45 will lose all benefits ?

[samintx]

I think I’m right. Money and secret service will end with impeachment the second time.

actually, I think it's possible. i just read an article saying one of the stipulations Congress can make upon conviction is to make him ineligible to hold elected office. Though it might antagonize 45 diehards, I can think of a number of republicans who would benefit from 45 not being able to run in 2024.

oh, and this can all be done after the 20th with the new Senate.

Let's do this!

Congress could pass a separate law to kill his pension and Secret Service protection.

I don’t think you will get enough republicans to sign on. They are too beholden to those Trumpers and dare not antagonize them. They need/want their votes next election. They will say, let’s move forward, he is gone, blah, blah, blah.
If it were just a majority, yes, but a 2/3 majority, I can’t see it happening.

Please, please let me be wrong like I was about Biden taking GA

Maybe we need a Secret Service chaperone — like when he goes to Russia (with all our top secrets).

Will he apply for unemployment?

It sure would benefit the R's looking to run in '24 if he were declared ineligible. Wonder if they will take the stand or hope somebody else does it for them (like they did this week).

Well, OK, I guess I know the answer.
