Disagree. A vote for impeachment is not impeachment. It is a vote to commence the process of impeachment.
From Wikipedia: Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official. Impeachment does not in itself remove the official definitively from office; it is similar to an indictment in criminal law, and thus it is essentially the statement of charges against the official. Whereas in some countries the individual is provisionally removed, in others they can remain in office during the trial. Once an individual is impeached, they must then face the possibility of conviction on the charges by a legislative vote, which is separate from the impeachment, but flows from it, and a judgment which convicts the official on the articles of impeachment entails the official’s definitive removal from office.
With all due respect, your opinion is irrelevant. The Constitution makes clear that impeachment by the House and conviction and removal by the Senate are two different things.
Article II, Section 4:
“...Impeachment for, and Conviction of...”
That’s a lot clearer than 2A. What’s your source? We’re not in England anymore. American impeachment is not penal, it’s remedial...a purely political process in the current example.
Trump’s impeachment means nothing except an assured reelection...unless there are 5 republican turncoats in the Senate.
You can disagree all you want. The constitution says otherwise. It clearly states the House of Representatives has the SOLE power of impeachment, not "The President isn't impeached unless the Senate also agrees with it"
