The House made a monumental vote to impeach Trump for his role in the deadly Capitol riot, but with only a week left in Trump's term, questions remain around how Congress could disqualify him from ever running for office again and strip him of his ability to pardon. Corey Brettschneider, a political science professor at Brown University with a specialty in constitutional law, explains on "Salon Talks" how Trump's second impeachment would play out, the role of the 14th and 25th Amendments and why local and state governments could be part of the next chapter of legal difficulties for Trump.

"What's really at stake here is the defense of democracy itself," Brettschneider said. "We don't want to allow this guy to come back from the dead, to come back to life as a political candidate. He could do enormous damage even running for office. That's why I'm focused on seeing this Senate trial happen."
