3. It's also happened before. In 1876, War Secretary William Belknap ran over to the White House and submitted his resignation to avoid impeachment and trial. It didn't work. The Senate conducted a trial more than a month after his resignation. https://t.co/DEF0EF63oO — PolitiTweet.org

2. This argument is appealing politically, but legally it's bunk. The Constitution's text does not limit impeachment to sitting Presidents. It also explicitly says the Senate can try ALL impeachments. And Trump was impeached. https://t.co/DEF0EF63oO — PolitiTweet.org

4. But don't take my word for it. The non-partisan Congressional Research Service investigated & found "most scholars...have concluded that Congress has authority to extend the impeachment process to officials who are no longer in office" https://t.co/DEF0EF63oO — PolitiTweet.org
