So Kim Climent’s Prophecy is still valid then... Interesting.
um even bloomberg news is admitting that Trump is NOT impeached yet:
[[Trump Isn’t Impeached Until the House Tells the Senate
According to the Constitution, impeachment is a process, not a vote.]]
Noah Feldman, a harvard law proff says the same thing
“If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say that he wasn’t truly impeached at all,“ @NoahRFeldman writes. https://t.co/urzhneXlo8
Excellent article from Mr. McCarthy. He is clear about the law. Just one problem. The “polls are edging in Trump’s favor.” Rather, the polls are avalanching in Trump’s favor. Pelosi is a joke. The Democrats are dead. And the Americans are enjoying the land of plenty from the Creator.
No
For all those, including Democrat members of Congress that do not know the United States Constitution:
Article 1. Section 2:
The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
(this dose not describe what elected officials by title)
Article 1. Section 3:
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
There is no discussion or allowance for members of congress to be present or have managers present to present the case. It is not spelled out. That is just how the first impeachments were conducted by the rules of the bodies of the Congress and Senate. Each body sets up their own rules, but those rules are subservient to the rule of law in the constitution. Thus the Senate can conduct the trial when ever they want and without members of congress even present. The vote by congress to impeach has been completed and must now be acted on.
PERIOD end of civics lesson!
A case of Schrodinger’s Impeachment?
Very clear, thank you.
Senate of the United States... the ball is in your court. Please proceed.
the lesson leaves out both chambers ability to enact regulations
No. Until Articles of Impeachment are officially transferred (delivered and accepted) by the House to the Senate, impeachment has not occurred...only posturing!
This is supremely important. It is either done properly & officially, or it never happened.
Well lookee here. Even Andy McCarthy agrees that under the current situation, Trump has NOT been impeached.
Impeachment requires more than just a vote. It has to be presented to the Senate. As long as Nazi Pelosi holds up the delivery, no one can claim that Trump is the third president to be impeached.
This libtard will be disappointed:
yes voted and recorded, even televised. Trump and his advisors say he is impeached. hundreds of sources reported today he is the third impeached president, including Breitbart, Washington Times, OAN and other conservative sites. Limbaugh, hannity, Elder, prager. look it up and get thousands of sources all saying impeached. One guy from Harvard comes out of the woodwork and those here who should know better after the 3 expert professors nadler had on the witness list. But heyl, whatever Harvard says. Enjoy your delusion.
Welcome to FreeRepublic. :)
This makes at least three threads on this issue that I am aware of. McCarthy lays it out well. If they cannot present their case, there cannot be a trial—simple logic. We shall see who has the upper hand. As for now, this retromingent, demented, and senile evil bitch is playing games with the constitution and America. She needs a punch to that stretched face and her head. She is one pure worthless human who only cares about power, nothing else.
thanx just back Started as biggish 8-8-98
PRICELESS! I’ve forwarded this on to all my family!
Correct. As far as I know.
The Senate must be informed by a “Letter of Transmittal”.
Here is the Letter of Transmittal for the Constitution.
In Convention Monday September 17th 1787.
Present
The States of
New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Mr. Hamilton from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.
Resolved, That the proceeding Constitution be laid before the United States in Congress assembled, and that it is the Opinion of this Convention, that it should afterwards be submitted to a Convention of Delegates, chosen in each State by the People thereof, under the Recommendation of its Legislature, for their Assent and Ratification; and that each Convention assenting to, and ratifying the Same, should give Notice thereof to the United States in Congress assembled.
Resolved, That it is the Opinion of this Convention, that as soon as the Conventions of nine States shall have ratified this Constitution, the United States in Congress assembled should fix a Day on which Electors should be appointed by the States which shall have ratified the same, and a Day on which the Electors should assemble to vote for the President, and the Time and Place for commencing Proceedings under this Constitution. That after such Publication the Electors should be appointed, and the Senators and Representatives elected: That the Electors should meet on the Day fixed for the Election of the President, and should transmit their Votes certified, signed, sealed and directed, as the Constitution requires, to the Secretary of the United States in Congress assembled, that the Senators and Representatives should convene at the Time and Place assigned; that the Senators should appoint a President of the Senate, for the sole Purpose of receiving, opening and counting the Votes for President; and, that after he shall be chosen, the Congress, together with the President, should, without Delay, proceed to execute this Constitution.
