Cassidy and five of his Republican colleagues voted that the trial is constitutional on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We heard arguments from both sides on the constitutionality of having a Senate trial of a president who has since left office,&#8221; Cassidy said. &#8220;A sufficient amount of evidence of constitutionality exists for the Senate to proceed with the trial. This vote is not a prejudgment on the final vote to convict.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If anyone disagrees with my vote and would like an explanation, I ask them to listen to the arguments presented by the House Managers and former President Trump\u2019s lawyers,&#8221; Cassidy added. &#8220;The House managers had much stronger constitutional arguments. The president\u2019s team did not.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"und\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/PyrD9AtGge\">pic.twitter.com\/PyrD9AtGge<\/a><\/p>&mdash; U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (@SenBillCassidy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenBillCassidy\/status\/1359272741757739008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 9, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Republicans who agreed the Senate can try Trump are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sen.
