2/3 of 435 House seats = 290 votes required to impeach

Dems current have 235 House members

That means they need to get 55 House Republicans to go along ... anybody really think that will happen?

These people are hallucinating

House needs simple majority, Senate needs 2/3s.

But many House Dems know they will lose reelection if they vote to impeach Trump.

Speaker Botox likely doesn’t have the votes without bribing and strongarming

Sorry, no. The House only needs a simple majority to impeach. The Senate needs 2/3 to convict.

It’s never gonna happen. Nancy is just trying to divert attention from the upcoming OIG report. And they already know Barr is already investigating Hillary and Obama for spying on Trump. Their day will come.

No, 218 required to impeach, which the Dems have. But do they really want to go there? Is that what they want to spend their time doing?

For the 999 out of 1000th time impeachment by the House is not removal!!!! Slick Willy was impeached! The Senate chose not to remove! Anyone remember a President Gore?

“A simple majority of those present and voting is required for each article for the resolution as a whole to pass.... “

“... Article I, Section 2, Clause 5 of the Constitution grants to the House of Representatives “the sole power of impeachment”, and Article I, Section 3, Clause 6 grants to the Senate “the sole Power to try all Impeachments”. ….”

It’s “tried” in the Senate, you need a 2/3rds majority to convict/remove. The current Senate breakdown is 57 GOP & 47 Rat. Assuming all Rats hold their ground (I don’t think Manchin will if he wants to run again for WV Guv!). The scum would need 19 GOP to defect. Not going to happen! Not with Trumps current popularity! At best maybe 6! Then Pence is Prez I don’t see how the Rats get an improvement! To impeach & remove Pence, you got to go through it all again. Prez & Veep are two separate offices! It just appear not to be because of the now stupid thoughtless way we do things!

Please read the Constitution!

Wrong it only takes a simple majority to impeach. I think they will do it. So Mueller holding his report for over a year was to make sure the Rats got the House and therefore impeachment.
Treasonous c-sucker

Maybe the jackasses don't believe they need 290 votes. They can decide for themselves and screw voting.

House only needs simple majority. Dems already have enough votes for well over a majority.
