The ‘calls for’ might increase, but the ‘i’ will never happen. They would be painted by both the Dems and the Media as racists.

Back in 1998 when the Clinton impeachment hearings were going on, there was some discussion between the White House and the GOP leadership about a compromise.

One idea floated was this: Do not impeach the President. In return, Clinton himself would appear before Congress and accept a Censure.

Think how that would have changed history after 1998! With a public admission of guilt, Clinton and his allies would have been finished.

But, no, the House GOP would have none of that. They wanted to pin the word "impeachment" on Clinton. They won the battle but lost the war.

Obama would never accept censure. Tyranny is his religion, he’s doing exactly what he believes no matter the rules or the outcome.

More Pubbies lost their jobs than Dems did. Newt Gingrich and his successor, Bob Livingston.

In the world of ironies, all 3 had zipper control problems.
