Bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia is an impeachable offense.

That said, it's a bad idea unless there are 67 votes in the Senate.

Whether the President is impeachable and whether he should be impeached are separate questions.

Ryan obviously got the first question wrong. Zero's executive orders are an excellent cause on which to impeach and remove him. It's just that it isn't worth the trouble unless the removal can actually happen! For the first time in the history of the Republic!

Ryan understands the political order of battle well enough to realize that removal isn't going to happen. But he shouldn't let that political calculation cloud his answer to the first question.

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, President and Mrs. Ferdinand Marcos and LOTS of other leaders have found themselves fleeing the people. Anyone who says it cannot happen here is dreaming. Those folks, for the most part, were unarmed. We sure as hell are not.

Getting 34 Senators or more to vote against ousting this President in an impeachment trial could be a valuable bit of ammo when each of them comes to the electorate for retaining their lofty position.

Getting them on record is worth something and meanwhile it would stifle this treacherous pig for at least a bit of time.
