Republicans and Democrats clash over the constitutionality of impeaching Trump minutes after being sworn in as jurors for his trial

at the end of the administration so they can do anything they like and be immune from the high court of impeachment?"

South Dakota Sen. Mike Rounds also signaled his position on impeachment, shaking his head when asked if impeaching Trump was constitutional. Paul forced the Senate to vote on the constitutionality of Trump's impeachment by raising a point of order while senators were being sworn in as jurors ahead of the impeachment trial. Though his effort had a very slim chance of succeeding, it foreshadowed how some Republicans may vote after the trial.

"If 34 people support my resolution that this is an unconstitutional proceeding, it shows they don't have the votes and we're basically wasting our time," he said, adding that impeachment would be "dead on arrival" if he got more than 34 votes.

Trump a superb President 👍🏻🇺🇸

Ask Linda for the crab salads recipt

Republicans are handling Trump with kid 🧤! I truly believe (given that the COWARDS had little-to-nothing to say during the insurrection) that Trump actually could shoot someone and not lose their loyalty! What a disgusting display of turning one’s back on an oath of office...🤮

I get it...if I didn't want to be put on the official record about the seditious actions of the former President I would be trying to stop this from happening too. Especially, If I were complicit with him like several Republican Senators have been. ConvictAndDisqualifyTrump
