Triasha@lemmy.world 3 days agoThe Constitution is clear, the house votes to impeach, the Senate votes to convict and needs a supermajority.
Nixon resigned because it was a done deal that he would be convicted. Trump remained and his party did a little jury nullification and voted not guilty regardless of the evidence.
The SC didn’t need to do anything to stop impeachment (and doesn’t have the legal authority to do anything about it regardless)
