Frankly, I think this was a good response that the Trump legal team has put forth regarding the silly notion of Articles of Impeachment drawn up against him. Yes, he was actually impeached a second time, but the point is made that even if he were to be convicted, he isn’t in office so how could he be removed? The answer is he can’t. On this one, like the previous impeachment charge, it’s nothing more than WWE, but there is at least some constitutional education in this one.
“It is denied that the 45th President of the United States ever engaged in a violation of his oath of office,” the Trump legal team brief says.
“To the contrary, at all times, Donald J. Trump fully and faithfully executed his duties as President of the United States, and at all times acted to the best of his ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, while never engaging in any high Crimes or Misdemeanors,” they continued.
“Donald John Trump, 45th President of the United States, respectfully requests the Honorable Members of the Senate of the United States dismiss Article I: Incitement of Insurrection against him as moot, and thus in violation of the Constitution, because the Senate lacks jurisdiction to remove from office a man who does not hold office,” the brief says.
