WASHINGTON — Forty-five Republican Senators on Tuesday voted that former
President Donald Trump’s upcoming impeachment trial is unconstitutional,
suggesting that he will almost certainly be acquitted for a second time.

GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky forced a Senate vote on a motion to dismiss
the trial, arguing the impeachment proceedings would be unconstitutional
since Trump is now a private citizen.

The vast majority of Republicans in the upper chamber, 45 of them, agreed,
including Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who has criticized
Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 siege on the US Capitol that he is accused
of inciting.

The Senate requires a two-thirds majority to convict, meaning 17
Republicans would need to vote with Democrats — a seemingly unlikely
outcome as the Tuesday day vote indicates.

Just five Republican Senators broke with their party on Tuesday afternoon
and voted with Democrats to allow President Trump’s impeachment trial to
proceed, but the Paul measure was still blocked on a 55-45 vote.

GOP Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Susan Collins of
Maine, Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, who is
serving his last term, crossed the aisle.

Romney was the only Republican to vote to convict Trump on the abuse of
power charge during his previous impeachment trial.

Ten GOP lawmakers also sided with Democrats to impeach Trump in the House
in a 232-197 vote on Jan. 13.

Despite the motion being blocked, Republicans are considering Tuesday’s
defeat a victory.

If less than 34 lawmakers sided with Paul, it would have suggested that
Trump may have been convicted, but he easily reached that threshold.

Paul told reporters that the vote meant the impeachment trial would be
“dead on arrival.”

In a fiery speech on the Senate floor Tuesday, Paul said Democrats’ calls
for unity were hollow and that the impeachment of a former president and
private citizen were “the antithesis of unity.”

“Private citizens don’t get impeached; impeachment is for removal from
office. And the accused here has already left office,” Paul said.

“Hyper-partisan Democrats are about to drag our great country down into
the gutter of rancor and vitriol the likes of which has never been seen in
our nation’s history,” he went on.

All 100 Senators were sworn-in on Tuesday afternoon as jurors in Trump’s
second impeachment trial which will be overseen by Democratic Sen. Patrick
Leahy of Vermont and not Supreme Court Justice John Roberts since Trump is
no longer president.

Time to boycott all the ROMNEY businesses and any investments he may
have a large holding in.... he's hating TRUMP more than he's loving the
United States. Romney doesn't belong in an office of great power... It
may even be time real soon to boycott UTAH businesses and their State
until they get rid of Romney... If he doesn't leave for the good of the
people.
