“The Constitution talks about conviction, and removal, and disqualification from holding further public office. I don’t think anybody would seriously argue that we should establish a precedent where every president on the way out the door, has two weeks, or three weeks, or four weeks, to try to incite an armed insurrection against the union or organize a coup against the union and, if it succeeds, he becomes a dictator, and if he fails, he’s not subject to impeachment or conviction because we just want to let bygones be bygones,” Raskin explained to CNN’s Jake Tapper.
