So if President Biden ordered Drumph killed

[Tribetime]

As long as 35 Senators went along with it ir would be okay with you. I wished this was the question asked of his lawyers. I love to see drumphs facial expression then.

1. We don't even need the Senators. Biden can resign

after the deed and turn over the Presidency to the VP.

5. That never crossed Trumps feeble mind.

[mzmolly]

6. Welp

it crossed mine.

8. That's what I was thinking about. You can't be impeached if you're not in office can you?

[B.See]

9. Why not? What's good for the goose...

19. The weight of legal scholarship holds that an official can still be impeached after leaving office.

23. Appears open to debate.

Thanks for the info!

3. Or he could just resign immediately and since he wasn't impeached nothing

could be done.

21. The weight of legal scholarship is that a former official can still be impeached and convicted.

4. They may be counting on the fact that Biden is a decent man and wouldn't abuse it

There’s no telling about the presidents to come after him though

[rpannier]

15. If only there was a way to let him turn it over to me for 48-hours

I could go through 8 Death Notes in that time and still be trying to scrawl a few more names in the side margins

[triron]

10. If it's done well and covertly enough no one need ever know.

Doesn't the CIA have expertise for this?

11. Captain Pantload really thought that one through

[Dem2theMax]

12. 'Captain Pantload!'

[Tribetime]

13. I feel good Lawrence O'Donnel said the same thing himself tonight

14. It was asked by Judge Florence Pan

Judge Florence Pan, D.C. Circuit Court Of Appeals:

Could a president who ordered Seal Team Six to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached, would he be subject to criminal prosecution?

John Sauer, Attorney For Donald Trump:

If he were impeached and convicted first.

Judge Florence Pan:

So your answer is no?

John Sauer:

My answer is qualified yes. There's a political process that would have to occur under our — the structure of our Constitution, which would require impeachment and conviction by the Senate.

[Justice matters.]

16. Sewer's BS answer is nowhere to be seen in our... the structure of...

He just made it up out of nowhere for a criminal client of one.

[Marcuse]

17. "My people say you prefer defenestration. What is that exactly?"

[Emile]

18. Hypothetically the president could order the deaths of congressmen

to guarantee there could be no impeachment.

[onenote]

20. Only if you believe that the Democrats would stand by and allow that to happen. I don't.

But then again, I believe that Democrats have a moral compass, and you apparently don't.

It wouldn't guarantee no impeachment. It would guarantee impeachment and conviction.

[GoodRaisin]

22. Yes.

No problem.

Even without the Senators.
