Trump is doing his best to muddy the waters by calling all his actions as Qualified. No one is attacking that clause or believes it should not exist. The question is did his actions following the election constitute the duty of President or the of a Candidate? Were his calls to multiple Secretaries of States to influence elections done with the idea it would ensure accurate results or give him favorable results, did he send Rudy to Georgia to investigate crimes. The crux of the matter is where we draw that line and thus why its before the court.



Seems to me that calling out issues of fraud in a federal election would be in the perview of the executive branch.

If he directed the DOJ to investigate, and they came back and said "this is what we found", it would probably be "official".

When his AG says "we investigated and didn't find anything", and then he continues to make unsupported claims (against all advice from his official advisors and legal counsel) and goes so far as to try to get fake elector slates submitted to Congress, it's "personal".


Why?  



The executive is the arbiter of the issue, his people play an advise and consent role, but the executive can--and does all the time-- countermand the wishes of the AG or the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs or the SUrgeon General, etc.

Because his actions were in pursuit of personal benefit, not fulfilling his duties as chief executive and enforcer of the law.

The President takes an oath to the Constitution and to faithfully execute the Office.  Finding some crackpot lawyer who could never get a job working for the government to tell him what he wants to hear, and then acting based on that, is not how a president executes the Office.

Bunk, what about standing up for those who knew or thought there was a rigged election?  Don't they have a say after the paid for politicians and media say otherwise?

The law doesn't care about your feelings.

When POTUS is sworn in and gives a speech it should include the people the new administration is charging and a list of their crimes.  Spend the next four years prosecuting the former POTUS and all those around him.  Toss in a few representatives and senators for extra credit.

That might just slow down the government enough for the rest of us to go about our lives in peace.

Actually the next POTUS should play catch up. Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, GWB, Obama, and Biden. Can’t do Trump as they are taking care of his administration and advisors already.

Well the DOJ does not agree with you. According to them, if Barr told Trump it was ok, he would have full immunity. You would know this if you listened in.

If the next President has an attorney general with a differing view than the last one, who wins?

This is the problem of holding officials accountable.  Nobody can agree on what's right or wrong because they interpret the constitution differently, ignore the constitution, and/or act based on partisan beliefs rather than the law as previously interpreted by the supreme court.  Worse yet, activist judges (think Hawaii) can block executive actions or laws, and they aren't held accountable when their decisions are reversed by a higher court.  And while that winds its way through the courts, the stay remains in effect.  When one side engages in this behavior much more often than their opponents, it creates a real barrier to a functioning government, and skews society their direction.  Bingo! Here we are.

I don’t agree with your assumption, but there is nothing from stopping congress from holding impeachment hearings/votes on the drone strikes. Congress has ceded a lot of the power and oversight to the executive branch following WW2 but if they can prove he ordered a strike that isn’t covered under those provisions, yes it would be an impeachable offense. One that did fall under those provisions is going to an official act and perfectly legal.

Good question, I think that would be required. I also think it would be inappropriate to do so. I didn't like the future judging the past by further standards. If there wasn't sufficient will to impeach Obama shortly after his drone strikes became public it's not appropriate to dig them up later when the political winds change.


Remember, Trump was already out of office at the time of his second impeachment trial in the Senate.

I don't think Roberts wants to address the issue even though he was against indicting presidents.

I also think the prosecution side did a poor job of trying to argue that Trump wants absolute immunity and that the court should only rule on that aspect.  

Thomas was very telling and his arguments mirrored many of my previous posts warning that this could result in a pandora's box.   US Presidents have ordered all kinds of nasty shit - including massacres and they weren't prosecuted.

I believe either 5-4 or 6-3.  It depends on how much the other justices want to keep Roberts on board. There is a remote possibility that Kagan will side with Trump.

And the newest DEI Justice is a complete moron and an embarrassment.

Which conveniently gave Republican senators an excuse to vote not guilty, even as they gave speeches saying they believed he was guilty!

Y'all are literally making the argument that they were wrong in their legal process assessment and should have actually voted guilty!

The danger I see when applying this standard to other situations. In Obamas case, the DOJ said he was good to go. I don’t see anything stopping a future DOJ from looking back and saying actually he wasn’t good to go and starting the ball rolling for impeachment and criminal charges. There’s no possible way it doesn’t end in a tit for tat.

I agree with you that there has to be a way to hold a former president accountable for crimes if they are discovered after they leave office and they are either not seeking a second term or are excluded via term limits.
 
Pelosi went after President Ttrump with a second impeachment for Jan 6th and according to some legal scholars she did not follow procedure. The articles of impeachment went nowhere and she knew they would not but she said history will show he has been impeached twice.  If she had gone after him with what is being alleged in this case and framed it as a high crime and misdemeanor and he was not convicted in the senate does the next presidents DOJ get to cry foul and go after a political enemy by saying he was not properly held accountable?  

A sitting president has a duty to ensure election integrity even if it benefits them. Optics are a thing in this nation and let us not forget millions of voters believe Biden did not win. Millions believe the Russian Hoax perpetrated by our own gov't cost President Trump votes. Millions believe the first impeachment was unfounded and purely political, and now the opposition party is going after the same man yet again and on several fronts.

No.  The question is: If Rand Paul became President, should he be able to direct his DoJ to prosecute Obama for the extrajudicial killing of Americans in Yemen?



Did Obama act within the law?


Questioning teh outcome of an election is illegal?



He wasn't indicted for questioning the outcome.

Absolutely he was.  They dressed it up as "interference" but he didn't do or say anything different than his opponent in 2016 did when she lost.

Actually all of them.  You must have forgotten the DNC and Hillary's urging to bribe or intimidate electors to change their votes, the Democrats standing up and trying to stop the certification, and the accusations of the theft of the election.

They were embedding lawyers in combat everywhere.  You don't think a team of lawyers was reviewing and approving before any of that happened?

Bull shit charges. Asking for legit elections isn't a crime. They're twisting shit, as usual.
