Man did you see the cheeto fool blow up on Twitter today during his second impeachment as his “lawyers“ failed to make any headway? His tweets were outrageous... oh wait. Wah-Wah. Torture for him. Blissful silence for us. Aaaah. - Greg Grunberg ❤️🍑❤️🍑 (@greggrunberg) February 10, 2021
📝 William Belknap fmr Secretary of War (who you probably never heard of) resigned in 1876 minutes before he was due to be impeached for accepting thousands of dollars in kickbacks. Belknap argued that he couldn’t stand trial because he no longer held office. Senators disagreed and moved forward with the trial. ◀️ This was used in the argument that T45 can’t be impeached because he’s already out of office. Senator Cassidy (R-LA) was convinced that the impeachment trial was constitutional and voted with 5 other R Senators to join D Senators to proceed with the trial.
