Schumer vows to hold impeachment trial
Senate Majority Leader Schumer insisted Wednesday that the Senate will push forward with an impeachment trial of former President Trump, despite the procedural vote on Tuesday. Only five Republicans voted to table the motion then, while 45 Republicans voted in support of dismissing the trial. 67 votes are required to convict Trump. Schumer called the vote by 45 Republicans ’deeply irresponsible.’
Joe and Hunter Biden should be the ones impeached for profiting off the office of the vice president. When Joe Biden was the VP.
The Belknap impeachment is a poor example. Even then, many senators said the same thing they are now, that impeaching someone who has left office was unconstitutional. They won a slim majority on a 37-25 vote to proceed (yesterday's vote was 55-45) and, most importantly, Belknap was not convicted, and obviously, neither will Trump. The fact that they proceeded with both does not mean that it is constitutional, it just means the majority didn't care and went ahead, anyway.
This isn't about the rule of law or about bettering the country, this is about petty revenge, the Democrats are still upset they lost in 2016.
Well, they don't really have anything else to do, with mush brains signing every order, and then some, put in front of him.
How can people ignore that Trump said to ‘march there and peacefully and patriotically let your voices be heard’?
This is a great use of time, money, and effort, keep it up Chuck! I'm kidding this is B.S.
Wag that finger. You'd do the same were the position reversed. Partisanship and all that.
I guess the republicans are afraid of something. They are making the republican party the a laughing stock and they have no courage to stand on their own two feet to impeach trump even with all the bad things he’s done. I guess doing criminal things is ok with their party. It doesn’t matter if he’s no longer the president he did wrong while in position of the presidency. Get a back bone.
Schumer is more concerned with his manhood than he is with getting another witchhunt going.
Said it before and I will say it again. The puppetmasters want to make sure that nobody they can't control gets in office ever again.
Obviously Trump left America great again, otherwise Dems would be focusing on real problems Trump left for them.
This is what happens when you threaten to primary people like Schumer. They find their backbone to save their own skin.
Republicans just showing they never cared about the country or the rule of law.
Recall the ignorant individual! Or.... As they are attempting something intended for a man in office, out the man back in office first.
A big smokescreen to hide Bidens Exec. Orders.
They are so scared of Trump. Cant let it go.
Schumer has an erection, I mean a hard on for Trump.

Trump was impeached while president. The trial will take place after he is not in office. What is so hard to understand about this?
None of this is about justice or democracy or the constitution. This is about revenge. They don't like the public looking behind the curtain. Trump is guilty of pulling back the curtain and they don't want him to do it again in 2024.
