UA Law Professor: Trump Can Be Convicted Out of Office

       A law professor at The University of Alabama Law School is among some 150 law scholars who signed a letter saying former president Trump can be impeached and convicted, even out of office.

     Politico obtained a copy of the letter and the list of people who signed it, including UA professor Heather Elliott.

"More than 150 legal scholars signed on to the letter, which was obtained by POLITICO. They include Steven Calabresi, the co-founder of the Federalist Society; Charles Fried, who served as solicitor general under Ronald Reagan and is now an adviser to the Harvard chapter of the Federalist Society; Ilya Somin, a law professor at George Mason University and adjunct scholar at the libertarian Cato Institute; and Brian Kalt, a law professor at Michigan State University and leading scholar on the specific question of whether former officials can be impeached."
