If 55% of Americans want Trump impeached, will it actually happen after November?

[888theGreat]

Yep the American people want Trump out of the White House.

He will be impeached this time

He will escape Impeachement

[goaded]

He will be impeached again, a conviction is unlikely, unless the American people can seriously turn the Senate (which I think is numerically impossible for them to get to 67 senators).

Democrats should probably do an impeachment every couple of weeks, with a new crime each time, until the whole world sees what Republicans will forgive him for.

Start with selling pardons. “What’s a high crime? How about if an important person hurts somebody of low means” - Lindsay Graham. Trump has pardoned multiple convicted fraudsters, and they don't have to pay their victims back the money they stole any more.

Murder on the high seas. All those "drug smugglers" killed while hundreds or thousands of miles away from the US. Especially the ones killed while shipwrecked.

Murder on the high seas. Ignoring the survivors of the unarmed Iranian ship that was torpedoed.

Starting a war without a shred of evidence that Iran was an imminent threat to the US.

The emoluments clause. He's made billions off being president.

Nepotism. His son's company just got a multi-million dollar contract with the government.

Fraud. He is trying to collude with the US government (he appointed) to get $10bn from taxpayers.

That's off the top of my hat.

He will be impeached and then not convicted.

[888theGreat]

Even if gas is $8 a gallon? Even if inflation is 15% ? Even if a cart of groceries are $1500? I think Republicans can only protect him to a point.

[msc545]

Do you think rich people give a shit whether or not gas is $8 a gallon, or inflation is 15%, or a cart of grocery costs $1,500? Hell no. They can afford it, and they don't give a shit.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

This man is a convicted felon and that didn’t get him removed from office. I wouldn’t be shocked if an impeachment never happens. Especially considering he’s been impeached more than any president before him already.

[XXblack88]

He probably won't be impeached he'll more then likely finish his 2 1/2 years left

[DryGermanGuy]

Remember, the judicial detail is in the wording: You need a simple majority in the House to impeach, but a supermajority in the Senate to convict and remove. That's why Trump is twice impeached, but never convicted.

[888theGreat]

You need 60 Senators , the votes might be there after Democrats destroy Repubulicans in November.

[DryGermanGuy]

It's two thirds (67 Senators), which is just not realistic, even with a blue wave.

[888theGreat]

Well I meant 67 , and they might have the votes. It will mean vote for Impeachment or not get reelected

[loveslongnails]

Correction sir, you need a 2/3's majority of all Senators present for the vote. If all 100 are there, you need 67 to vote to remove. The Dems control 45 seats, and there are two independents who vote with them. They would need 10 Repubs to become unaligned with the cult.

[indissoluble]

That's not how America works. We live in a Republic not a Democracy. It's weird how you haven't learned that after all these years.

[indissoluble]

The Senate doesn't impeach by the way. The House of Representatives brings articles of impeachment against an official. That is to say they accuse or bring charges against an official. The Senate has the power, but not obligation to try an official who has been impeached, but can not convict if two-thirds of the members don't agree. So what you need to learn is 1) an impeachment is just an accusation, 2) the Senate doesn't need to take the accusation seriously, and 3) 2/3 of the Senate must agree to convict someone if they do hold a criminal trial.

I really hope you are just a bot/shill from another country. because you don't even know enough about American government to be able to vote responsibly.

[888theGreat]

Yes, the Senate votes to impeach. And it is final and Trump must go or be arrested.

[indissoluble]

You're so set on impeaching Trump and you don't even know what that means. It's funny really.

[indissoluble]

Article I, Section 2, Clause 5
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

Article I, Section 3, Clause 6
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Go back to grade school kid. I knew this stuff before I reached puberty. I got awards in American Government and Economics and have an IQ of 158.

[888theGreat]

Senators vote on impeachment and if 67 say yes , He is gone.

[indissoluble]

Nope. If articles of impeachment (an accusation) are drafted in The House of Representatives and passed by a simple majority, then the Senate can choose to hold a trial or ignore it completely: "Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.". In the event a trial is run, then 2/3 of the Senate have to agree to a conviction of the official, that they are guilty of Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors and must be removed from office.

Article II, Section 4
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-2/

You're so dead set on a Democrat simple majority accusing the President of a crime with no evidence to back up your claims, but don't realize that the Senate has the sole Power to try all Impeachments, meaning that they can take the case or ignore it if they think the claims lack evidence and even then if the evidence is present, they still need 2/3 of the Senate to vote guilt to convict and remove an official from office, not 55%. You're completely lost in the weeds on some left wing propaganda rather than just reading the Constitution which tells you everything you need to know.

[indissoluble]

* guilty

[beefcakebradybatson]

Not unless the Democrats take the Senate as well as the House, and even then, nearly all REPIGLIKSWINE and a few a** kissing Trump-lite Democrats wouldn't vote for impeachment.

[Spencer10]

Best to stop wasting energy and time on impeachment. Try to run the country responsibly. That will be a change of pace for the USA. Let Karma and history deal with Trump...

[Dargil]

He was impeached twice before. If Democrats take the house, he will be again.

An impeachment is an indictment. The trial is in the Senate.

[Likes2drive]

I don’t know anybody that wants to get him impeached so I don’t know where they get these percentages but even if they try, I’m sure they won’t succeed and he’ll just finish out his term

[888theGreat]

Lots on here want him impeached.

[Likes2drive]

Maybe on here but all the people I come in contact with in real life talk about how good of a president he is, and I come into contact with a lot of people at my job and socially you would think I live in a red state so it’s hard to believe I live in a blue state

[888theGreat]

Who tells you whether they want Trump impeached or not? You ask them that question?

[Likes2drive]

A lot of people talk about how good Trump is at so many businesses I deliver to so I don’t think they would want him impeached , I see mostly blue collar workers and warehouse people , the majority of the workforce in this country, even foreigners that work here who got their citizenship don’t want illegals here since they struggled to do it the right way

[Sevenpointfive]

the people are in a difficult spot. at this point i can only hope that he tries to cheat and wins now... otherwise shit won't change.

[Anonymous]

No because America doesn't vote for it. And getting impeached is meaningless because he'd never get removed by the Senate.

[888theGreat]

55% of the people want Senate to vote impeachment

[Opinion Owner]

The Republican senators don't give a fuck

[888theGreat]

which is why they get voted out in 2028

[exitseven]

It depends on what happens with the election Democrats will try and impeach him on day 1 over some made up charge. .

[Anonymous]

Impeachment means nothing really. This is fake news no doubt, more fake liberal studies and polls.

[loveslongnails]

Impeachment is a waste of time unless you have enough votes to remove him completely.

[Anonymous]

I'm not optimistic. I'm waiting on natural causes.
