Remember, Bill Clinton was impeached.

All it requires is a majority vote in the House, I think.

It is not common, but it is very simple to do.

What is much harder, is getting 2/3 majority in the Senate, on the follow-on vote.

Yup. That’s what I meant earlier on another post. Can anyone name the 67 senators that wifi vote. “Yay” to “convict”? Probably 49 + mclame and a couple other assclowns but 67? I think not.

Actually, it's 67 votes. A pretty steep hill to climb.

Because unless you have the votes in the Senate you are wasting time and money.

It was worth the effort in the case of Clinton even though it was a sure thing that he would survive, because he had committed actual crimes.

History will record that Clinton should have been removed from office (eventually)

The House, as currently constituted, would never impeach him. If it did, however, Republocan Rats like Grassly and Hatch would join the Rats to impeach because they are hopelessly corrupt.

There needs to be a crime first
Bill was impeached for lying under oath in a deposition
There are no crimes at all. Never mind high crimes
The left is apoplectic
Just ignore them
