[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can someone help me understand impeachment? Or tell me if my understanding is correct, please?

I was not alive for the Clinton impeachment, so the only experience I have with Presidents being impeached is Trump, and well, nothing comes from it, soooo.

Here's my understanding: articles of impeachment are brought forward, there's a House vote & if passed, it goes to the Senate & if passed, the President goes on trial by the SCOTUS who must find the President guilty to get him removed. Is that correct?

So, is bringing forth articles of impeachment simply a way to get an * or new section on your Wiki page that you tried to do something to stop the madness? Because Republicans control the House & Senate, so obviously it'll never pass.

I know it is probably my youth, but the word impeachment is used so much these days that it means nothing. He's been impeached twice, so what's it matter if he gets impeached a third time, ya know?  [/quote]

Yup. I understand some Democrats are trying to officially record their disapproval for the history books. That is important, for future generations' edification.

But it's an abstract exercise. It won't bring about a removal from office.
