and there was even an impeachment, in which he was acquitted.
IAW the 14th, only congress has the power to remove a candidate for reasons pertaining to the 14th. SCOTUS does not even need to weigh in on this other than to tell CO, and ME, that their actions violate the constitution.
Exactly. No need to weigh in on "did he" or "didn't he." All SCOTUS has to say is that states lack jurisdiction in this matter per the US Constitution.
a few times.... its called impeachment.... Pres Johnson, Pres Clinton, Pres. Trump.... all impeached.... none removed...... now the pending impeachments of Tyler and Nixon, ""may"" have ended up with removals, but we will never know.
Impeachment is purely a political exercise, and has nothing to do with our Justice System. You impeach and remove someone from office so they can be indicted and tried by the courts.
I did not say they were not allowed to vote. I am saying they voted against the certification of Electoral College results.
So what? They are Constitutionally allowed to do so. The same thing happened in 2016:
Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) objected to Alabama's votes.
Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) objected to Florida's votes.
Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) objected to Georgia's votes.
Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) objected to North Carolina's votes.
Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) objected to the votes from North Carolina in addition to votes from South Carolina and Wisconsin. She also stood up and objected citing "massive voter suppression" after Mississippi's votes were announced.
Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) brought up allegations of Russian interference in the election and malfunctioning voting machines when she objected following the announcement of Michigan's votes.
Maxine Waters (D-Calif) rose and said, "I do not wish to debate. I wish to ask 'Is there one United States senator who will join me in this letter of objection?'" after the announcement of Wyoming's votes.

and when ever is a vote 100%, of course there was some condescending votes...always is... unless you hate democracy, and think they should all be robots of one mind
