The impeached Trump last month with all Democrats in favor and all but 10 Republicans against.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump may assert that this impeachment reflects \u2018cancel culture\u2019 or some supposed intolerance of his right to voice objections to the election results. That would be a red herring. President Trump endangered the very constitutional system that protects all other rights, including freedom of expression,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/judiciary.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/house_trial_brief_final.pdf\">brief<\/a> says. \u201cIt would be perverse to suggest that our shared commitment to free speech requires the Senate to ignore the obvious: that President Trump is singularly responsible for the violence and destruction that unfolded in our seat of government on January 6.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of Republicans in the Senate have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dead-on-arrival-45-republican-senators-vote-to-dismiss-second-trump-impeachment-as-unconstitutional\">signaled<\/a> that they will resist convicting Trump on the grounds that they believe the impeachment trial against him is unconstitutional because he is no longer a \u201csitting president.\u201d The House managers plan to argue that the Senate has jurisdiction in the case because Trump was impeached while in office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump is personally responsible for inciting an armed attack on our seat of government that imperiled the lives of the Vice President, Members of Congress and our families, and those who staff and serve the Legislative Branch,\u201d the brief says. \u201cIf the Senate does not try President Trump (and convict him) it risks declaring to all future Presidents that there will be no consequences, no accountability, indeed no Congressional response at all if they violate their Oath to \u2018preserve, protect and defend the Constitution\u2019 in their final weeks \u2014 and instead provoke lethal violence in a lawless effort to retain power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The managers go on to argue that, while Trump cannot be removed from office, his conviction is necessary to bar him from ever holding public office in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s incitement of insurrection requires his conviction and disqualification from future federal officeholding,\u201d the brief says. \u201cThis is not a case where elections alone are a sufficient safeguard against future abuse; it is the electoral process itself that President Trump attacked and that must be protected from him and anyone else who would seek to mimic his behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump gave a speech before a crowd of supporters prior to the riot at the Capitol in which he urged protesters to \u201cpeacefully\u201d march to the Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/just-in-trump-reacts-to-impeachment-effort-denounces-violence\">said<\/a> at the time. \u201cToday, we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
