And about what happened in Jan 6th, I agree, Trump is officially considered mentally insane, but at the same time, the Democrats and Pelosi wanted to impeach and remove Trump from office, just a couple of weeks before Trump is actually removed from office because of the whole transition. So, I think it's not just Trump and the Republicans that are mentally insane, but Pelosi, and the Democrats are also just as mentally insane as well. So in reality, both Trump and Pelosi needs to be sent to the mental institution.
Actually, they can't remove him from office. Basically, the House impeachment is little more than a vote of no confidence, and the start of an investigation in the Senate which might lead to Trump never being able to run for office again - among other things.
Well, technically, even if they did manage to do that, it doesn't really mean that Donald Trump can't run again for president. Honestly, nothing is preventing him to do that because it doesn't really say anywhere in the US Constitution that "a former president that was removed due to orders of impeachment that he/she is disqualified from running for office of the President of the United States again" (if it does, I must of misread it), in order to change this though, both the House and Senate has to pass a bill to add a brand new 28th Amendment into the US Constitution to re-write the rules to be president stating that "if a person in office of the president has been impeached and removed would disqualify them to serve another non-consecutive term", because right now, nothing is prevent him to run in 2024 (or later) (because he still can technically serve 1 more term), but he would only run under the Independent ticket (knowing the Republican Party won't accept him again, and I highly doubt that the Libertarian Party will accept him either), and knowing the whole Duopoly stronghold of the Nation, the chances of Donald Trump winning the 2024 Election (and future Elections after that) under the Independent ticket is slim to none.
Even if Trump isn't Elected in 2024, and we have a candidate that supported Trump win the 2024 Presidential Election, all they can do is pardon Trump, and Trump can run in 2028 or 2032 (That is if, IF Trump is still alive by then). So basically, until they update the Constitution to prevent impeached presidents from serving future 2nd presidential term, we're still not out of the woods of a 2nd Donald Trump presidency.
That is a very well thought out argument, except, there is a clause in the Constitution. It's in the 14th amendment, which was created after the civil war. Section 3 in it clearly states that any government official, if convicted, of participating in, or encouraging, any insurrection, or rebellion, will not be eligible to run for any government office in the future.
Now, where it gets a little vague, is how it's done. It could be in the articles of impeachment, or maybe a simple resolution where a simple majority could pass it, to prevent Trump from running in 2024. We will just have to wait and see when the Senate takes it up.
True, it just depends on what happens, plus also what I mentioned, if whoever wins it in 2024 and they manage to successfully pardon Trump after the Senate does their thing to "prevent him to run for office in the future", which would technically mean that Donald Trump would be eligible to run again for president in 2028 or 2032, but by that time, Trump could be too old (Trump will be 82 in 2028 and 86 in 2032), so even by then if Trump doesn't die of old age, that is also the question.
But like I stated, if Trump does get pardon by whoever wins in 2024 (more in likely a pro-Trump Republican), and he manages to stay alive by then, then he may have a slight chance to maybe serve a 2nd term, but like I said, chances like that is extremely slim to none, he needs to get pardoned first and stay alive by then, which either-or, I just don't see happening.
Who would give him a pardon? He pretty much cheesed off Republicans by not only dividing them, but making them rethink how nutty do they really want to go after what happened with all these radicalized extremists showing up at the capital in his defense over the whole Election was rigged conspiracy he promoted. No wonder Democrats retook the senate - which is all the more reason Republicans are angry at him.
That is only "If" he does, but like I said, chances like that is slim to none, meaning it's not going to likely happen, the only, ONLY way Trump can get pardon after what happened, is that someone that supported him becomes president in 2024 (or later) and pardons Trump, but those chances is basically like what? 0.001% of happening, and even after a miracle and he does get pardoned, and he's still alive, and still interested, he will run under a 3rd Party (the Patriot Party), and knowing 3rd Party's history, and the Duopoly's grip in politics, chances of that happening is extremely low.
So, chances of Trump getting pardoned, and becoming president again under his "Patriot Party" is like what... 0.00001% of happening, so basically, it's not going to happen, but the chances if him becoming president again isn't zero though.
