(Carlos Barria/Reuters)Opinion writerHouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has surmised that polls showing overwhelming opposition to President Trump’s impeachment may reflect a misunderstanding as to what “impeachment” means. They think if you get impeached, you’re gone, and that is completely not true.”In fact we’ve never removed a president after impeachment and trial in the Senate. In particular she should stress that McConnell has disabled the constitutional process by rendering his verdict before trial. This is not a process explicitly laid out in the Constitution, but this Senate has corrupted the impeachment process. The House therefore must act as a finder of fact, reaffirm our constitutional norms and tee up the case for post-presidential trial.
