[EL] Rand Paul argues Trump should not be tried as a private citizen

[Richard Katz]

Don't we need to make the distinction, generally forgotten in the press - and sometimes on this list, between impeachment (which is the voting of the charges, and which happened while Trump was still president) and the trial and possible conviction (which is what is happening after Trump left office).

Dear list,

Any merit to Sen. Paul's argument that it is unconstitutional for Congress to try to impeach Trump after his term ended, because he now is a private citizen?
