Brian twenty four manipulates after the Brian twenty four manipulates after the hour back with a Fox news, alert lawmakers voting to impeach President Trump for a second time. But what standard could this set for future presidents, with the Senate trial set for taking on the president once he is out of office here to react? Fox news, contributor, George Washington LAW, Professor Jonathan Turley, Professor Turley, you said this should Georges Hunt forward for various reasons you have been on every day. Every channel saying this is a problem. Now that its done, what do you think? Well, it has created a pathway for what I call the snap impeachment. They basically circumvented the usual process of impeachment. They did not hold a hearing where the implications of the articles of impeachment could be considered. They did not give a formal opportunity for the president to respond in a hearing and they didnt give any real opportunity to amend the language. They went straight to the floor and demanded a vote

and they did get ten Republicans to vote with them, but it was largely a part, partisan vote. This can be used again in the future. I think thats very unfortunate. I have always said I dont hold people for viewing the presidents conduct impeachable. I dont like the language of this article of impeachment. I think that it is sweeping and it could have serious repercussions in the future as people weaponize this process against other presidents, Brian Mitch, Mcconnell Majority leader another week, im not coming back early im, not going to tell you how im going to vote. What would be the next step with majority leader, Chuck Schumer? Well its going going to get rather odd going forward, they will be holding a trial to remove a president who has already left now. The constitution refers to this as a process of removal. You can disqualify somebody from future office, but that is a

supplemental punishment that can be added in a separate vote. So there is going to be a threshold issue. Chief justice, John Roberts will have to decide. I have a column in U Dot Sa today coming out today, which is this really an impeachment trial when you dont with the current president, is a different guy and so Roberts may be asked to make that decision. As a threshold question and whether the Senate simply doesnt have continuing jurisdiction once someone is a private citizen, Brian Gotcha, it happened once before with a from war in eighteen, seventy six, but he was acquitted, Steve Brian, I heard there was a senator impeached twice second time he was out of office. They said he is already out of office. Senator blunt, I think real, quick, two things. They want to stop him from running again if they want to do that, they have to impeach him and then have a separate resolution to

stop him from running again, and that would just need a simple majority correct, but I dont know if they have a vote even to get through conviction on this. You know on the belt nap case, almost fifty percent of those senators voted an on an initial motion that they didnt think that this was a legitimate impeachment trial and ultimately they went on to acquit him. So this could be a repeat of that history, Brian unbelievable. We will see where we go from here. By the way we are in the middle of a pandemic. We have an economic crisis flourishing and vaccine not getting to the people fast enough, and we have a president coming in that wants to unite the country im, not sure if that lines up with an impeachment trial for someone out of office. In terms of my things to do list Jonathan, we need you more and more so get plenty of rest. Thank you, Brian. I will pick up u dot sa.
