Under which law can a civilian be impeached ? answer: there are none.
posted ago by Fringe--dweller ago by Fringe--dweller +405 / -0

I had a discussion with my buddy Fr. Ockham, who advised me as follows:

Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body addresses legal charges against a government official.

Draw strength, we don't know everything we know that Trump won, by a lot. The Politicians know more than the public about the true status of DJ Trump, he is still the legal President, not Biden.

Why else are they going down the impeachment route ?

If DJ Trump was now a civilian, they would be unable to impeach him.

He's already been impeached (while in office), but not convicted.

They want to stick the insurrection charge on him (through political process) due to Section 3 the 14th amendment:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

They will never convict him in court, because he is innocent.

But if they convict him in congress they can (try to) point to the 14th amendment and prevent him from running or at least convince the public that it would be unconstitutional for him to run.

It's all very flimsy and manipulative like you would expect from Democrats and Republicans.
