Can the president be impeached after he leaves office?

One of the comments:

Semantics would more appropriately describe the judge’s questioning. Sauer’s answer follows established doctrine. It is OLC policy that a president cannot be indicted while in office. https://www.vox.com/2019/7/24/20708393/robert-mueller-report-trump-olc-justice-department-indictment-charge-sitting-president And removal of the president is guided by the Constitution.

Fantasy.

Nope. He didn’t make that argument, he should be commended for his delicate handling of an irrational question from an irrational judge. She made the preposterous direction that it was a yes or no question. It’s not. More has to be known, such as: why did he give the order? Is the opponent wearing a suicide vest? Pointing a gun? Did they shoot him? Was it a lawful order? Why would the Seals be taking commands from the President and not their chain of command? In the extremely unlikely event that a President committed such an act, Sauer is correct, that impeachment and conviction would have to come first. He didn’t say the president would be immune if he was first convicted in the Senate.

The dimocrat party is the least democratic party of all. Even if a candidate wins delegates, party selected Super Delegates have enough power to sway the election to their preferred candidate. While they screech about the electoral college and one man one vote, they strive to pack the court and add states to improve their chances. When in the minority, they wield the filibuster with a vengeance, and deride it as racist Jim Crow when in the majority. They have no, or at least little, virtue.

This is a misrepresentation of the situation of possibly the stupidest question ever raised by a judge. We are now seeing the implications of this ruse playing out in proposed charges against nearly every ex-president whom is still alive.

I read this article yesterday and have seen the Maddow clip. Of course, it was at the end of a few minutes of clips of her and other media members proclaiming matters that were later revealed to be untrue.

They’re handy at the golf course.

By hand?

I did my best by leaving it capitalized.

It is common for voters to speak ill of politicians. It is common for politicians to attack their political opponents. What Dimon is getting at is that from the elitist media, to biden, to hiliary, attacking the voters who have repeatedly shown their sagacity, is not a winning strategy. The Republicans think democrats are good people with a bad plan. Dimocrats think Republicans are bad people.

You’re correct, and call her a racist nazi while doing it.

They’ll do anything to squeeze more money out of us.

There is evidence and admissions of dimocrat support for Nimarata Haley. What is the reason? Do they actually prefer her to Biden? Do they fear Trump? Would they prefer her to Trump as an opponent?

Yeah, for some reason the government is losing the trust of the citizenry.

Seriously?

Would it be better if Election Day was April 15th?

It’s not that difficult, once you learn a little about the process. The first thing you learn is how to sharpen tools. When they are shaving sharp, planes and chisels and saws are amazing tools.

Polls showed that about half of haley’s Iowa voters were democrats and would vote for Biden over Trump.
