Isn't this an entirely meaningless affair since it needs a two thirds majority to pass the Senate, the Senate is deadlocked at 50:50 after the Georgia race and the Dems will only assume control with Kamala Harris as VP after Jan 20th. A few GOP Senators may back it but not enough for 2/3's surely?

All that is needed is 2/3 or senators present on the day, not 2/3 of all senators.

No President has ever actually been successfully impeached in American History! Would a successful impeachment disbar him from running in 2024? To me it looks like the GOP are afraid he will seek the nomination in 2024 (which he could win), if they expel him from the party he could run indo and destroy the GOP vote handing it to the Dems.

No matter what happens both Obama and Trump will be the puppeteers calling the shots it seems.

maybe they should just let him see out his term and fade away, by kicking him out they'll make him a martyr for those right wing knuckle-heads :cool:

There is surely no way that these republicans are putting their heads above the parapet unless there is a guarantee that enough of them are going to flip on this. It all smacks of choreography. First the McConnell reports and then the statements from Cheney etc. I expect more to come and in enough numbers to get the job done.

It's as if they're talking about a toddler, but instead it's the President of the United States.

Maybe they should just have let Osama fade away. Sure making a martyr out of him!

And the thoughts of making a martyr out of HC didn't seem to worry them in 2016

Anyone else think Trump might still turn this around and get another 4 years ?

Hopefully a longer term than that.

To impeach doesn't need a 2/3 majority.

That's why he has already been impeached once. And by the numbers calculated he will undoubtedly be impeached twice.

The 2/3 majority is needed to convict him and remove him from office.

That won't happen.

The US Military Chiefs have spoken out and condemned the Capitol assault. They also acknowledge that units to be deployed for protection duties on Inauguration Day will need to be screened for possible extremists.

So we have the army of a democratic nation being dragged into politics and wary of possible extremist elements in its own ranks. This is third world banana republic stuff. In the USA.

Two thirds is a bridge too far though I think.

These are congressmen, it don't matter if the entire congress voted to impeach him, unless it gets the supermajority of greater than 2/3rds in the Senate then the Donald has nothing to fear.

The fact Mcconnell is discussing in house about favouring removing Trump and prominent Republicans are backing it. Trump is looking to be in a far more precarious position.

I agree in that he won't be removed, but is being twice impeached a badge he wants to wear?

Could be said that he is already using it to perpetuate his victimhood and distracted his base supporters from suspicion of him.

This idea of him not being allowed to run again appears to be much more complicated than first reported.

Republicans are feeling the pressure. Even so, being impeached twice is a damning indictment on his presidency.

I'm beginning to expect a substantial GOP vote to impeach tomorrow.

Money is a powerful motivator. A lot of corporate donors are pulling the plug so these Republicans will do what's necessary to make sure the money keeps following.
