Former President Donald J. Trump asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday to keep him on the primary ballot in Colorado, appealing an explosive ruling from the state Supreme Court declaring him ineligible based on his efforts to overturn the 2020 election that culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
The move adds to the growing pressure on the U.S. Supreme Court to act, given the number of challenges to Mr. Trump’s eligibility and the need for a nationwide resolution of the question as the primaries approach.
Not only charged (articles of impeachment filed), but convicted by the House (actually impeached). Twice! The Senate chose not to remove him from office, that doesn’t mean he didn’t do it.
Just like Clinton was impeached but not removed from office. He was still found to have done what he was being impeached for by the House, the Senate chose not to remove him from office. Just because he was not removed from office, that does not make him innocent, quite the opposite.
It’s not much different than a judge sentencing someone to time already served after being found guilty.
