re: #17 KGxvi

That’s some rather impressive legal gymnastics, since the Constitution also says this:

-Article III, Section 4.

I’m fairly certain that a plain reading of that bit makes it clear that impeachment can only be invoked for sitting officers/judges. Especially since impeachment does not protect against criminal liability:

-Article I, Section 3

Beyond that, there’s the whole problem of them not being able to get 67 votes in the Senate (even assuming they could pass articles of impeachment in the House). All this would do is fire up Democratic voters, turn off independents and moderates, and likely demoralize Republican voters.

So win, win, win is what you’re saying….
