It's highly recommended at some point in your life to visit Yellowstone National Park. However, there is one part of the park you'll want to avoid. It's a small section known as the Zone of Death where you can hypothetically get away with murder although it's really not that simple.

Back in 2001, I wrote a long law review article exploring an abstract question: Can Congress impeach and try ex-officials for their misconduct in office? The issue of what I labeled “late impeachment” was just a hypothetical back then. It was still only a hypothetical when I wrote a book on weird presidential constitutional issues in 2012 and included a chapter on impeaching ex-presidents. Then last month … well, you know.
When it became clear that Donald Trump’s impeachment trial would not begin until after his term ended, I knew my old work would come in handy for both the House managers and Trump’s lawyers. I had concluded in my article that, on balance, the evidence solidly favored late impeachability. But late impeachment is a complicated issue, with a lot of evidence and arguments on both sides and my article tried to present all of it (it ended up being 124 pages long).
A Michigan State University law professor claims that former President Donald Trump’s legal team took him out of context when citing his work in their impeachment trial memorandum.

Donald Trump s looming impeachment trial won t be the tipping point that removes him from office, even if he is convicted Joe Biden will already have taken over.
But it does raise a question: what about all the benefits a former US president gets after leaving office?
An impeachment conviction has never happened before, so it s not certain at this stage exactly which of these benefits Mr Trump would get to keep and which he wouldn t.
