“If Boehner really wanted to do something significant, he’d move to IMPEACH ERIC HOLDER.”
THAT would be significant. But I think Holder’s leaving anyway and the House would then have no power to charge.
Not entirely right.
The Senate can impose two penalties upon conviction. One, removal from office, is moot after a resignation. But the second, a lifetime disqualification from "any office of trust or profit under the united States" can be imposed on any one at any time.
