This bozo will be re-elected!!......and if convicted and after time spent in prison, runs for office again, he will win..........over ANY Republican!
He can be impeached. Impeachment stops him from running.
His actions, and more importantly, his conduct, warrant impeachment.

No. Members of Congress cannot be impeached. They can only be expelled from the House or Senate by vote of those bodies, after civil investigations by those bodies. The last person expelled from the House was James Trafficant (D - Ohio), who refused to resign after he had been convicted of bribery and malfeasance in office and was shortly scheduled to go to jail.

Impeachment CAN, but does not automatically, bar the person from any future federal office. Judge Alcee Hastings argued against disqualification when he was removed as a federal judge. The House did not disqualify him. And now he is "the formerly-Honorable, Honorable Cong. Alcee Hastings" from Florida.

P.S. My primary is over, but because of certain legal and ethical problems, the incumbent, Charles Taylor may withdraw/be forced out, and I am in the running to be chosen as the replacement nominee for Congress in the 11th District of NC. For more information, see the article below, and my website. I still need your help.
