Rorey
(8,514 posts)13. Heck, I'll even send him some Oreos NT
Xipe Totec
(44,507 posts)2. He'll be entitled to a lifetime supply of KFC buckets of chicken
Methinks a 12 month's supply should do it.

but not if he is convicted and removed. DUs StarfishSaver would know for sure.
Wounded Bear
(63,970 posts)10. Is actually what I meant...
but it didn't fit in the title line.

(5,810 posts)6. Yes, only loses pension if convicted for impeachment plus Congress votes to strip pension benefits

(33,424 posts)12. No, Congress does not have that power.
Article II, Section 1, Clause 7 prohibits it. The Pension is earned the second he took the oath and can't be taken away.
Brother Buzz
(39,698 posts)7. Yes, until he's found guilty on the articles of Impeachment

(2,605 posts)8. He'll no doubt donate it
He's a very wealthy man, dontcha know.
