Grab a constitution and read up (no slight to you intended)

The trial portion takes place in the Senate with the Cnhief Justice presiding. All the House does is vote to approve impeachment.

If planned right, the Senate will be *forced* to hold a trial; you have to impeach him to find out the charges.

It’s what they do.

Sorry Cletus, but I think there has to be some kind of grounds for the impeachment and those grounds must have substance. You can’t impeach a president on the grounds that he jay walked. It does not rise and cannot rise to the level of high crimes and misdemeanors. The Senate will find him either guilty or innocent of whatever high crimes or misdemeanors the House says he committed.

The problem with what I think I hear you saying is that both political parties would be impeaching each others presidents every time they got into office. I know, I know, it kinda seems like we are in the tit for tat game right now, but this time it’s because the evil ones are caught and are about to be washed up and hung out to dry.
