Impeachment Question:

[LakeVermilion]

So if the House impeaches the president, but the Senate starts the trial on January 19, and Biden becomes president on January 20, can Trump's impeachment trial continue after the inauguration?

Personally, I would like to deny Trump the benefits and perks that are his when he leaves office. I don't think he deserves a pension or a library.

1. I don't know

The trial seems to be a two step process. The first step is for removal requiring a 2/3rds vote. The second step is whether to prevent future holding of federal office and I think that is a majority but it is in some doubt. Somewhere stripping the rights and privileges from the former President would happen as well - how? I am not sure.

2. Trump's so RICH!!!!

He can pay his own way after grifting off the Presidency.

As for a Presidential Library, an abandoned Gas Station should suffice. There isn't ging to be much to fill it with anyway that cannot be fit in one room.

3. Yes it can. The question of removal would be moot, but not prohibition from holding office. Nt
