This has never happened and it appears unlikely Republicans will have the necessary number of seats in 2023.
***************************************************************
Rag Newsweek, famous for having been bought for 1 dollar a few years ago, misses the point. The point is that IF the Republicans wake up on November 9 with a solid majority in the Senate and House then it becomes a BIG question as to whether or not the Senate CAN CONVICT or will even NEED to convict.
Faced with a similar situation, 3 Senators went down to the White House on August 7, 1974 and advised Nixon that he was doomed. Meaning that he would be impeached and that there was enough Senators and Representatives willing to vote YAY!
The next day, August 8, Nixon resigned.
So, let’s say the Pubs got 55 Senators in November and they need 12 more Democrats.
Here’s a newsflash to SOME Freepers who love to be the first to say “NEVER HAPPEN !!!”.
Millions of Democrats want to get rid of the sob. So, 12 more Senators could repeat August 7, 1974 and go down to the White House and chat with jill and Joe.
Let us Pray! American can’t afford two more years of Joe Biden.
I think the point of the argument to the converse is that because of what the Democrats did with Nixon and avoided with Clinton they turned the Impeachment process loaded in the Constitution into a tool of Political warfare instead of a tool of government reform and adjudication.
If the Republicans have less that the required removal vote, it will never come about —”I don’t care if he shot someone dead on the capital steps.” (or words to that effect)
Name them.
