There’s a little-known precedent on the books that Democrats are trying desperately to have removed before the impeachment trial of President Trump begins. In 1974, as Nixon faced impeachment, the Republican Congress passed a law that would allow his term to be extended if he was acquitted.
The law was specific to Nixon, and was set to expire in 5 years, but Nixon resigned. The removal of the law, therefore, never happened.
According to legal analyst and constitutional scholar, Art Tubolls, the fact that the law exists at all sets a precedent:
“The law is very clear. An acquittal, which they were sure they would get until all the facts came to light, would have meant that Nixon’s term was stolen from him, and that three years or less could be added to his time in office without causing a constitutional crisis.

ReplyDeleteFor sure.
DeleteYep, they use the name "Art Tubolls" as everything from a Bishop to a Presidential Advisor on one satire site...
ReplyDeleteWhen Trump beats the impeachment charges he should push HARD for this to be done. The resulting meltdown of insanity and hatred this would produce in the commie left and their moronic sycophants would likely be the end of the demonrat party as it currently exists.
