In a speech on the Senate floor on Tuesday, former Ku Klux Klansman, Sen. Robert Byrd, pledged to put President Bush on trial in the Senate if the House impeaches him.
Addressing the president in absentia, Sen. Byrd began by warning that Congress retains all its original powers under the Constitution.
"You better read that again in the Constitution," Byrd said, declaring that the Senate's powers include "serving as a court of impeachment.
"You better believe it, Mr. President," Byrd continued. "The Senate can send you home. You better believe that."
The ex-Klansman then added: "If the House impeaches you, the Senate will try you. The Senate, don't forget it, serves as a court of impeachment and has an equal say with the House on legislation."
Over at Democrats.com, where a transcript of Byrd's remarks turned up, the outburst was greeted enthusiastically.
Reacting to the West Virginia Democrat's impeachment threat, one poster declared, "Man, I like the sound of that . . . you've got to like whatever gumption some of these guys found while they were on their congressional break."

Bob should try actually reading that copy of the Constitution he's always waving around. The Senate can't impeach anyone.
To: armchairadmiral
He's too senile to stay there even if he did find his way home.

Woops! That's what I get for basing a comment on a headline instead of the story.

I had a granddad who became senile in his 80's, it was amazing , he could barely walk across the living room (bad knee) but every now and again he would take off on my grandmother and somehow get a mile or better before the troopers would pick him up! He was a great guy though. Think one day they will be picking Byrd up? Maybe in full sheet and hood?

That old man has lost his mind.
