This is what you mean?


"Impeachment occurs rarely enough for many in a country to misunderstand its nature. A typical misconception is to confuse it with involuntary removal from office; in fact it is only the legal statement of charges, parallelling an indictment in criminal law. An official who is impeached faces a second legislative vote (whether by the same body or another), which determines conviction, or failure to convict, on the charges embodied by the impeachment. Most constitutions require a supermajority to convict."

.impeachment does not mean removal

I don't mean to state the obvious, but that will be small consolation given the damage that will be inflicted on the Executive Branch because of the hearings for impeachment. And don't forget that impeachment, if it happens, will actually be less damaging to the Nation than the fact the Conyers and Rangel will chair powerful intelligence and judiciary cmtes.
