You are such an imbecile and a complete dork. I told you to read 5 pages from the Federalist papers and you went to consult your encyclopedia in your computer. Impeachment is done in the House. Senate does the trying. That is why Senators have to take an oath and the Chief Justice presides. Of course Clinton was impeached and tried, but it happened in two different bracnches. Well, it didn't really happen in the Senate, because it was more appropriately a mistrial. No evidence was introduced and no witnesses were called. My point was impeachment is not a trial, it is a fact-finding. The actual trial is held in the Senate. I cannot believe they let you procreate.

You are such an imbecile and a complete dork. I told you to read 5 pages from the Federalist papers Quite a command of language you have there. Are you 12 years old? As to the Federalist Papers, while interesting as historical documents they have nothing at all to do with the Constitution. They are just a series of founders that clarified their constitutional philosophies and often the wide difference between each of them. The Constitution is a simple consensus document that before the ink was dry has been subject to unceasing debate as to it's scope and meaning. Even the BOR is not sacrosanct. Any of the 10 can be revised, reworded OR done away with by amendment.

"...because it was more appropriately a mistrial..."In order to have a mistrial, you must have a trial.
"You are such an imbecile and a complete dork."
I am not in the habit of talking to children, and I am certainly not lowering myself to the level that you've descended.
Grow up.
