Former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder has suggested that lawmakers should not be dissuaded from annulling President Trump's presidency, even if he is re-elected, but then convicted.

Speaking on MSNBC's show, Holder said, "The notion that you could have a trial, defend it, be convicted, somehow win the election, be sworn in as president, or whenever it happens, that seems inconsistent with our notion of fairness, of the rule of law." He added, "At that point, I would hope that an impeachment proceeding might be considered. Not only considered, brought. And, ultimately, he would be removed from office."

Holder's proposal to terminate Trump's prospective second term may have something to do with the failure to kneecap his campaign. Trump leads Biden in the polls and refuses to stand down, even if convicted. He stated this before a crowd of over 3,500 in Columbus, Georgia, saying, "Biden is trying to jail his leading political opponent … just like they do in Stalinist Russia or in communist China. I've put everything on the line for you, and I will never yield."

Holder appeared to precook the Democratic narrative in the event of a conviction, stressing, "The notion that a convicted felon, convicted felon, would serve as president of the United States is absurd. It's simply absurd."

However, the Washington Post reported that Trump would not be barred from running for President from prison or as a convicted felon. For instance, Social Party candidate Eugene V. Debs ran for President in 1920 from prison. A candidate need only be a natural-born U.S. citizen, a resident for at least 14 years, and over 35. While Trump can run and win, the Senate could conceivably reject the people's will through impeachment.

To impeach a President, lawmakers must make a case showing he has committed "treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors." In Trump's case, the House, currently controlled by Republicans, would have to vote on whether to impeach. If a majority in Congress votes in favor of pressing charges, the Senate must consider them at a trial, with the House prosecuting the case. Two-thirds of the senators must agree to convict; otherwise, the President would be acquitted.

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa) indicated Monday that a Ukrainian energy company executive involved in the alleged Biden bribery scheme has secret audio recordings of Hunter Biden and Joe Biden. According to Holder, in light of this claim and Biden's alleged mishandling of classified documents, the only options available to voters in November 2024 may be absurd.
