For those trying to make sense of what's going on, the Democrat's vote for impeachment is a delay tactic. It brings the government legislative branch to a standstill. Nothing can move until the impeachment trial is dispensed with.

Yeah, he was impeached by a (D)eranged mob.

The instant the vote was in, I sent a big contribution to Donald J Trump for President, Inc. I hope that tens of thousands of others have done likewise. That’s my initial salvo, my initial message.

You are wrong. To impeach is to indict.

The progs have now stepped into the light with two meaningless “Articles,” no crime, no actual evidence and they are stuck.

If NP withholds the articles they will be a laughingstock. The entirety of the United States government standing there looking at NP with that "we're waiting" expression on their faces.

If she delivers the articles the progs will be obliterated by the process that follows.

Impeached means charged. Not removed.

No, the House votes to impeach (think of impeachment as the charges filed in a criminal case). The Senate then hears the case and votes to convict or acquit. In other words, the Senate acts like the court trial after the arrest and indictment.

President Trump has become the 3rd President to be impeached. That being said, this was all done on partisan lines and is clearly viewed as being nothing more than a political impeachment. Which is why most people are not the least bit interested.

It’s kind of like those old duels with the single shot pistols.

The Democrats have been threatening and threatening to shoot, and now they’ve taken their shot.

President Trump is still standing.

Oh oh.

No. Impeachment happens in the house. Removal happens after a trial in the Senate.

Based on your definition ,no President has been impeached.

Well you terminology posting is quite correct. The only TRUE impeachment would conclude with Conviction of Impeachment Articles, and the only sentence/outcome would be removal from office. All else is just “impeachment”.... from quite impeachable “sources”.

The game is afoot. The Trial is Dead on Arrival, the Senate will reject the Articles as UnConstitutional, and then the Democrats can try and pursue that decision in the Courts, where they are allowed to seek Judicial Relief (which btw they did not do in the House Inquiry over witnesses- because they knew they would lose. See how the Founders built that in?).

And the Supreme Court will not “award” an action because it cannot force the Senate to do... anything. Not Constitutionally anyway.

Nice post. Thanks.

“Impeachment” means “To Charge” not “To Convict.”

Now with the Left, to charge IS to convict.

“But impeachment means removal upon conviction.”

After reading the comments, I’m in agreement with those that say you are wrong. The Google definition of both ‘impeach’ and ‘impeachment’ have to do with a charge of misconduct or treason or otherwise calling certain acts into question.

As another poster said, it’s and indictment.

If Trump is not convicted, then he cannot be removed from office or prevented from running again.

I hear ya. It's about the same as the difference between "Constitutional right" and "Constitutionally protected right".

One is not correct, the other one is.

No offense, but you're flat-out wrong about this. Give it up.

The House has accused him...unlike Clinton, he will be acquited of all charges...

An accusation is not a conviction. Clinton was determined to be guilty, yet his sentence did include removal from office.
