- masfuerte 9mo agoThe problem is that Trump is ignoring the law and nobody is doing anything about it. If the Democrats take the House they can impeach him.
- lateforwork 9mo agoImpeachment does not do anything. He has been twice impeached in his first term.
- masfuerte 9mo agoYes, the Democrats need to take the Senate too. And they will if the voters want it.
- lateforwork 9mo agoTwo-thirds of the senate required to convict, which is unlikely.
- selectodude 9mo agoImpossible. There aren't enough open seats to get to 67 in the Senate.
- krapp 9mo ago> If the Democrats take the House they can impeach him. Are we thinking third time's the charm? Maybe we should stop pretending that impeachment matters. It clearly doesn't.
- dragonwriter 9mo agoThey have already done that as many times to Trump as have been done to all other Presidents in US history combined; without conviction and removal, which requires a 2/3 supermajority in the Senate, impeachment has proven to be an ineffective constraint on Trump.
- palmotea 9mo ago> If the Democrats take the House they can impeach him. So? They've literally done that twice before, and what did it accomplish? They fired that bullet and missed, trying to jam it back in the gun to take another shot isn't going to work.
