Dear Michael: you should stick to explaining Woody Allen’s movies because you obviously know nothing about impeachment proceedings. Everyone keeps dragging up the Clinton impeachment proceedings as the model. Why? Nobody ever accused the Clinton administration of massive oral sex encounters in the White House. Nobody ever accused loads of people breaking the law while Clinton lied. The Clinton impeachment was just about one guy, Clinton. What is becoming apparent in the Obama administration is an ORGANIZED effort by many administration members to engage in wrongdoing.
Clinton = 1 person and 1 incident
Obama = many people with many incidents
Michael, you appear to be a nice guy, but what part of “one is different than many” do you not understand?

First, a reality check: The Republicans currently control only 45 seats in the U.S. Senate and would therefore need to persuade 22 members of the Democratic caucus to vote to oust a president of their own party in order reach the two-thirds majority the Constitution requires. The possibility of winning these votes is, simply, non-existent. The last time Republicans forced a Senate vote to convict a president of "high crimes and misdemeanors," they didn't win a single Democrat to their cause.
In fact, all three of the serious impeachment drives (against Andrew Johnson in 1868, Richard Nixon in 1974 and Bill Clinton in 1998-99) occurred when the president's opponents controlled both houses of Congress by hefty margins.

We only have the House
