Trump Allies Discuss Resolution To Void President’s Two Impeachments

Interest reportedly intensified after the Trump administration declassified materials related to the investigation surrounding Trump’s first impeachment.

Conservative journalist John Solomon and attorney Alan Dershowitz have argued that newly released information undermines key witnesses and could justify congressional action.

“I don’t see any reason why it couldn’t be done,” Dershowitz said in comments later shared by Trump on social media.

Dershowitz has also acknowledged uncertainty about whether Congress possesses such authority.

“Nobody knows the answer,” he said.

Other legal scholars strongly disagree.

Michael Gerhardt, a constitutional law professor at the University of North Carolina, dismissed the proposal as legally baseless.

“It’s an absurd idea,” Gerhardt said. “It’s in the history books.”

“Historically, nobody thought that Congress had this power, because Congress doesn’t have this power,” he added.

Supporters argue that a resolution would serve as a formal statement that the impeachments were politically motivated and should not stand as part of Trump’s legacy.
