Prove it. Show me evidence they can reverse an impeachment decision of a previous Congress. Iāll wait patiently as I know its going to take some time
As expected youāve still failed in providing absolutely anything to prove that. Not even the partisan talking heads are floating it as a possibility much less legal scholars. Your unsubstantiated opinion is noted though
What is it Iām supposed to provide other than the simple fact that the Constitution gives sole authority to the house over impeachments?
They have that power if they choose to exercise it.
Iāve also pointed out that acts of a sitting congress do not bind the hands of a future congress which is long established in the courts.
And thereās no guarantee they wouldnāt. The problem is partly legal, partly political. Courts have long held that Congress cannot ābindā future Congressesāthat is, it canāt force a future session of Congress to carry on its own policies. That practice, formally known as ālegislative entrenchment,ā is seen as privileging one group of lawmakers over another, ābindingā future to the priorities set in the present. In the 1996 case U.S. v. Winstar Corp., Justice David Souter quoted the British jurist William Blackstone, who said that āthe legislature, being in truth the sovereign power, is always of equal, always of absolute authority: it acknowledges no superior upon earth, which the prior legislature must have been, if itās [sic] ordinances could bind the present parliament.ā The principle is more complicated in the United States, where the government is bound by the Constitution and any private contracts into which it enters. But as a general rule, any Congress can reverse the decisions of any past Congress. For example, Bob Dole repealed future tax cuts in the 1980s.
