In cases on impeachment, doesn't mention treason.
Oh wait…
Impeachment:
The Constitution gives Congress the power to impeach federal officials. An official can be impeached for treason, bribery, and “other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
So no one is safe if you fucked over your own country. Well played founding fathers.
It's written right here… there is no opinion the USSC can have:
Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
Impeachment:
The Constitution gives Congress the power to impeach federal officials. An official can be impeached for treason, bribery, and “other high crimes and misdemeanors.”
But now what if the Congress were treasonous and bribed to Impeach someone without evidence though…
The USSC would have to make judgment whether the Impeachment was Just Due'd and such since Congress is the only ones that can Impeach but what if the Impeachers are Impeached?
Yes it does because if you are Impeached for treason then a pardon cannot save you from being investigated for the treason impeachment.
Cuz lets not forget Trump was unjustly impeached.
I think USSC / Senate has authority over Impeachments and can overrule them if unjustly due'd'ed according to the quick Googles I did.
Has to be for treason or bribery. Apparently not because Mayorkas was impeached and he still there.
I literally did in this bread.
That's literally what I am saying. Did Trump's impeachment and Mayorkas go to Senate ever? Think Senate acquitted Trump. Now GOP has majority in Senate (the target) for future impeachments, of which would make anyone not immune if impeached from pardons.
You're all fucked now. When the dumbass retard (me) figures it out, it's over.
>the president can still pardon them of criminal charges
Yeah that's what I'm saying. But there is an exception, you cannot be pardoned for treason or bribery according to the clauses in previous posts mentioned this bread (scroll up).
You ain't keeping up with what other anons were saying:
Article II, Section 2, Clause 1:
The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment (treason, bribery).
Good to know thx.
The pardon doesn't work for treason or bribery is the main point this whole bread I been talkin'.
So if you smoked crack and banged a prostitute you can be pardoned. But if you took part in a pay-to-play scheme to allow foreigners to influence your position of power at the detriment of the safety of homeland security and such as - that cannot be pardoned.
Yeah but to be impeached in the first place you would have to satisfy 1 or 2 things:
-You took a bribe
-Treason
Oh ok I think I get it now. You can be pardoned for even treason and bribery by the president, unless you are impeached, and then the impeachment trial passes Senate. Well looks like Snowden and Assange have a chance now.
So the President of the United States is the God Emperor of the Universe. Good to know.
Ugh now I gotta look up state crimes. Anyways appreciate the lesson.
