It is unclear if a Senator or Representative can be impeached.

>Finally, congressional practice indicates that Members of Congress are not officers of the United States. In 1797, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Senator William Blount, the first impeachment in the history of the young Republic. Two years later, the Senate concluded that Senator Blount was not a civil officer subject to impeachment and voted to dismiss the articles because that body lacked jurisdiction over the matter. This determination has been accepted ever since by the House and the Senate, and since then, the House has never again voted to impeach a Member of Congress.

 

They are subject to recall, i.e. removal by their constituents, and expulsion, i.e. removal by their peers. Impeachment is a process carried out by the legislative branch so how would you form an "impartial" body to adjudicate the charges?

 

The executive branch could file charges and the judicial branch convict, which historically has led to expulsion, e.g. Jim Trafficant, but I don't think impeachment is an option. If her citizenship were to be revoked she would no longer be eligible to hold the seat.

Trump may be using impeachment in a generic sense.

Article 1, Section 2:

The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers;and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

 

Also impeachment is unnecessary in the case of Ilhan Omar as the House has full authority to expel any member at any time so the Senate does not need to be involved.

You seem to be unaware that Ilhan Omar is not POTUS and thus Roberts would have nothing to do with it.

In addition the Senate is only involved in the trial phase. The House impeaches.

 

I am deriving my beliefs for the US CONSTITUTION. Perhaps you should become familiar with it before you pontificate further.

You just made my point. It would be a trial not an impeachment. Article 1, Section 2, Clause 5 of the US constitution: The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; andshall have the sole Power of Impeachment.So a military tribunal cannot impeach. I will take the US CONSITUTION over google any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

 

As for your assertion that Ilhan Omar would qualify as an enemy combatant, that is a matter which would have to be adjudicated by the judicial branch since she is currently a citizen.

No act by Trump from his first administration invoking war powers could possibly have any effect now since the war powers act limits that status to 90 days. It would take a declaration of war by congress to invoke war powers at this point.

 

Stop relying on generic google searches for your arguments, you just make yourself look dogmatic.
