The constitution bars President Biden from interfering in the trial of ex-president Trump.

The constitution gave that power only to the Legislative branch. The founders never intended that a president should escape trial for crimes committed while in office by simply having his term in office expire.

Wishful dreaming?

Tell that to FoxNews...they're blathering that there won't be any unity unless Biden calls off the Senate impeachment trial.

First there has to be a crime. The impeachment violates the US Constitution if the Articles of Impeachment does not include an alleged violation of the law.
Second, a constitutional impeachment and conviction can only lead to the removal from office. Since Trump has already left office any vote by the Senate now is moot and completely meaningless.

Fox News talking heads are morons. There will never be any unity with Dixiecrat Biden or any anti-American leftist filth.

I don't think there is a precedent. It will probably need to be decided (interpreted) by the Supreme Court.

I believe the "Dixiecrats are all now Trump supporters and Republicans.

They intended the President be removed if convicted. I hate to have to inform you, he is already gone.

In your mind, what do these words mean:
"and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States"

They seem to be a regularly formed bit of English.

Then you have a very mistaken belief indeed. Every Dixiecrat has been, and remains, a Democrat. There was only one Dixiecrat that switched parties and became a Republican, and his name was Strom Thurmond.

All the remaining Dixiecrats, including President Biden, remained devote anti-American Democrat bigotted scum until the day they died.

Yes. That is why we have the Supreme Court to rule on the intent. Otherwise the constitution would have been an 8000 page monstrosity and now useless.

Article I, Section 3, Clause 7 provides that the sanctions for an impeached and convicted individual are limited to removal from office and potentially a bar from holding future office

Yeah, Democrat 'filth' and 'scum'... And Trump's retweet of 'the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat'..

Can't imagine why there won't be any unity with the Trumpsters..

Biden may be barred from interfering in the impeachment or the trail but he is not barred from expressing an opinion, we call that "free speech". His public opinion could possibly carry weight in any decisions made and of course the final word would lie with the President since he has the ultimate power to pardon.

The big question right now is going to be can you try the former President in the impeachment trial if he is not in office?

I think we have seen enough of the Executive interfering in the prerogative of the other branches lately.

ROFL! Consider the source. Ron Elving is a hardcore leftist and a complete moron. Notice how he never names a single Dixiecrat, or cite any of them becoming Republican. Why is that?

If all of these Dixiecrat bigots became Republicans then name them. Other than Strom Thurmond, you can't. Because no Dixiecrat (save one) became a Republican. All you, Ron Elving, and leftist filth have are deliberate lies. We know the reality, and the reality is that Democrats have always been, and continues to be, the biggest bigots in the US by far.

"High crimes and misdemeanors" is what the Constitution says are grounds for impeachment. Impeachment and conviction of Trump will lead to a revocation of his pension and travel allowances and a ban on his holding public office ever again. There is no reason he cannot be impeached now for those reasons.

Democrats in the South were mostly segregationists before the Civil Rights Act of 1964. However, after 1964, most of them accepted and welcomed black voters. The segregationists who did not switched parties and became Republicans. A prime example was the late Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, in 1964.
When I was growing up in South Carolina, I heard many such Republicans saying "we did not leave Democratic Party;, the Democratic Party left us." In this context, you don’t need a doctorate in political science to interpret "Democratic Party left us." They meant that the Democratic Party accepted the change from being a party that excluded blacks to become a party of inclusion.

Those words mean "Yes" to you?
And we need the SCotUS ruling to determine what "and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States" means?

A review of the history of each past president should be explored to determine which ones should retroactively be impreached and removed from office.
