[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um, no.  He was impeached.  Impeachment happens in the house.

The articles of impeachment then move to the senate, where a trial is held.  They held a trial.  In the end, he did not lose his job.[/quote]

THANK YOU. Bill Clinton was impeached by the House but not convicted by the Senate, so he did not leave office.

But this is virtually irrelevant in Trump's case, because if it gets bad enough that this House has the votes to impeach him, [b]this Senate will absolutely convict him.[/quote][/b]

And you base this on what? An impulse? Wishful thinking? A bee in your bonnet? [/quote]

Based on the number of votes needed to impeach in the House and convict in the Senate, and also based upon the current political composition of each. If whatever Trump has done or will do is bad enough to get a simple majority vote for impeachment in the House, which contains a much larger majority of Republicans than the Senate and has many more actual Trump supporters, I think getting a 2/3 vote for conviction in the Senate, which is more evenly divided and has many more Republicans who are NOT fans of Trump, is likely.[/quote]
