[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It does matter that Trump was not convicted by the Senate. But if we now say a president can be tried criminally once they have left office for actions taken while in office, why not have that apply to all prior presidents. That would be interesting to see.[/quote] Many of the Republican senators that voted against conviction claimed that they didn’t believe impeachment was the proper place to deal with Trump’s conduct. They claimed that impeachment was to remove a sitting president and since Trump was no longer president, they couldn’t convict. https://www.justsecurity.org/74725/in-their-own-words-the-43-republicans-explanations-of-their-votes-not-to-convict-trump-in-impeachment-trial/ If the senate couldn’t convict because he wasn’t president when brought up for trial, and the judicial system can’t do anything because the senate has to convict first, he truly is above the law.
