In response to "Sasse open to considering articles of impeachment -- nm" by znufrii

I keep thinking about this timeline. Wouldn't it be smarter to impeach on the 19th, then have the new Senate vote to convict? -- nm

The new senate is already seated, but yes it might make sense to wait until the two Dems from GA are there, if that’s what you mean. -- nm* - znufrii Jan 8, 07:06 2
- Yes, wait until the GA Dems are there. -- nm - mara Jan 8, 07:11 1
  - Gotcha. Not sure how the timing on GA certifying the election goes for that to be able to happen. - znufrii Jan 8, 07:14
Yes, it wouldn't remove Trump from office, but it would prevent him from running again. -- nm - mara Jan 8, 07:05 6
- seriously asking - he's already been impeached, right? why would this impeachment prevent that if the previous one did not? -- nm - Andie Jan 8, 07:11 3
  - He wasn't convicted. Only the conviction (and possibly a second vote to bar him from holding office) would have that effect. -- nm - mara Jan 8, 07:12 1
    - ah, thanks. -- nm - Andie Jan 8, 07:14
  - NB: I think he should be impeached, absolutely, just clarifying this one point. -- nm - Andie Jan 8, 07:12
- That's an angle that I hadn't heard. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 8, 07:10 1
  - Possibly it takes a separate vote, rather than happening automatically. Certainly a second vote would be the safer course. -- (link) - mara Jan 8, 07:12
