Tom Cotton: Senate 'Lacks Constitutional Authority' For Pelosi's Sham Impeachment
https://trendingpolitics.com/tom-co...onal-authority-for-pelosi-s-sham-impeachment/
The House has passed an article of impeachment against the president, but the Senate under its rules and precedents cannot start and conclude a fair trial before the president leaves office next week. Under these circumstances, the Senate lacks constitutional authority to conduct impeachment proceedings against a former president. The Founders designed the impeachment process as a way to remove officeholders from public office—not an inquest against private citizens. The Constitution presupposes an office from which an impeached officeholder can be removed.
