From Senate.gov:
“The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict, and the penalty for an impeached official upon conviction is removal from office.”
So any impeachment activity by the House is not intended to remove anyone from office. Getting a 2/3 majority vote to convict has the same probability as the Lakers winning the Super Bowl. (Freeper sports fans will get the joke).
So the whole exercise by either side is just Congressional PR. I really think it would be a mistake to make this a normal way business is done when the minority party has control of the House.
Let go. Get back to work cutting taxes, rules and regulations and defunding the bill they are going to see from the IRS for 87,000 new employees.

Shoots holes all in your plans.

Do nothing maggot GOPers right here on Free Republic make me wretch. All of you goo along to get along < expletive deleted > can GTH.
Duh! That’s not the point. Get off the purist reasons.
Payback is a bitch. It’s a flashlight on them..
Touche time. And we have serious arguments, not their phone call crap.
Fight or die.
That being said, dont have a problem with impeaching at all. Start with some officials. But still have to work at fixing this stuff first.
I used to agree with that, but I am beginning to wonder if its time to impeach any Democrat for anything until the act has become utterly meaningless and trivial, in order to prevent the left from using it as a tool in 25.
1. The Republicans are not going to be cutting any taxes or regulations without the President.
2. They might be able to deal with the 87k IRS agents, but the Democrats will hold up any bill, shut down the government and the media will hold the Republicans accountable for it and they’ll cave.
3. If nothing else, an impeachment of Mayorkas will expose everything he’s done, for all the world to see. Will he be convicted in the Senate? No. But it just might be enough to have the admin tell him to resign. Maybe.
