Original Note:
The Senate debated the Constitutionality of the trial and found it to be Constitutional: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56005458 https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/09/us/politics/trump-impeachment-trial-senate.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2021/02/09/trump-impeachment-trial-sides-debate-if-trial-constitutional/4422669001/ Roberts is not presiding over the trial because Trump is no longer President, and it does not trigger the requirement that Roberts preside. Leahy is following Roberts' script: https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/politics/leahy-john-roberts-rehnquist-impeachment/index.html
