He's not out. Stop spreading bad information. He's been impeached. Now he has to stand trial in the senate where he will 100% be acquitted by that corrupt group of traitors. He will continue to hold his position, and he will continue to do what he has been doing all along. The impeachment is symbolic at this point, nothing more.
Correct. This is basically the house republican's angriest letter possible, that's all. It doesn't change much.
Sadly this is the correct answer
Exactly. The only "Winning" going on is members of the house winning re-election by fooling people into thinking they actually did something meaningful.
Don't get me wrong, I believe we are winning, but THIS is just an election ploy. This is freaking business as usual.
The only real and permanent action would be if a rep caused his spirit to separate from his body, right there on CSpan.
What are they supposed to do?
We don't live in a dictatorship. The house can't just declare that he's fired with total impunity.
Democrats would have the official murdered if he were not toeing their party line. I'm not advocating that; it's simply what the other side would do.
Not wrong, fren, not wrong.
it's good that they did this. It would be dereliction of duty if they didn't, and we've already had our fill of that.
Exactly.
This.
Bill Clinton was impeached. He was not out.
A vote to impeach, in not impeached, right?
Wouldn't the Senate have to hold the trial, and a majority vote in favor of impeachment? How does it work at Cabinet level.
He looks like Klaus's minime.
I wondered about cabinet as well … goes to senate ,, they will not remove him …it’s just theatrics !
While just being theatrics, it's important to note that it is an important bit of theatrics.
Optics are part of war.
Looks to be the same process a if president were impeached with exception that Chief Justice of SCOTUS does not preside over Senate trial.
The United States Constitution provides that the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" (Article I, section 2) and "the Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments … [but] no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present" (Article I, section 3). The president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States are subject to impeachment.
I'm not sure the Senate is required by law to take up the trial though.
No he's not. The Senate is held by the D's. This was largely ceremonial, I'm afraid.
He is not out. The Senate doesn't have the votes to convict.
This may be an awesome landmine white-hats are placing for RINOS and vulnerable Dems. There IS going to be a massive terrorist event caused by mother fukers that came thru the open border. After that happens, I think the public will lose its shit (for the most part), and there will be an overwhelming demand for accountability ... not like before, but MASSIVE this time. All demographics pissed off in unison. Anyway, Dems WILL throw Myorkas under the bus (commies always eat their own). Every single Senator that votes to ACQUIT that monster will be digitally tarred-and-feathered. Lezbo Cheney treatment.
The absolutely corrupt Senate. The roadblock at nearly ever point, every point that matters. That needs to change, and right quickly...because America is a Constitutional Republic, with representation FOR the people, BY the people. And nearly all of the Senate members....have ZERO understanding or buy-in to what that means. So most of them need to go...one way or the other.
He isn’t going anywhere. Unfortunately.
He's not out but now has a trial before the Senate. This could get juicy even if the votes aren't there to give mayorkas what he deserves, a swift kick in the ass to a Gitmo cell for treason and lying to Congress.
He’s not out- it still has to go to the senate - Need to adjust your title
Why do some Patriots NOT understand the process of impeachment? This has to be confirmed by the Senate, and visa versa. He will NOT be impeached by the miserable pieces of shit GOP RINOS and certainly NOT his fellow traitorous collaborators in the majority DNC.
His DESERVED impeachment will hold less weight than Trumps FAKE impeachments.
How many remember that Bill Clinton was impeached? None. Because the crooked media don't report it that way
My thanks to the dozens of people who corrected me around the word “out.”.
Message received with a good attitude!
PS we’re still winning 😀
Nice flair!!!! We lika da flair! We Wansa most flair!!!
Lets open the betting on the Senate voting to summarily dismiss as opposed to hearing testimony and perhaps calling witnesses. I know without a Republican majority and RINOS like Romney and Collins in the chamber which outcome I'm betting on.
this isnt winning.. this removes the horrible senate bill from the news.
My unpopular take on this - none of these fraudsters deserve impeachment - they deserve to all be taken out all together (if we had a proper, functioning governing body adhering to the Constitution). Fraud vitiates everything.
Impeachment legitimizes the power they stole from We the People.
