irrelevant. the threshold for trying impeachable crimes has been raised to purposely cryptic levels the effort would be pointless, and besides, there's much that a president could do as an official act in retaliation that Congress would likely not risk.
Impeachment only removes him from office. Unclear what would happen if he then ordered the FBI and military to arrest and imprison all Senators and just stayed put. Guess it would be an "official act."
An odd thing is that the Constitution says that an impeached person may subsequently be criminally indicted for the acts for which he was impeached.
SCOTUS has just said, not if it's the President.
The Roberts court will be recorded as the court that trampled the Constitution to serve Trump.
I understand that in theory but what is to stop an impeached president from citing this decision as the reason why an impeachment is not valid? I guess I’m asking the extent to which this muddies the waters of the remedy.
