You can impeach the President for a misdemeanor. Of course that was written in the old days, you know Washington, Jefferson, Adam’s. People not enlighten like us now.

Let’s see if Congress can stiffen up and put it to Craig, or see if Congress is the pillow biter.

Of course the Republicans in theory could do something, but that would require Party standards, of which there are none.

The WashCompost is salivating thinking of yet another seat up for a Dem takeover next year. Immediately after Sen. Warner’s announcement of his illness, CNN was shameless in quoting doctors who said that Sen. Warner should not continue his term because of his brain condition, yet it was perfectly fine for Sen. Johnson (D-S.D.) to continue to hold his seat while he has been absent for over a year with a stroke. That these msm Dem mouthpieces are taken seriously by anyone is disheartening.
That said, Craig is a selfish, ego-driven character for his betrayal of trust and utter lack of shame in holding his office and paycheck until the bitter end. Too bad Idaho does not have the power of a recall petition.

Never going to happen.

My reading indicates the only senators ever expelled were those who were Confederate sympathizers during the Civil War...uh...War Between The States...er...War Of Northern Aggression...meh, that interstate dustup over slavery in the 1860's...

The senators will consider this a matter of their own privilege and immunity over their desire to expel Craig, along with the embarrassing ethics committee meetings that would be entailed.

The republicans have some options..

Formerly announce he's out of the party and remove his committe positions.

Run the ads and start the recall of the senator in his home state. Slate a candidate and make him the lead in this.

Force a expulsion vote in the Senate. This would allow the repubs to remove craig while forcing the dems to to make a stand on this and they are not all in safe degeneerate districts..

Then again they could act as though nothing has happened and plod along until the media smears this all over again during the general election. This will be their course of action, since its simply easier to do nothing.

If you have no limits you have no standards, these republicans have no standards.

when I hear Arlen Specter’s defense of Craig — I called
my Senators to say This defense explains What is Wrong with Congress. They hold themselves to a much lower
D.C. /Sodom and Gommorah—standard and pull the rest of us down in the process. They do NOT represnt the Christian
American

Look Larry, it’s time to pack up your stuff and leave, punch out Larry, your time here is done, just go away already. The longer you stay, the more of a fool you look.

The sorry excuse for human waste is a homosexual, who engages in illegal activities to pursue his immoral choice of lifestyle (supposedly behind his “un-knowing” wife’s back), lies about it to his constituents, then pleads guilty, then tries to play the system to get out of his plea, then ignores his own resignation because he just cannot stand giving up power.

He must go.
