Blunt Says Impeachment Unconstitutional

Missouri U.S. Senator Roy Blunt asserts the effort to impeach former President Donald Trump is unconstitutional. Blunt was one of the 45 Republican senators who voted for a measure declaring the House effort to impeach Trump fell outside of its constitutional powers. . .

Five Republicans joined the 50 Democrats in the US Senate to defeat the measure, but it provided a sign that the votes might not be there to convict Trump of inciting violence against the United States government in his speech prior to the January 6th Capitol riot.
