From every FReepers fav reference, Wikipedia:
Under the United States Constitution, the House of Representatives has the sole power of impeachments while the Senate has the sole power to try impeachments (i.e., to acquit or convict); the validity of an impeachment trial is a political question that is nonjusticiable (i.e.., is not reviewable by the courts).[13] In the United States, impeachment is a remedial rather than penal process,[13][14]: 8 intended to "effectively 'maintain constitutional government' by removing individuals unfit for office";[14]: 8 persons subject to impeachment and removal remain "liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."[14]
Yeah, they
might be able to get this through the House but the Senate represents a major stumbling block, IMHO.

(The longer I remain unjabbed with the clot-shots, the more evidence I see supporting my decision.)
