I agree we’re not in a situation where impeachment makes much sense. That said, I disagree that it results in minority party status. When Clinton got impeached, we won the next two presidential cycles and build big majorities on both houses. I may have had a tiny impact on 1998, but not significant, but we quickly moved to get the White House and majorities for the first time in over half a century just after impeachment.
I don’t suggest it be done now, but I don’t think it would be catastrophic if we did. I’d rather see the congress work strategically over the next two years to move legislation (even if vetoed), and set up for 2016. Two years goes by quickly, and I’d rather focus on getting someone in the WH who will actually sign good bills.
Clinton was impeached, that is correct. However he was not removed by the senate, because the dems had the majority. I am sure we could impeach him and maybe even remove him. I am thinking of the future though of the rat party to be the minority party for a long time, not just for a few years
