Awful; and we are in the same situation now, if my understanding is correct: that the House can bring the Articles of Impeachment, but it is the Senate who must make the impeached president step down. The Democrat Senate didn't do it then; and they wouldn't do it now. Lord -- and I'm not just saying this -- have mercy.
Was it a D-controlled or R-controlled Senate that held the “trial?” (is there really a difference?) But it was clear from Lott practically the day of the impeachment that the Senate wasn’t gonna do a thing ‘cept put on a show.
