It looked like on 40% chance

That won’t happen. You can argue it should but it will not. Taking the Senate does not mean getting the votes to convict and even if convicted think how the media would spin it.
Instead the Republicans, if they get a majority should do three things
1. Tax reform - not just temporary tax breaks but reform the system in a way that the IRS lays off most of its staff. Make it so that the tax code cannot be used for political advantage for ANY party.
For personal taxes:
2. If there are not the votes to override a veto then gut Obamacare by removing funding or making exceptions that apply to anyone. I must give Obama credit. I did not think it was possible to make a worse system than the British National Health system, but he did!
3. Election reform. Federal elections should be free from fraud. Groups, from the left or the right that engage in rigging elections should go to jail. Illegal voting should be suppressed.
4. Enforce immigration laws and make them reciprocal. Treat Mexican or Chinese or French citizens illegally in the US in the same manner that US citizens would be treated in the illegal alien’s county.
If the Republicans can do these things Obama is irrelevant for 2 years. The last thing the left needs is another Martyr. Let the fool retire and give speeches.
Christmas 2015 maybe. The new congress is sworn in in Jan. 2015.
How many Republican senators do you imagine would vote to convict Obama? Five? Seven?
Any way you look at it, it’s not happening.
Nope. There’s a better chance republicans restore the filibuster rules to what existed before Harry Reid changed them, thus handing libs the weapons to halt a counter-offensive they have little stomach for.
