Can the democrats use Reconciliation to impeach Trump?

[Votto]

Does anyone remember democrats passing Obamacare? They did not have enough votes in the Senate to pass it after Ted Kennedy died as the liberal voters of Massachusetts voted for Scott Brown, the first Republican to be elected in a very long time because he ran on stopping Obamacare. For you see, the people of MA liked their state run Romneycare, because it is much better run at the state level. To their credit, Ted Kennedy and the Dims saw it coming so they desperately tried to change the laws so that their would be no general election to put someone like Scott Brown into office who might thwart their plans, but they failed and the rest is history.

So the democrats then had to bypass the democratic process to achieve their goals, so they used Reconciliation to ram it through and even had to bribe members of their own party to go along with it behind closed doors. Sound familiar? Yes, the entire DNC is a giant Star Chamber as they are horrified at people actually knowing what they are doing.

So can they do the same with impeachment?

The House can play games regarding impeachment, but the Senate is bound by the 2/3 majority requirement to convict.

Thank you for that post. I remembered some of that, but not the Reconciliation. Something (of possible many) we have to watch out for. Thanks again.
