This specific charge is bull shit but I think they voted correctly. The senate should have jurisdiction to impeach a former president.
If he had actually committed a crime, I would damn sure hope they can impeach him. It will probably get thrown right back in their faces when their crimes come out.
They have no constitutional jurisdiction on a private citizen. it is all DS BS.
Let's say Joe biden's child sex tape comes out and he resigns immediately. You are saying he should not be impeached?

I’m not OP, but I would be fine with that. He’s already resigned so impeachment would be a waste of time and money.
I think the criminal justice system would be a more appropriate venue, and be able to assess more meaningful consequences.
He should be imprisoned for child abuse/pedophilia.
Impeachment is to remove a sitting President, nothing more, If he is out of Office Impeachment is a mute point. with Biden in the scenario you brought forth, impeachment not needed and charge him as a private citizen.
How about just charge him if he committed a crime? If the crime was serious enough, he will be in prison unable to run for election.
This definitely opens the door up to impeaching every past president they dont like. It's a crime to have slaves...Washington had slaves (sure it wasnt illegal then but that doesnt matter to retarded leftists) so let's impeach him.

Are you okay with impeaching Carter now for the Iran hostage situation? Are you okay impeaching Bush2 now for invading Iraq over bogus WMDs? How about Hussein over Fast & Furious, or cash to Iran, or etc., etc.
Or should we rely on the civil and criminal justice system? Or the military justice system?
Is this impeachment really that much more important than the other problems those Senators could be addressing?
Are you fucking retarded?
He would be arrested after being president by the appropriate authorities not a fucking impeachment trial at the senate and it should be the chief justice you fucking moron
