Who does?
The house alone
Then if they impeach it goes to the senate
he is only impeached if the senate deems him guilty after a senate trial
They hold a trial, presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but their decision is not subject to judicial review
No
Your terms are wrong
na
we've been over this before
They vote to remove him from office
They neither “impeach” him or declare him “guilty”
They strip him of his office, and with it his sovereign immunity
impeachment is the charge that removes him from office, and he has to be found guilty of it
What? I thought an impeachment did not necessarily mean removal from office?
Then he can be charged normally by th DOJ
Gotcha.
Which won't happen
Want to be clear here, because pelth has terms mixed up
Didn't Trump put Barr in the DOJ?
Impeachment is solely done by house vote
the charge of impeachment
He could be charged at any time after that within the statutes of limitations
not the conviction of impeachment
No but really, didn't Trump put Barr as AG?
it's one process
yes he did
Isn't that a conflict of interest?
no
Yes
But, what if Barr is in Trump's pocket.
No evidence of such, but still.
2 things
Barr could refuse himself
(President) Pence might replace him anyway
And after the next election, the new DOJ could decide to charge Trump even if the old one didn’t
Ah gotcha.
there won't be a new doj
he is winning
Again, this could even be in 2025
But this whole scenario is we’re talking about if he were to be removed from office by the senate, which seems fairly unlikely right now
