Can he be impeached?
The Senate can expel him by a two thirds vote. The process is different from impeachment in that the House does not have to vote to impeach. It’s purely an administrative function of the Senate.
Yuck!
Don’t want to go there!:)
How can Arizona get the Senate to expel McCain?
Post #62.
It can’t. The Senate must be sufficiently outraged by McCain’s behavior to expel him by that all important two thirds vote.
McCain is also a North Vietnamese ACE, having downed 5 American aircraft.

I am amazed at the number of complete imbeciles we have in Congress
Did anyone read or hear that McLame was called “Songbird” in the Hanoi Hilton??
McCain was meeting with isis leaders....back when us was giving them aid to topple syria’s legitimate government.
He will have some explaining to do.
McCain bump for later....
So a change.org petition should ask for McCain to be expelled from office.
Dems love this war monger traitor who hates Trump, won’t happen, but the GOP can censure him and the Folks in Arizona should vote him out of the GOP. That way he loses seniority on committees.
I am amazed but you are right!! He took down 5 US planes . He got total blame for one as “PILOT ERROR” and they others were not directlt attributed to his errors. What a guy.
McCain graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in June 1958; he was fifth from the bottom in class rank, 894th out of 899. While at the Academy, he accumulated over 100 demerits per year, primarily because of conduct problems.
He is still having conduct problems.
The folks in Arizona cannot vote him out of the GOP insofar as he has just won reelection. The Republican Senate brass can strip him of his committee assignments, but his response would be to change parties. With the Senate so closely divided, that would be a risky strategy.
The number 1 question indeed.
Members of Congress can not be impeached. To remove a Senator from office two-thirds of the Senate would have to vote to "expel" him. That is not going to happen. Neither is he going to resign. He has to be defeated at the ballot box, unless he decides not to run for reelection.
