    Finally? He’s already been impeached. Twice.

    The next step would be to have him removed from office, but that requires a 2/3 majority of the Senate to agree on it.

      Yeah, but saying impeached and convicted in the senate just doesnt have the same sting. It is what I mean so, yeah, I dont know. You’re 100% correct.

        For lying about a blowjob that wasn’t anybody else’s business in the first place. Such a terrible crime.

          Eh, she was his subordinate, so I would say it was our business.

          However, not nearly warranting impeachment.

          Perjury. Lying under oath to the American people. It might have been a stupid thing to have to lie about but it was still a crime.

            True, but it was also completely unrelated to any actions as part of the duties of his office. The entire investigation into the affair was because the Republicans found nothing illegal. There’s a reason Trump kept referring to his investigations as a witch hunt, because that’s exactly what the Republicans did with Clinton, and to this day they still keep trying to equate a personal affair with treason as much as possible so idiots won’t actually think about how fucking ridiculous that comparison actually is.
