Bill of Attainder

Basically, it is the legislature declaring somebody guilty without the benefit of a trial.

Someone on the following link, (a blog )commented that the Trump situation is almost like one of these bills.

But no law has been passed.  There is no "bill".  However, there are a lot of threats of impeachment if Trump were to do this or that.  For example, Sen. Graham said that if Trump fired Mueller, it would be the beginning of the end of his presidency.  This past week, Sen. Schumer threatened Trump not
to pardon Manafort or Cohen.

It really does seem to be the case that the ruling class has unofficially declared Trump to be illegal, and is looking to try to make this seem legal so as to maintain the appearance of rule of law.

It isn't just the Democrats.  There are those on the GOP side that will not allow Trump to do his job.
