How are people surprised that a Senator could preside over an impeachment trial, while also voting in it? That has happened in every impeachment of a judge or Cabinet member ever. It is precisely how the constitutional process is designed.

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 …

And yet, as more and more "unserious" arguments emerge, it's almost like actual constitutional issues are not the point.

Wait, why would he have become President instead of Colfax? Was the order of succession different then?

Yes it was.

I wish he *had* become president, but he shouldn't have voted.

Unfortunately for his chances, Chase hated him. Intra-state intra-GOP blood feuds are not new. I wish they had impeached Johnson on grounds that were not flagrantly unconstitutional.
