TRUMPEACHED
(TRUMP-eached)

That would almost be fun to see. I wonder how long it would take to clean up the mess they made.
It's good to remember that impeachment is simply bringing charges against a sitting president. Then the process moves to the Senate which would hold the trial. Conviction by the Senate is required to affect the presidency. So far, two presidents have been impeached. However, neither was tried by the Senate and neither left office as a result.

That would be in keeping with the circus it is at the moment. Laughing stock.

Andrew Johnson was tried in the Senate, as was Bill Clinton. However, neither was convicted. President Johnson survived by one vote; President Clinton survived by a tie vote on one charge, and an outright acquittal on the second.

It’ll be nice to see TRAMPO get impeached by the House for a REAL crime, not just lying about getting a Blow Job!!!
The senate will have to trash the constitution and look the other way to save him from impeaching for REAL crimes.
It’ll be a sham of a shame!!!

Actually lying under oath was more like it. That is subornation of perjury.

Nothing will ever be as satisfying as Angry Johnny humiliation at the ballot box. No one wants to endure tweets from a self-pitying sidelines martyr until the day he carks it.

Will it be nice? I remember when Bill Clinton was impeached (and got away with perjury). What a circus that was and a huge distraction. We don't need another one. If it does happen I think it will only further polarize the country. If he's not found guilty democrats won't believe it and won't let it go. If he is I don't see republicans letting it go. We have some huge issues that go far beyond continually taking shots at a president.
The time is and has been ripe for a democrat to step up and show some leadership. No typical finger pointing politician but a solid leader. They're blowing it. There has to be somebody.

OK
Quote:

Pence can pardon him on federal crimes, not impeachment.
Further, the VP appointment would require Senate approval, which means the people who just voted to oust him, would have to vote to make him VP.
Quote:
Pence resigns, Trump becomes President and appoints Pence as his Vice President.
What, in God's name, would motivate Pence to resign?

Removal requires a 2/3rd votes, so the 50/50 vote was an outright acquittal as well. And note that there were bipartisan votes to acquit for both charges.
I guess we will find out
But it seems obstruction will be a good opener

A two thirds majority vote is required in the Senate to remove a president from office. In Clinton’s case, 67 votes to convict were required to remove Clinton from the presidency. The 50 votes to convict Clinton on one of the charges fell 17 votes shy of the required 67 votes. Clinton was therefore acquitted on both charges.
In Johnson’s case, the vote to convict was 35-19 (27 states eligible to vote as the Confederate states Dad not been readmiited to the senate at the time of the vote). A 2/3rd majority was required to convict so Johnson avoided conviction by one vote.
