Ah yes, I remember Obama getting impeached for bombing Syria.

And for that matter, Trump getting impeached for killing Soleimani, the leader of Iran, while he was in Iraq.

impeachment shmimshmeashment, i want a conviction and an escort out of the building

i hate the fucking united states

They had a better chance of impeaching him for Jan 6th for actual insurrection than they do this time. Why? Because there are so many legal loop holes with the War Time Powers Act and the 2001 Authorization of The Use of Military Force. These loopholes were used by both Bush Jr. and Obama for various justifications for air strikes so the precedent is already there. Don't get your hopes up and chalk up it up political theater. It's also a distraction from what's going on. Thanks again to Twatter being that megaphone of "HEY LOOK OVER HERE!"

not with the house in the hands of republicans.

Best hope there is enough democracy left in the US to swing it back to the Dems in 2026.

And even then, without a comfortable majority for the Dems in the senate it will just be another impeachment to add to the pile, no conviction.

They don't call him teflon don for no reason

Not sure who still isn't getting this.

There is a literal American traitor in the Oval Office. One who has flagrantly violated the law, and specifically the Constitution, numerous times.

Impeachment is meaningless, as we've witnessed multiple times in American history. Impeachment is an acceptable process if the violation is minimal and not repeated. It's a slap on the wrist. A warning.

We are WAY beyond a symbolic slap on the wrist with no real repercussions. Impeachment is not a valid tool to use in a situation like this. At minimum, we are at the point where there needs to be massive protests like we just saw, repeatedly, until he is removed from office. If that fails, then there needs to be a general strike until he's removed. If that fails, then he needs to be removed from office by force.

If we can't manage these things, we will continue seeing the degradation of our freedoms, the collapse of our economy, the destruction of our founding document, signaling the end of our democracy, and the hole we'll end up finding ourselves in will be one we won't see this country come out of for the remainder of our lives.

It is time to remove this traitor and his treasonous enablers from their positions of power.

We haven't declared war since WW2. Everything has been AUMF, which can be done within 60 days retroactively. As always, the government is checks and balances, so if Congress refuses to exercise its powers and let the executive do whatever, it's a moot point.

I think it'd only lead to impeachment if Congress wants us gone within 60 days and Trump refuses, continues without an AUMF, and then Congress actually had the balls to push back at that point.

But if someone is more familiar with the legal processes involved here, please do correct me or add to this.

Can anyone explain what happened to the articles of impeachment that were introduced a few months ago?

So? Nothing will ever come with it.

Not happening. Next quotum

The problems, the House and Senate are controlled by the Russian supporting MAGA clowns. I believe Mango Mussolini has a 60 day window before he needs to end the military engagement against Iran. For the moment, a drunk, a felon and Signal App are controlling the US military.

So is everything else he's done. Not seeing it happen any time soon.

Doing a war.
