“Tell me whether the Senate had ANYTHING to do with the impeachment of Bill Clinton.”

It tried the impeachment, just as stated in the Constitution. That’s “having something” to do with an impeachment, at least on the planet that most of us live on.

New article out today that explains in more detail. http://spectator.org/articles/57838/course-he-should-be-impeached

Note the following extraction: “It is true that, to remove a President from office, a two-thirds majority of the Senate must vote to convict him of charges emanating from the House impeachment process. However, impeachment itself is a separate step — roughly analogous to an indictment in a criminal court — and requires only a simple majority in the House of Representatives.”

Impeachment is totally separate, and requires zero from the Senate.
