Trump Impeachment Trial: Ted Cruz Writes It Is Constitutional to Impeach and Convict a Former President | National Review
On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted on the constitutional question of whether an impeachment trial may be held for Donald Trump now that he is out of office. Six Republicans joined all 50 Democrats in answering that question in the affirmative. Texas senator Ted Cruz was one of the 44 Republicans who voted that former president Donald Trump is not subject to a court of impeachment for acts committed while president, but in an article on Fox News, Cruz argues that, in fact, the Constitution does give Congress the authority to impeach and convict a former president.
This is what happens when people who are too clever by half go into politics.
