Trump Impeachment

[tamborine]

Seems Democrats have won impeachment against POTUS.

What happens next ?

[cassa333]

Well of course they won the impeachment vote. There are more democrats in the house than republicans.

Now if they have the guts to send it up to the senate that’s were the real fun will start.

[ichkeria]

There will be a trial in the senate where the republicans have a majority so he’ll get off

[Zacs-Master]

No they haven't. They've 'won' the right for the house to debate it.

[ichkeria]

Yes the vote hasn’t happened yet.
Without cheating, who were the two other presidents to be impeached?
:-)

[tamborine]

Tv 232 Parliament. Debate over

[ichkeria]

No it isn’t it’s just starting.

Sorry to butt in, but I was interested in Ich's question.

I don't know who were actually impeached, but I think I'm right in saying the obvious choice, Nixon, was never formally impeached.

I think he jumped before he was pushed

[ichkeria]

Right Builder it was Andrew Johnson in the turbulent times after the civil war. Neither Johnson or of course Clinton was removed from office as a result.

[cassa333]

Nixon and Clinton. But Nixon jumped before I think.

[Peter Pedant]

johnson 1867 or thereabouts - he dismissed Stanton against the Act
and it failed by one vote - 18 - 35 I think

Clinton for lying to congress ( I dayd not hayve sex with that woman - but he had!) - they had a vote half way thro and gave up')
( they had a vote to adjourn half way thro)

trump wrote a Letter - in which he said "worse than the Salem which trials where they burnt the witches"
is that the case or did the Beeb journo in her enthusiasm get it wrong?

1692 - they hanged them [as every fule kno]- altho witches were burnt mostly in Europe

[ichkeria]

Trump has his chance for history to go one better than Johnson or Clinton :-)
