WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today released the following statement regarding the impeachment proceedings for former President Donald J. Trump:

“The Constitution is where I go to find answers. Unfortunately, the Constitution does not clearly answer whether a former president can be impeached and then tried by the Senate. This decision will set precedent for future Congresses in regards to impeachment, and I am clearly on the side that a former president should not be subject to impeachment. Giving the green light that future Congresses can impeach a former president would cause extreme damage to our country and the future of the presidency.”
