This just does not seem politically realistic to me. You cannot expect the general public to accept as legitimate the removal of a sitting president by a secret vote. Especially when premised on the idea that you’ll allow Republicans to vote to convict without publicly admitting it.

Like, the only way a secret ballot makes a difference is if you have a bunch of Republican senators who politically need to feign loyalty to Trump but in private will do the right thing. But then the secret tally isn’t going to track what legislators are saying publicly. That’s… a problem!
