They’re short of the 67 votes in the US Senate.

You don’t know that until the case is made.

One could make the argument that it would be better for the Dems if Obama were to be impeached and convicted. Then President Biden could run in 2016 and 2020 as an incumbent, which gets rid of Hillary! and keeps the White House Dem for 16 years.

“They’re short of the 67 votes in the US Senate.”

Way short. Republicans will have 54 votes in the new Senate and by no means would all 54 vote impeach. Perhaps 40 would, not nearly enough.

Do you think they would be after the newly elected are sworn in? I don’t know, so I’m curious. Surely at this point a Democrat or two would vote to impeach?

Yup, they need about 17 Dems to convict.
