You only need 51 votes in the Senate to convict. Obama can certainly be removed.

The United States Constitution requires a vote of 2/3 of the Senators present to convict a President tried under the impeachment clause. What constitution did you have in mind?

"The Sergeant at Arms is authorized to arrest and detain any person violating Senate rules, including the President of the United States."

The Sergeant at Arms could arrest all the Democrats, then the Republicans would have the 2/3 present that they need. (True, we'd demonstrate to all the world that we've become a Banana Republic, but didn't Obama already do that?)

Actually they need 67. And that will never happen.

Wrong, 67 in the Senate, and the House is too cowardly to impeach.
