Senate finds impeachment trial is constitutional, but most Republicans still disagree Jon Ward
The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday that former presidents can be convicted in an impeachment trial, even after they leave office, clearing the way for several days of arguments over whether former President Trump should be found guilty of inciting the Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol.
But notably, most Republicans voted against this motion, just as they did less than two weeks ago. It was another indication that there is little chance that more than a handful of Senate Republicans are open to finding Trump guilty and barring him from holding political office in the future, which requires a two-thirds majority of 67 votes.
