Oops, mistyped it, it's 67 for a supermajority.

They might as well have added, ‘because the Constitution dictates that impeachments of black presidents become mandatory when the opposing party controls 54, not 53, Senate seats.’

Yeah, good one, full meltdown. She forgot that magic number of 67 or more to make impeachment happen.

Impeachment occurs when the house votes for it. So technically, Landrieu is correct about this. “Conviction” happens when 67 Senators vote for it.

Doesn’t really matter. The House isn’t going to vote for it.
