“All the ‘grownups’ tell us he can’t be impeached for various reasons like :”

Impeachment is easy. Removal from office requires a 2/3 vote to convict in the Senate. Now please provide the names of 13 democrat senators who will vote to convict.

Heck, I couldn’t name 13 REPUBICAN Senate frat boys who would vote to convict.

That doesn’t mean that the House should neglect their authority and responsibilities to protect the nation.

They tell us, sir, that we are weak;
unable to cope with so formidable an adversary.
But when shall we be stronger?
Will it be the next week, or the next year?
Will it be when we are totally disarmed,
and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house?
Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction?
Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance
by lying supinely on our backs
and hugging the delusive phantom of hope,
until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
Sir, we are not weak
if we make a proper use of those means
which the God of nature hath placed in our power.
-Patrick Henry at the Second Virginia Convention
at St. John’s Church in Richmond, Virginia on March 23,1775.-

You left out the most important reason for not impeaching: the votes are NOT there. After the Senate fails to convict, it would have the effect of adding an arrow in Barky's quiver, allowing him to prance and dance that he's "not guilty".

The nastiest card left in the deck, is a Resolution, proclaiming the sense of the Congress that the Constitution has been voided by the President's action, and it is up to the military and/or the American people to restore it. In essence, the legislative branch could simply say that the Constitutional Republic is gone, and cannot be revived because of partisan politics.

That would be the prelude to Civil War, but screw it; we are done either way. This is the LAST card available; but we are not there yet.

Wouldn't it be worth it use impeachment to publicize all the scandals that the MSM has refused to cover?
