I’m fairly sure Thompson voted to convict on one or more charges and to acquit on one.

And no Senator can vote “against impeachment proceedings.” Only the House has the power to impeach. The impeachment TRIAL is held in the Senate.

Any source?

Even if true, the failure of the republican senate to force clinton from office for political reasons is more than enough to eliminate each one individually from further political consideration.

You are correct about the “impeachment” charge. That charge amazed me when I first heard it for the reason you state. If the Senate had anything to do with impeachment, Clinton would not have been impeached.

I wonder how many are unaware that Clinton was impeached because they are ignorant of the meaning of the term.
