What Does The Constitution Say About Trying A Former President? | NBC News NOW

1. Impeachment exists to remove someone in office.

   Have to be in office to be removed from office. Nixon left to avoid impeachment, no impeachment. Nixon was guilty of a crime, however. Trump clearly did not call for a riot or vandalizing anything. He said "Peacefully and patriotically" make your voices heard. There was no insurgency, there were about 200 people involved.

   This is why Chief Justice Roberts is not presiding, he knows this entire farce is unconstitutional.

   The Democrats are so obsessed, they will say or do anything to win and prevent Trump from steering the nation back to The American School of Economics.

2. If these people trump hires are the best I hate to see the worse

3. The rustic mimosa demographically polish because knight regretfully precede via a poor activity. bashful, grubby gruesome jelly

4. Every single Trump supporter is a terroristic traitor. The only path to unity is to execute the terroristic traitors that attacked our capitol. Only after every single one of those people is executed can we begin to heal as a nation.

5. Stop the nonsense, Democrats need to wake up and stop this sham of idiotic trial. Do your job and take care of the American people who are financially hurting.

6. hese Rinos voted against TRUMP on the impeachment Republican Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Mitt Romney (Utah), Ben Sasse (Neb.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), and Pat Toomey (Pa.) we must not forget…can now others out of ofc. can be impeached ?

7. This trial shows the WORLD how Dangerous, Corrupt and Evil, Trump and the Republican partry really is. Seeing it LIVE.

8. He better remove him if he doesn’t put him in jail

9. There's a reason the Left wants to impeach President Trump. It's because he really is the President. The Republicans in the senate say this is unconstitutional. they're missing the obvious point. It is not unconstitutional if President Trump actually won, which he did. This is a way to legitimize Biden. By pursuing impeachment, any proof of election malfeasance becomes moot. This is a way to safeguard Biden, that's all. Smart move, I must say, since most Republicans can't see through it.

10. STOP TYPING when your guests are speaking. So annoying

11. NBC News trying to explain the Constitution is hilarious

12. Don't try to explain it the circus is laughable and all who are involved. Nothing in the Constitution would support this sham

13. Bitcoin is the future, investing in it now will be the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise.

14. Senate is above the courts and law. I don't care about the Capitol. The Democrats leveled Chicago and The Dirksen…building and the Government / democratic governor didn't care

15. Временами, не справляясь с тоской и не в силах смотреть и дышать, Я глаза закрываю рукой, о тебе начинаю мечтать. О девушке стройной и томной, как тебя увидали бы все, А о девочки тихой и скромной , наклоненной над книжкой " Мюссе" День когда Ñ‚Ñ‹ узнала впервые, Что есть Индия-чудо чудес, Что есть тигры и пальмы святые- для меня этот день не исчез. Иногда Ñ‚Ñ‹ смотрела на море, а над морем сходилась гроза. И совсем настоящее горе застилало туманом глаза, Почему по прибрежьям безмолвным, не возноситься дворцам золотым? Почему по светящимся волнам, не приходит к тебе серафим? И я знаю, что в детской постели , не спалось вечерами тебе. Сердце билось, и взоры блестели, о большой Ñ‚Ñ‹ мечтала судьбе. Утонув с головой в одеяле, Ñ‚Ñ‹ хотела стать солнца светлей, чтобы люди тебя называли счастьем, лучшей надеждой своей. Этот мир не слукавил с тобой, Ñ‚Ñ‹ внезапно прорезала тьму , Ñ‚Ñ‹ явилась слепящей звездой, хотя и не всем- только мне одному, И таинственный твой собеседник вот я душу мою отдаю, за твой маленький детский передник, за разбитую куклу твою…..

19. Can't wait to see the clown impeachment trial to expose all criminal activities of the clown then it's DOJ job to convict the clown justice matters#@

20. Does anyone know how many children went to bed hungry last night? Asking for a taxpayer.

21. This guy could have singled handily ruined the democratic process cus he wanted to be the next. Puttin!!!

22. Yes it is it happened before soooo.

23. Typical

24. "We going to walk and I'll be there with you.".. Yeah right. If America wants real democracy it is necessary accountability, trues and justice.

25. We have a situation like Al Capone having his goons on the jury that is deciding his guilt. It is no different. If Capones goons rule against him they get wiped out so find Capone innocent. It is no different. For starters Cruz and Hawley should not be a juror since they are coconspirators and by finding Trump innocent also cleams them of wrong doing. The system is a mess and no one is addressing it. I say just drop the impeachment and try Trump in criminal court for acts against the United States and field impartial jurors.
