Impeached, or not impeached? Here's what the legal experts say.
As Speaker Nancy Pelosi delays sending articles of impeachment to the Senate, a skirmish has broken out among a small group of scholars over whether President Donald Trump was actually impeached by the House of Representatives on Wednesday.
.@NoahRFeldman is making a clever but wholly mistaken point when he says Trump hasn’t “really” been impeached until the Articles reach the Senate. Under Art. I, Sec. 2, Clause 5, he was impeached on Dec 18, 2019. He will forever remain impeached. Period. https://t.co/FkwTNG5fiV Last night, House Democrats passed the thinnest, weakest presidential impeachment in American history. Now they’re suggesting they are too afraid to even submit their accusations to the Senate and go to trial. The prosecutors are getting cold feet in front of the entire country.
