Dems’ Impeachment Manager Unable to Cite Constitutional Basis for Impeaching Ex-Presidents

EXCERPT:

DE GETTE: "The precedent is clear but also the reason is, you can’t just say, OK, if you are president, you can just do anything you want the last few weeks of your presidency with no consequence because then you couldn’t be tried. That’s not a good result. And -- and of course, the most -- the most telling example that you could see is what just happened where you have a president who incites a crowd to go and try I to stop the certification of a legitimate election. You can’t just say, oh, no, now you left office. So no harm, no foul — that’s not the way it works."
