Unfortunately, many think that impeachment is the same as removal. It is not - Conviction and Removal are two separate votes in the Senate, after the House votes Impeachment. Lacking that Impeachment is a presidential slap on the wrist and a major political debacle causing the country harm over a worthless action.

If DJT becomes what so many believe he will become (if he isn’t already) if elected, this will never happen.

Exactly. Clinton was impeached in the House. The Senate voted against removal.

Yes; Clinton was impeached but he didn’t go away.

Conviction is removal. They are not two separate votes in the Senate after the House impeaches.

Impeachment neutered William Clinton.
