Democrats have acted in total disgrace here, but this is their pathetic way. They haven’t followed due process. Showed selective edited video. Decided to change the actual legal definition of Inciting. But the trial itself is unconstitutional, there is a Democrat Senator, Patrick Leahy, who is a “Judge and juror”, he gets to vote as well.
Impeachment power is being abused and incorrectly applied. The text in the Constitution is explicit, the impeachment clause is for the sitting President, not a former. The fact that the Supreme Court Chief Justice refused to preside over this sham of an impeachment trial suggests he did so because it’s not Constitutional.

Then what actions should be taken against a President, who at the time of their alleged offence was still the office holder?
Doing nothing appears not to be an option, if for no other reason than to prevent it happening again.
