Exiled in Mind

9. The history we're watching today sets a fundamental precedence

It is now part of the Democratic legal rules of Congress from now on that Presidents can be impeached and convicted after leaving office. It may seem a small victory right now, but in reality it is of immense importance. Any future mobster will think twice about running for office for personal lucre and power because Presidential immunity will not extend to post presidency. Even if immunity is in place during the presidency the attention to every last detail of their lives as President will assure conviction after they leave office.

That is no small thing.
