Actually, they would need 67 votes for conviction if all senators are present: see Article I, Sec. 3 of the Constitution ("And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.").

I don't think there's a chance in hell they could impeach but even if the House did like you said removal won't fly with the Senate. The intent the congress would hope for with such an act is to get Bush and Cheney to resign.

I was replying to post 31 where another poster was saying that a Dhimmicrat simple majority in the senate was enough to remove. Either way-not going to happen.
