No, until Jones is not sworn in, the current Senator L. Strange will have aright to vote. Actually Mr. Jones will be a Senator for only two years and will face reelections in less than 24 months

Here’s the New York Times story on the Senate voting to require women to register for the draft: Senate Votes to Require Women to Register for the DraftHere’s a paragraph of interest in the story:The shift, while fiercely opposed by some conservative lawmakers and interest groups, had surprisingly broad support among Republican leaders and women in both parties.The operative parts are bolded: The opposition came from conservative lawmakers — particularly from noted radical feminist ideologue Ted Cruz — and was supported by women of both parties. Women in the Senate — and most women in the Senate are Democrats, many of whom are quite liberal — generally supported requiring women to register for the draft.Duncan Hunter, who introduced the House version, actually doesn’t support requiring women to register, but included the amendment to make a point — thinking liberal members would vote it down and get caught looking hypocritical — only to have it backfire on him when liberals actually … voted in favor of the requirement. (Hunter introduced the language, thinking it’d go down, and then ended up voting against his own amendment because he submitted it as a honey trap but didn’t actually support it and got caught looking sheepish when it actually gained support.)Most feminists I know would prefer that there not be a draft, period, for men or women. As in, the answer is not to also force women to register for the draft, but to get rid of the draft entirely. However, while the draft is still in force, yes, it’s only fair if women are also required to register. And it’s disingenuous to act like opposition to women registering for the draft comes from feminists — as the Times story noted, most opposition came from the right end of the political spectrum, not the left. These same lawmakers and think tanks also oppose allowing women to have combat roles in the military, something most feminists support.That is to say, this question is better aimed at Ted Cruz and his ideological compatriots and not at feminists.

No.A federal judge named Walter Nixon was impeached, convicted and removed in the 1990s. He thought there was something wrong with the procedures used to try his impeachment, and he appealed the conviction.The Supreme Court ruled[1] that the phrase in the Constitution (In Article I, Section 3) where it says :The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.that means that even the Supreme Court does not have the authority to overrule or overturn the verdict.Thanks for asking, Thomas L. Johnson .Q: In the unlikely event that the Senate should vote to convict Donald J. Trump, would the Supreme Court be able to overturn that conviction?Footnotes[1] Walter L. NIXON, Petitioner v.
