Sorry .. but there all kinds of holes in your theory.

When the Articles are Drawn - that is the indictment (or the charge). When the HOUSE VOTED on the CHARGES, THAT IS THE CONVICTION OR IMPEACHMENT!! In fact, in the House, when they took the vote, the person calling for the votes, recounted the CHARGES, and said, "on the CHARGE OF PERJURY", how do you vote. IMPEACHMENT IS CONVICTION!!!

The only thing the senate does is decide if the impeachment is severe enough to cause REMOVAL FROM OFFICE.

BILL CLINTON WAS INDICTED AND CONVICTED BY THE HOUSE .. but he was not removed from office because the democrats were more concerned with POWER than with justice. And .. the democrats NEVER EVEN WENT AND LOOKED AT THE EVIDENCE .. because they already had decided they were not going to remove Clinton. And .. the republicans were helpless because there were not enough of them to evict Clinton.

Your little story was a good try .. but it's totally incorrect. FOREVERMORE, THE WORD "IMPEACHMENT" WILL BE LINKED TO BILL CLINTON, and there is nothing anyone can ever say to excuse it away.

It's not a theory, it's the definition of the process. You don't have to take my word for it, look up how it works.
