Per Article 1 of the Constitution:
1. The House has the Sole authority to impeach.
2.The Senate has the Sole authority to try all Impeachments.
So either:
A. Trump hasn't been impeached yet
or
B. McTurtle can dismiss, or try Trump with any rules he chooses anytime he gets a hair up his ass.
There are no other options.
The House has the authority to impeach, and they have done that. The Senate holds a trial after the impeachment to decide if they kick the president out or not.
Like I've said many times before, you guys gotta quit mixing stuff up. Sorry, but Trump has been impeached. He was impeached the second the gavel hit the desk and Pelosi said he was.
Now? It's up to the Senate to hold a trial and see if they want him removed.
And...............in case you forgot, Clinton was impeached by the House, but the Senate decided to keep him in office. But, he was still impeached, even though he remained in office.
No, he was not. Per your OWN WITNESS. Since the process has not been completed, you have no impeachment no matter how much you cry. Pisslosi the drunk has ZERO say on McConnell who has rightly told her to fuck off. The SCOTUS could be asked to intervene and Pisslosi would be FORCED to follow the law. So as yet, you have no impeachment.
Impeachment and removing the president are 2 different things. If there is something that looks like the president is abusing his powers, the House holds an investigation to determine if there are impeachable offenses. That was the part where Republicans were bitching that it was a trial, and they weren't allowed to attend or bring witnesses. The investigation was open to Republicans, and some of them even attended, even though they tried to claim otherwise.
Then, after the investigation was completed, they discussed what the articles of impeachment should be. When those were determined, it was brought to the House for a vote to see if he should be impeached or not. The House voted to impeach him, and as soon as the vote was complete and Pelosi banged the gavel, Trump was impeached.
The next part of the process is to send the Articles of Impeachment over to the Senate for a trial. But, the trial portion in the Senate isn't about impeachment, it's about removal of the president. Clinton was impeached during his presidency, and that black mark remains on his administration, but, because the Senate decided to keep him around, the didn't vote to remove him.
Same thing is gonna probably be how it goes with Trump. The Senate has zero say in the impeachment, that is the House's job. But, if the House impeaches a president, then it is up to the Senate to decide to remove him or not.
Like I said, take a course in civics sometime rather than listen to the bullshit the GOP and Trump are selling you.
STFU. As I stated, YOUR WN EXPERT WITNESS has said no impeachment until the article says are sent to the senate. Until then, the house has not completed their job. I’ll listen to him and Alan Dershowitz (seems they aren’t the GOP moron) over some wannabe like you.
