Volokh Conspiracy, the blog of leading constitutional scholar Eugene Volokh, has cited a piece by another influential scholar, Michael McConnell, that Trump was impeached by the correct body, the house, at the correct time, before his departure from office on January 13.
Therefore, argues McConnell, since the constitution allows ALL impeachments to be tried, Trump can in fact be tried even though he is now out of office.
Another proof that the law and the courts are NOT the answer, but a part of the problem, in America.
