    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.

    Hi Rudely!

    <plonk>


    Whoops!  Looks like Bit of Nothingness got caught in *another* lie:

        Just FYI Rudey, I've realized that my letting you know you've been
        plonked just encourages your immature behavior.  Hence forth [sic], when
        you've been spotted (and it's super easy), you willl [sic] be plonked
        without comment, leaving you to wail at an empty room.
