? for DU legal eagles

Can a president who has been impeached or removed from office via re-election, be convicted of a felony in state courts? I'm sure you know where I'm going here. He could not be pardoned by another president, because it would be on the state level. Question is, has such a thing ever happened, and is it constitutional?

Will Pitts ninja lawyers will get right on it.

What? How does being reelected remove someone from office?  :stoner: :stoner:

Unfortunately for the DUmmie, no one has even remotely suggested that Trump has committed any crimes, state or federal.  :-)

Now Barry Banana Republic Obama OTOH.   :whistling:  He might just find his jug eared butt in a sling over any of several questionable former actions.

This is possible when the sun and  the moon align with uranus, on the 31st of February. Refer to page 2 of the 21st amendment.

I'm hoping that in Obama's future the answer to that question will be made known to us.
