I suspect they either asked Roberts privately & didn't like his answer, or didn't want to leave it to him. In either case, I think it properly his decision, not the Senate's. https://twitter.com/foster_type/status/1353802474977710082 …

Constitution refers to "when the President of the United States is tried", not when impeached. So makes sense to me on a plain reading of the text that Roberts wouldn't preside here. If the trial had started last week, then I'd agree.

So, question: is it possible Roberts is avoiding this because he thinks the question of whether you can convict a president that's already left office will eventually be before the Supreme Court

Not to mention the only reason the CJ presides in a Presidential impeachment trial is because the framers were worried that the VP would screw over the President on purpose
