Negating Trump’s nominations if he is found guilty of crimes
If either through impeachment or other legal means President Trump should be found guilty of having engaged in criminal action during his term, especially with respect to federal elections, the Congress should declare all of his Presidential actions from the time of said crimes forward, including nominations and executive orders, to be annulled retroactively, on the grounds of the illegitimacy of his Presidency from that moment forward.
Why is this important?
Trump has made and can continue appointments to the courts and other executive actions until an eventual transfer of power, even if he should be found guilty later of sedition or other high crimes. In such circumstances, all of his actions Initiated after his crimes would be tainted by them and therefore must be reversed, even if they have been endorsed by other bodies, such as the Senate. If he assumed office or continued in office because of illegal activities on his part, especially regarding elections, the products of his subsequent time in office, as fruits of those activities, cannot be allowed to stand. Just as RICO laws call for forfeiture of gains obtained through organized crime, this action would call for forfeiture of political gains derived from illegal political activities.
