Does anyone even know what impeachment means anymore?

Senator
The new generation of political intelligentsia believes that it is a process whereby a human being is alchemy-wise changed into a peach. One tier up from that we have those who don't realize that it is not a synonym for removal from office. On the low side we have the few who know it well enough to realize that the word and even the action is nothing more than political bluster set to a slightly more formal tune.

So NP and her fellow droolheimers are going to Impeach the POTUS eh? LOL.....it's the best thing that could happen. First of all they can't do anything but waste a lot of time and call a lot of names....is that any different than what we have right now? Secondly they have to have the cooperation of the Senate to actually move for a vote to remove...ain't never gonna happen. In the process they will infuriate othewise benign voters and ensure Trump's reelection and probably a return to majorities in both houses for the GOP...

But go ahead....have fun.

This might help the people who do not really understand the process...

https://nccs.net/blogs/articles/the-impeachment-process

“While impeachment proceedings can be complex, the basic process is quite simple. An impeachment begins when an official behaves in a manner which the people believe disqualifies him from further public service. A complaint requesting an impeachment investigation of that official is lodged with the House of Representatives. That request may either be general in its scope or it may delineate specific offenses; it may be requested in a petition filed by individual citizens or on the request of a single Representative, a group of Representatives, or the President.

“The request is referred to the House Judiciary Committee which forwards it to the Subcommittee on the Constitution. The Subcommittee then investigates the complaints and, if there is merit to the charges, Articles of Impeachment describing the specific offense(s) are prepared. Those Articles are forwarded to the full Judiciary Committee for a vote. If approved, the Articles are sent to the full House for a vote.

“A simple majority of the House either approves or disapproves the Articles. If disapproved, the issue is terminated. Approval, however, is, in effect, the equivalent of a grand jury indictment against that official. The approved Articles of Impeachment are then delivered to the Senate. With this action, the House’s role in an impeachment is finished.

“The Senate, according to the process described in Article 1, Section 3, Clause 6 and 7, then becomes a courtroom for a full-scale trial, with the Senators serving as the jury. In that setting, evidence is presented both by the defendant (the impeached official) and the prosecution. A vote is then taken. If less than two-thirds of the Senators present concur in the official’s guilt, then the impeached official is acquitted and returns to the practice, responsibilities, and full privileges of his office.

“However, if two-thirds of the Senators believe the evidence proves the impeached official guilty, then the Constitution allows the Senate to impose two penalties: (1) remove the individual from that specific office, or (2) remove the individual from that office and also prohibit him from all future office-holding. This is the extent of the Senate penalty; it can withhold political positions, but it cannot impose civil or criminal penalties. (If an impeachment conviction is rendered by the Senate, a court may not overturn it; a decision by Congress on impeachment is final .) (Impeachment, by David Barton, p.11, Wallbuilders, Aledo, TX, 1996)

Like what happened when Clinton was impeached? I forget...did the democrats win the presidential in 2000 and both the house and senate? Hmmm, maybe not.

The bottom line is that it isn't as simple as that. If the accusations are more severe than getting a BJ and lying about it...then you could be wrong.

I personally am not in favor of that process in this case. For one thing it would further polarize the country. Add to that "President Pence"....:eek:
 
Clinton was impeached for perjury.....because that's all Republicans could point to on him. Lying about an affair.

Anyway, my money is on Trump resigning (like Nixon) before impeachment proceedings even get started.

So how do you propose holding the president accountable for crimes he committed?

He was charged with both perjury and obstruction. Both charges came from the civil lawsuit by Paula Jones.

Yeah, remember when democrats put together a list of a 100 dead people and accused Trump of killing them? Yeah, me neither.

How about that time that Obama lied about an investigation into Trump's place of birth and claimed to have proof that his BC was forged. Umm, yeah, didn't happen.

Or hey...did you recall when someone photo shopped a picture of Melania to make it look like she had a penis and was really a man?

You get the point. ;)
