Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) maintains the impeachment of Donald Trump is unconstitutional. She spoke to One America News and said the idea should be a consensus, especially when Chief Justice John Roberts said it would be unconstitutional for him to preside over the trial.<\/p>\n<p>Blackburn said if the Senate impeaches President Trump now that he&#8217;s out of office, she believes it will open the door for the impeachment of former civil officers whose actions are disliked by political opponents. Blackburn warned its a slippery slope that could come back to hurt Democrats and their allies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You could say, &#8216;Bill Clinton let&#8217;s bring him back and take him for a trial,&#8217;&#8221; Blackburn noted. &#8220;You could say, &#8216;Hillary Clinton &#8212; Secretary of State with the Uranium One deal,&#8217; let&#8217;s revisit that. After Joe Biden leaves there could be an impeachment of him. We could call back Jim Comey or Strozk or Page.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">To persist with impeachment now, with just days to go in the current administration, will further divide Americans and exacerbate tensions.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Sen.
