Specifically, there is no law prohibiting an ex-president from being impeached.
That's not how law works at all. The Constitution is extremely clear, impeachment is a process to convict and remove a sitting president, there is no process to impeach and convict a regular citizen.
The law is a process, the lack of a process for something does not mean it is permitted, it means the exact opposite. For example if you do not follow the legal process to obtain evidence, that evidence can not be legally used.
Yeah the left dont care about the law, and anyone who thinks they do are either not fully aware of the threat this bunch of lefties carry or are grossly misjudging their viciousness.
The House impeachment itself is a sham. It was done in 2 days, and without showing any evidence and they didnt even allow Trump to defend himself. Jim Jordan tried to speak up and said that Trump should be given an opportunity to respond and he was shut down.
But leave that aside. Just look at the first impeachment. They actually impeached Trump for an actual CRIME committed by Biden, and even Biden admitted and laughed about it, on video, that he asked the Ukraine prosecutor to get fired. Yet Trump was the fall guy.
This is sadly true which puts us in a difficult situation. If we have to break the law so they uphold the law that's the one time they'll uphold the law.
You know what though? I don't care. They can torture me, hang me or crucify me I no longer fear them.
They dont believe in God so where do they get their moral code? They make it up as they go. Moral relativism. The real revelation is that for America to work we have to understand and embrace objectivity. Literally the only thing that binds anyone together to coexist is the embracement of the object truth. Democrats know this and thus they reject all objectivity unless they are targeting a true american. Then they try to use it against said american. But they do not hold themselves to the standard because THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN OBJECTIVE RULE. Which is the only fair structure in the galaxy.
The Constitution is unclear on this issue. Nothing in the Constitution permits impeachment of a former president. Yet nothing rules it out.
The dems have time and again show abslutely no remorse for breaking the law. Even in this impeachment, there is no precedence where articles of impeachment against a sitting President have been drawn up and passed by House in 2 days, without any care about due process and without even putting the evidence on record, nor allowing President Trump to even respond to these crazy charges.
In December 2019, the Washington Post interviewed six scholars about that very question. Three believed it was a possible but unsettled question that a former president could face a Senate trial; two others said the Senate lacked such powers; and one scholar believed the Senate could try a former president.
There is precedent too:
Scholar Frank O. Bowman also pointed out another precedent: the 1876 impeachment trial of William Belknap, who served as Secretary of War for President Ulysses S. Grant. Belknap faced allegations of receiving kickbacks, and he resigned moments before the House approved articles of impeachment. The House charged Belknap with “basely prostituting his high office to his lust for private gain.” At Belknap’s trial, the Senate passed a motion in a 37 to 29 vote that “William W. Belknap, the respondent, is amenable to trial by impeachment for acts done as Secretary of War, notwithstanding his resignation of said office before he was impeached.” The Senate later acquitted Belknap on all charges, lacking a two-thirds majority to convict.
“basely prostituting his high office to his lust for private gain.”... that’s seems like precedent for impeaching most of both sides of the house... and going back a bit for the Clintons Obamas and Cheney amongst others.

Good point, unfortunately the current Congress doesn't even seem to care to pretend they follow the Constitution

This utter lawlessness is not going to stop.
