And sure, I'll stoop to answer the asinine question.
I'm still waiting on your answer, then. But since none will be forthcoming
NAY
I have no reason to believe the President is lying to us when he says Ben resigned, and if the President wants to appoint someone else to this position, as he has stated he is interested in doing, an impeachment is not necessary in any case.
If Ben had resigned the Supreme Court would have declined to open the vote. I wouldn't see how the President comes into play.
The fact that the Supreme Court followed the letter of the law in presiding over a vote on the articles of impeachment doesn't necessarily mean in itself that the impeachment itself is legitimate.
The President's role is that he is the executive of the Cabinet and may dismiss any member of the Cabinet as per Article II. Section 1.5.
If Ben has resigned, then why the Nay votes? You can't impeach an officer who doesn't hold the position.
Right, I can't impeach someone who doesn't hold a position, thus I vote Nay on impeaching such a person.
