This time next week, Trump will be gone

We're almost there.

Right now, Nancy Pelosi is President of the United States

Not officially or legally. But it is SHE who is upholding our Constitution, protecting our nation, and ensuring that our laws are faithfully executed while the two men sworn to do those duties are nowhere to be seen or heard.

More truth about the modern day Coup-Klutz-Klan

The 14th Amendment prohibition against insurrectionists holding office is a great option , BUT

it isn't immediately available since a conviction for insurrection wi first be required and that will take awhile.

I think it's a valid option, but want to caution folks not to think it can be invoked quickly or easily.

Ari Berman and a thing that makes you go "Hmm?"

Dayum! The FBI ain't playing ...

BREAKING: Trump has found a new media platform

Sen. Brown just said on MSNBC he saw a maskless, screaming Lindsay Graham berate a CP officer

during the siege for not doing enough to protect him and his colleagues.

Yes, Trump will get a pension and Secret Service protection after he leaves office.

The Former Presidents Act guarantees all former presidents an annual pension and office expenses, and 18 U.S. Code §3056 guarantees lifetime Secret Service protection.

The only exception is that presidents who have been impeached and removed from office are not entitled to any of the benefits provided in the Former Presidents Act.* They are, however, still entitled to lifetime Secret Service protection.

So, even if the House impeaches Trump, unless the Senate convicts and removes him from office before noon on January 20 - which is most likely not going to happen - he will be entitled to receive all of the financial benefits that other former president has gotten. But, even if he were removed through impeachment, that would not affect his lifetime Secret Service protection, which he will get regardless how he leaves office.

The drafters of the Former Presidents Act likely never foresaw a situation in which a president would be impeached at the very end of his term but not be removed before the term ends. Congress may close that loophole to eliminate the pension and expenses in case this situation ever occurs again, but even if they do, the tightened law would apply only to future presidents who take office after the effective date of the revision.

*The term “former President” means a person --

(1) who shall have held the office of President of the United States of America;

(2) whose service in such office shall have terminated other than by removal pursuant to section 4 of article II of the Constitution of the United States of America;

Instead of hectoring Pelosi and the Dems to rush articles of impeachment to the Senate

why not badger Republicans to conduct an actual, immediate trial and vote to convict and remove Trump?

They're the bad guys not the Dems.
