If Impeachment Proceedings Are Initiated Against A President Are....

[global1]

the Presidents powers frozen until it is determined that the President would or would not ultimately be impeached?

The reason I'm asking and what I'm most concerned with are the Commander In Chief's powers to initiate a war.

Tillerson is threatening NK with a pre-emptive strike just as there is this big intelligence meeting scheduled for Monday. Let's say Comey tells Congress that Trump is involved up to his ears with the Russians and Congress moves on impeachment. Would Trump be able to attack NK as a diversion without challenge because he is still the president or would his powers be put on hold until the impeachment is finally decided with a vote? Or would the Repugs just put a full court press on Trump to immediately resign?

Also - whete does Trump keep his Trump plane now that he has the ability to use AF 1?

2. Innocent until PROVEN guity

But more difficult to convince his cohorts

3. No, but under the 25th amendment, he could be immediately relieved by the VP and a Cabinet majority

And sustaining that removal would require a 2/3 majority in each house, should the president assert that he is competent to resume his duties.

Were Congress to sustain Trump's removal, Pence would serve as president for the remainder of the term.
