I don't know if anyone brought this up, but did not many of the same Congressmen / women decide during Clinton's impeachment that censure is an extra-Constitutional step and therefore cannot be sought?

^^^^

Yes, Orrin Hatch, I believe, gave an opening statement that included this concept. If not Orrin, I heard someone make the point.

Thank you.

Perhaps we could email them to check their own files and get on to other more pressing issues! :)

Let us not forget that Senator Hatch was one of the ones who was proposing censure for Mr. Clinton because he knew there were not enough votes for removal from office.

AND, let us not forget that not one of the US Senators even went to look at the evidence that brought the House Denocrats to vote for Impeachment.
