Trump has already been impeached.

Twice.

The last time he was president.

It doesn't matter anymore.

And became a felon after that.

Shortly before becoming president for the second time.

Illegally! Amendment 13, Section 3:

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

No such vote was held. The disability was not removed. Allowing the tried and convicted insurrectionist Donald Trump to appear on any ballot for any public position, State or Federal, after he was convicted of insurrection against the United States was the beginning of the Constitutional crisis we are now mired in and all of Congress is complicit.

That isn't what he was convicted of. The charges brought that could've made this true were related to the 2023 federal indictment consisting of:

four criminal charges of conspiring to defraud the government and disenfranchise voters, and corruptly obstructing an official proceeding.

However, on November 25, 2024 Judge Tanya Chutkan dismissed the case without prejudice.

The felonies he was convicted for were related to the March 2023 state indictment "The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump" which consisted of:

34 criminal charges of falsifying business records in the first degree related to payments made to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

At no point has he been convicted of having:

engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

He was convicted of being a fraudster, con-man, liar and sex pest but not for being an insurrectionist. This isn't a "illegal" problem, it's a classic case of dual tier justice and the consequences thereof. The justice system is beyond fucked, and has been for a long time. Solutions will not be coming from that line of reasoning.

And winning the popular vote this time.

Allegedly

I haven't seen any credible allegation to the contrary, and it's in line with pre election polling...
