I agree that Attorney General Holder should be impeached. However, he should also be convicted. There is, unfortunately, a “minor” problem under Article I of the Constitution. While a bill of impeachment can be passed by vote of a simple majority in the House, only the Senate can convict and that requires a two-thirds vote. Obama administration loyalists in the Senate could easily prevent a two-thirds vote for impeachment there.

Strong popular demands could, perhaps, change that but I doubt it.

President Clinton was impeached by the House but not convicted by the Senate and remains one of the most popular former presidents. It was an enjoyable performance but not significantly more than that.

I may be missing something, but with little if any likelihood of conviction I fail to see much to be gained. Perhaps someone will enlighten me.
