The Daily Signal - Here’s What Might Happen If Senate Opts to Hold 2nd Impeachment Trial
President Donald Trump on Wednesday became the first president to be impeached a second time. The House voted 232 to 197 to impeach the president, with 10 Republican members joining all of the Democrats.
President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration is less than a week away, which doesn’t give the Senate enough time to hold a trial before Trump’s term expires. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., says that if a Senate trial is to take place, it will occur after Trump leaves office.
Fred Lucas—The Daily Signal’s chief national affairs correspondent, co-host of "The Right Side of History" podcast, and author of the book "Abuse of Power: Inside The Three-Year Campaign to Impeach Donald Trump"—joins the show to explain what precedent exists for holding an impeachment trial after an individual has left office, and what the likely outcome of that Senate trial would be.
We also cover these stories:
- Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., says it’s not within the Senate’s purview to hold an impeachment trial after Trump leaves office.
- Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi proposes a new House rule to fine members $5,000 if they don’t follow new security protocols.
- Nike announces that it won’t donate to the campaigns of politicians who wanted to decertify the 2020 election results.

Back Bar - Noble Experiments
The story of American prohibition: temperance, scapegoating, hypocrisy and their unlikely love child the Margarita.
It’s 1920 and alcohol is now constitutionally illegal in the United States. This week we look at the dark forces that got us there, what happened when Americans couldn’t drink and how the noble experiment eventually collapsed thirteen years later. We also look at the Margarita, a curious creation that was born south of the border that found its way north in the 20th century. Guests this week are Derek Brown from the Columbia Room in Washington, DC and David Suro-Piňera of Siembra Azul.
