Seems the GOP is starting to get on board and Trump has now become toxic to the party, they want to keep him from running in 24.
No, they can’t. People claiming it’s a possibility are letting their partisanship overwhelm their reason or scholarship. The Founding Fathers were very clear that they thought a criminal indictment against a sitting President was problematic to say the least. The mechanism of impeachment is purely to remove said Chief Executive. It’s not a criminal trial, although it should use the same standards of evidence. If said person is out of office, impeachment is irrelevant and invalid.

I think the Dems are going down this road to besmirch Trump because they know they’d lose in court if they tried actual criminal charges. With impeachment, they can have a standard-less kangaroo court like they did the first time around. We’ve already seen Kamala has no compunction about using the legal system against people she knew were innocent.
