    You don't get it. It takes a 3/4 majority of the house and senate to impeach. Republicans have a majority in both the house and senate. Won't happen even if the democrats had a majority because NO CRIME has been committed. Idiots like Green and Waters make your party look really stupid.

    House only needs majority vote to approve articles of impeachment.

    Senate decides if a President is Impeached and removed.

    2/3 vote.

    "The Senate becomes jury and judge, except in the case of presidential impeachment trials when the chief justice of the United States presides. The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict, and the penalty for an impeached official is removal from office."
    U.S. Senate: Impeachment

    LMAO no its the 2/3 House then moves on the Senate with a 3/4 for conviction with the Cheif Justice oversenning. The states have zero say in the matter as they have nothing to do with it.

    If the House had a Dem majority, Trump would've ALREADY been impeached.

    But, of course, the moronically-partisan GOP House will probably never impeach him.

    WRONG!

    A simple majority of the House to approve Articles.

    2/3 vote in Senate for conviction.

    The schools failed you.

    And the investigation didn't stop. It's still ongoing, meaning nothing was obstructed. Not only that Trump's deputy AG appointed an independent special investigator. On top of that Trump's AG has recused himself. These are the actions of a President trying to obstruct justice? It's laughable. If Trump truly wanted to stop the investigation, he could simply pardon Flynn like other presidents have done in the past.

    Maybe Trump should hire Dershowitz to defend him?

    He will never be impeached. Period. You guys are not doing yourselves any favors looking like sore losers. You'll have your chance in 2020....or are you guys afraid that these polls claiming everyone wants him impeached are leftist media manufactured bullshit and he will get reelected?

    Whoever said "everyone" wanted him impeached?

    A solid 1/4 of the electorate would support him even if he burned their house down.

    That 1/4 will believe 1+1=3 if Trump tells them.

    So, where are you seeing these polls that say "everyone" wants him impeached?

    Comey's known since his 1st meeting with the president elect, that he was going to be fired. Regardless of Trumps platitudes, Comey knew. Russian hookers? Great intro dumb @ss! So Comey started compiling another fake dossier, ambiguous, but spinnable remarks should the need arise. Comey's a snake, bred in the swamp.

    Mostly Wrong again.

    House brings charges, and presents the case to the Senate.

    To bring articles of impeachment against a president requires a majority vote in the House of Representatives. When the case is tried by the Senate, a vote of at least 2/3 of those present is required to convict and remove the president from office


    The power of impeachment is granted to the House of Representatives under Constitutional law. In Article I, Section 2, the Constitution reads, “The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.” Impeachment relates to the removal of a Government official due to crimes committed while that individual was in office.

    If the decision of the House is to impeach, then there are managers that are appointed to present the situation and case to the Senate.

    http://constitution.laws.com/house-of-representatives/impeachment-power

    The House brings impeachment charges against federal officials as part of its oversight and investigatory responsibilities. Individual Members of the House can introduce impeachment resolutions like ordinary bills, or the House could initiate proceedings by passing a resolution

    The House has initiated impeachment proceedings more than 60 times but less than a third have led to full impeachments. Just eight—all federal judges—have been convicted and removed from office by the Senate.

    thats nice, but the fact is only majority vote of the House is required to approve Article of Impeachment.

    Anything is possible. It'd probably be a lot smarter on the left's part to simmer down and stop with the impeachment talk until you get to the point you can actually do it. 2 years of whining and crying isn't going to help you in that endeavor.

    That's not what he was saying at first.

    Go back and see for yourself.
