Do you think impeachment of Trump now will serve any purpose?

Asked by crazyguy (3207points) January 10th, 2021

The one purpose that makes some sense is to ban him from office for the rest of his life. I tried to find out whether a censure motion can include such language but have not been able to find out.

Other than that, I can see several negatives to impeachment:

1. It will further divide the country, where Biden’s stated objective is to try and unite the country.
2. Perhaps it leaves the country more secure when the President is removed; but how about the days it takes for the process to play out?
3. The Senate is obliged to hold a trial. When it does, it will take important time away from confirmation of Biden’s cabinet choices.

What do you think?
