We
are in a
war
in
which
our
Iranian
enemy had
pleaded
with unspecified
individuals
or
groups
for help
removing
President Donald Trump from
office.
There
were even
unofficial
reward
offers, such
as a multi-million dollar bounty
, for killing
President Trump.
The
Democrats'
attempt to use
impeachment
to remove
President
Trump from
office would
have given
our
Iranian
enemy's
leaders
what
they said
they wanted
.
Wouldn't
that
mean
the
Democrats
would
have given
aid and comfort
to
our
Iranian
enemy?
Isn't
giving
our
enemy
''Aid and Comfort
"
what
the
Constitution
calls
"treason"
( Art III Sec 3)
?
Will Senators
who vote Donald
Trump "
guilty"
be
committing
treason (
giving
our
enemy
''Aid and Comfort
")
by telling our
Iranian
enemies
they
will
no longer
have to worry about dealing
with
President Donald Trump?

Will Senators Who Vote Donald Trump " Guilty" be Committing Treason?

Senate Trial of Donald Trump Would be Blatantly Unconstitutional
The Constitution
clearly
defines impeachment as a procedure for
removing
individuals from federal office.
"Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to
removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any
Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United
States" Obviously the person must hold a government
office at the
time of the trial or the removal question
is moot The
Senate cannot
remove
a
the
person
from an office the person doesn't hold. Nothing
in the impeachment provision
authorizes the Senate to try private citizens even
those who once held government
office. Our
system of government
is based on the concept that
government generally
can only do what it is authorized to
do.
Many laws have a statute
of limitations which require a prosecutor to prosecute
a
defendant within a
specific time period after
the crime or forfeit
prosecution. The
statute of
limitations
for
impeachment
cases
isn't
a specific
time
period.
The
statute of
limitations for
impeachment
cases
expires
if the
office
holder's
term expires
or
if the office
holder resigns
or
is fired
by
a
supervisor.
The
Senate's
failure
to
try
Donald
Trump before
he
left office
allowed the
statute
of limitations
to
run out
with
the Senate
forfeiting
the option
of
trying Donald
Trump.
