Do you think impeachment of Trump now will serve any purpose?
The one purpose that makes some sense is to ban him from office for the rest of his life. I tried to find out whether a censure motion can include such language but have not been able to find out.
Other than that, I can see several negatives to impeachment:
1. It will further divide the country, where Biden’s stated objective is to try and unite the country.
2. Perhaps it leaves the country more secure when the President is removed; but how about the days it takes for the process to play out?
3. The Senate is obliged to hold a trial. When it does, it will take important time away from confirmation of Biden’s cabinet choices.
What do you think?
