That logic is flawed.As I said before, the "prevent Trump from running again" rationale is a tell that the election was rigged. If you have an honest election and your guy got beat, why not let him run again? Because your concerned you can't steal it again.
The Senate makes its' own rules - as pointed out above - and must accept the Articles of Impeachment.
What type of 'Trial' is up to the Senate.
in the case of an out of office POTUS - they could decide to have a brief Hearing - and let it go.
however- the Senate may bar , if it chooses, a person from again holding federal office - a reason for a trial.
IMHO - the reason the DPST/CCP party is putting on this charade of governance - may be to prevent Trump from Running again . They are terrified of Trump - and how teh nation ran so well before Xi loosed his Wuhan virus on us - and was that done in conjunction with the DPST/CCP leadership?
biden, Swalwell and Feinstein certainly have close ties to the Chinese dictatorship - who else does???
as i pointed out - Trump will be older, and likely sick of the insane and incessant hating attacks by the DPSY/CCP party. Cannot blame Trump for that. he will not run again.
Pelosi , et al , and Schumer, etal, are making a laughingstock of our system of governance to the world - their hatred and need for Revenge is palpable and is teh motivation behind this DPST/CCP charade of impeachment/trial.
It is a Shame the Republican leadership does not stand up to them and tell them -' This is ridiculous' - and it is ridiculous on their part.
Just as nazi pelosi and her little impeachment march to the Senate - her signing ceremony with 'Pelosi pens' - followed by her gaggle of schiff/nadler/ and other lying luminaries of teh DPST/CCP party.
Quite a pathetic little spectacle she made - Hope she does it again - it is a good Laugh! Originally Posted by oeb11

But I agree that Trump won't run in 2024 for many reasons.
