Two points-President Trump had charges filed against him after he was officially on his way out. And Belknap was acquitted in the Senate because 45% of sitting senators didn't believe they had authority to authority to try someone ALREADY OUT OF OFFICE!!! Sound familiar? 45% of senators NOW still believe they don't have authority to try someone ALREADY OUT OF OFFICE.
Isn't that the REAL precedent?

So much Trump hatred here, you should be ashamed of yourselves. And a pretty poor understanding of history too. Jim says it's a Constitutional duty to set new precedents. i.e., he doesn't understand the Constitution which IS the precedent. Tribeca claims that Secretary Belknap was impeached after he resigned, then tried. The fact is he was impeached FIRST, then resigned, then found not guilty. John thinks the USS Belknap was name for Secretary Belknap (a general). It was named for an admiral.
