I was taught that impeachment is a charging of high crimes etc. and that does not imply or mean conviction which is the duty of the Senate.

IOW, Johnson and Clinton were impeached but not convicted.

I also find it irritating in surfing the web how many people believe that Richard Nixon was impeached. He was not. Impeachment was being considered by the House but no vote was held.

Apparently quite a few people (asleep during civics class or current public school grads) can’t distinguish between impeachment and conviction.

On a further note, voting “stay at homers” should consider the fact that if the Dems controlled the Senate DJT would be thrown out of office within weeks. Even a jaywalking ticket would have sufficed.
