Do you know that there has NEVER been even ONE SINGLE SUCCESSFUL IMPEACHMENT process in the entire history of this country.

In other words, even though this “process” is written into the Constitutuon - in all the times it has been tried over the course of our entire history of our country - it HAS FAILED EVERY SINGLE TIME to EVER remove one single President!

Clinton was impeached. It certainly slowed him down, even if he wasn't removed.

Two American presidents were impeached. There have been about sixty impeachments in this country with quite a few actually resulting in removal of the defendants, mostly judges.
At the Philadelphia convention, Benjamin Franklin pointed out that assassination was the usual method of removing obnoxious politicians and he suggested, and enough of his colleagues agreed with him, that a legislative process was preferable.

Enough of Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton’s colleagues were so disgusted with their conduct that they voted to impeach.
It couldn’t help but put a damper, one would think, on their respective excesses. As I recall, it made Slick stop assaulting women in and off the Oval office (as far as we know) for the few months remaining of his second term.
Impeach him. It’s the right thing to do.
