Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) says that convicting a former president on an Impeachment charge would set a bad precedent moving forward.

Ducey noted that “the Senate’s going to do what the Senate’s going to do” concerning the Impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. However, he does not believe that holding an Impeachment trial of a former president will be good for the country.

However, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said, “Some of my Republican colleagues have latched onto a fringe legal theory that the Senate does not have the constitutional power to hold a trial because Donald Trump is no longer in office.”

“This argument has been roundly debunked by constitutional scholars from the left, right, and center. It defies precedent, historic practice, and basic common sense,” he added.
