on its merits - there certainly was no incitement to insurrection, riot or anything else. It was, however constitutional.
