Doesn’t an impeachment need a majority in the house and then the senate?
2/3 in the Senate
Thanks, I got confused with this part:
This triggers a federal impeachment trial in the United States Senate, which can vote by a two-thirds majority to convict an official, removing them from office. The Senate can also further, with just a simple-majority vote, vote to bar an individual convicted in a senate impeachment trial from holding future federal office.
Ah, yeah. If they reach the 2/3 to remove, then a second vote can be held to ban from office with a lower 50%+1 vote.
If he couldn’t be removed after two(or was it three?) impeachments, and being convicted of 40 something felonies… What is this going to do?
Despite the dramatic announcement, Green’s effort lacks support from Democratic leadership. A senior House Democrat told Axios that Green’s impeachment articles would go nowhere.
Democratic Representative Pete Aguilar echoed this sentiment, saying, “This isn’t a focus of the Democratic Caucus.”
So what exactly is a focus of the Democratic Caucus?
As near as I can tell, their focus is entirely on registering just barely enough tepid opposition to the plutocrats’ agenda to avoid looking too much like blatant collaborationists and… that’s about it.
To roll over an play dead and hope that Trump will reap the consequences of his actions at some point. Not the greatest strategy.
It’s not going to go anywhere though. That is the truth.
Frustratingly I don’t think anyone has an answer to your question.
To say meaningless words while secretly supporting Trump so they can all buy up weakened stocks and put all the blame on Trump.
As much as i would love for orange jesus to be tried and relieved of duty, pushing this when you don’t have the votes just diminishes the interest/confidence.
