They're not trying remove him.
No one of consequence likes to make up the constitution on the
fly, because they're illiterate and can't read.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all
Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they
shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the
President of the United States is tried, the Chief
Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be
convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds
of the Members present.
Nothing there that the presiding officer can dismiss an
impeachment. Unless the senate rules allow it, it has to continue
until the senate votes on conviction.
I feel sorry for Roberts. Last time he took this seriously while
Moscow Mitch turned it into a joke. I've no doubt wingnuts are
sending him and his death threats for a process he has little
control over.
Roberts is not participating thus providing a *second* reasom why this >>>>> trial is unconstitutional.
No, that does not make it unconstitutional in any way. If an impeachment of the
president occurs and the chief justice is unable to preside, due to illness or
vacancy of the position, it does not mean the trial cannot proceed.
As always, you're not thinking.
Show us where in the Constitution
LOL! You're channeling scooter now.
it says this.
It doesn't say it. Logic dictates it. If the founders had intended that the >> impeachment trial could not go forward if there were no chief justice, they >> would have said so.
