"Sue? I thought according to the constitution the only thing you can do to the President is to impeach him."

I'm not sure so don't quote me but I thought the House impeaches and the Senate removes from office.

Like, I think, Clinton was impeached but not removed from office.

The house impeaches, and then it goes to the senate to CONVICT. If convicted, he then is removed from office.
In a short sort of way, the impeachment is the charges brought and if found valid, it then goes to the senate for the conviction and removal.

Funny thing he conviction in the senate. the senators HAVE to be there, Have to sit silent and listen to the charges..they are the jury, with the chief justice presiding.
