IMpeachment is one thing. Conviction and removal from office was almost guaranteed not to happen thanks to the 17th Amendment to the Constitution in 1913.

I think Clinton proved impeachment is now useless. I wonder if repealing the 17th could restore it.

Imagine what the trial would be like if the Senators knew that their reaffirmation to another 6 years depended upon those in the House that impeached the President.
