    It still didn’t result in a conviction and removal from office whereas there have been dozens of successful no confidence votes that forced new elections

      *in the USA

      Other countries exist with that mechanism and have had successful impeachments.

      It’s more that one side of the fence has so many more times that’s it’s been able to happen. How many leaders in impeachable countries have their been vs countries with a non-confidence vote instead?

      Could just be different scales here.

      It was legal (adjacent) action that resulted in removing a criminal from office.
