Would you vote for Biden if he is impeached?

but they still have to vote for the trial and moreover the longer this goes the less likely it would be that there would be a trial ( at least while he was in office ( particularly if he was found unfit or dropped out of the race with that pressure.

This is a bit confusing. There seems to be implication that a *criminal* trial of a President (or perhaps even an ex-president) requires an impeachment in this and previous posts on this thead. It does not. There is no connection between impeachment and criminal prosecution. At. All. Neither requires, or is required, nor implies the other.

The final stage in the impeachment process is a trial in the Senate, but that is a political act only. If an impeached federal officer (including a President) is convicted, they are removed from office. Nothing more. There is a separate vote afterward for future disqualification from office and that is the limit of the power of impeachment.

(As with anything that happens in the Senate, or any other legislative body, there would have to be a resolution or motion to schedule and set the parameters [reconfiguring the floor, determining who can be present in the Senate for the trial, etc.] of a Senate impeachment trial. This might involve a vote, or it might not. Remember these are the same bodies that pass joint resolutions to set up special session to hear the State of the Union address.)

Articles of Impeachment that are passed by the House is just an indictment. What happens next is up to the Senate. Which can decide to hold a trial. But nothing in the impeachment process--as stated in Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution--requires it. The Senate can vote right away to uphold the House's Articles of Impeachment, or dismiss them. But it takes a 2/3 vote to uphold the Impeachment articles, which removes the President from office immediately. That's nearly impossible to achieve.

Most definitely yes. Peeps on the other side are going to vote for their impeached leader, and so shall we, IF it happens.

Please show us where Biden has paid people to vote for him since you are accusing Biden of a crime.

Pick your government hand out program. That is how democrats roll, promised this or that government hand out to get a vote.

Then you admit that Biden is NOT paying people to vote for him.

I received checks from trump when he was president! I bet you received them too.

Right. Like tax breaks for the rich.

Oh wait, that's the GOP's deal.

That is irrelevant to the fact that most likely you received cash from both trump and Biden. I hope you declined to cash the checks if you received them.

Taxes! That's corporate welfare, and that's OK. They take those savings and trickle it onto their employees...

Why would i not take back the money the government took away from me in the first place. Seems like you do not understand what a handout is, if you think that was a handout. It was to the people who do not work, i paid for their check.

You took money from 'corrupt politicians'. I suppose we all give in when the price is right....

If I think that was a handout, then I don't know what a handout is? I never mentioned a handout, that is your word. I said 'sent a check'

You paid for their check, while others paid for your check. You claim democrats give out handouts, but you do not take handouts because you believe it was yours in the first place. Is this an accurate statement? If you believe that it was yours in the first place, then isn't it also theirs to take without calling it a handout?

By the way, the checks were sent out to all eligible people regardless of their employment status.

One last question - since it is illegal to pay people to vote for them, do you still contend that Biden broke the law and is paying people to vote for him?

I think the really interesting point about this is that in 2020, in the months before the election while campaigning was going on, Trump was the first President to ensure his name was put on the checks because he wanted to ensure that people knew they checks were coming "from him." Somehow, doing it in 2021 (just after the election) and Biden not having his name on the checks, seems like a poor way to "buy votes" comparatively.

That nonsense. Democrats, that I know are smart and make good money. So, they don't need handouts. Also, I know a few Conservatives that use the welfare system. They talk just like you just do.
