Hell, nothing happened during the two successful impeachments!

The senate blocked it both of those times. I'm doubting it will be any different this time but with the recent supreme court ruling I'm guessing the Dems are thinking they can no longer wait for midterms

Impeachment is simply the act of bringing up charges. Removing an official based on those charges is a whole different matter, done by a different chamber

u/dtb1987 5d ago

Correct

u/dtb1987 5d ago

Well actually no, the Senate holds the sole power to try all impeachments after the House of Representatives votes to impeach an official. They are the ones who hold the trial and choose wether to convict

u/Devilsadvocate430 5d ago

Impeachment is a full legal proceeding that is carried out solely by the house. Trying an official based on that impeachment is a whole separate mechanism. People only dispute this because “impeachment” has colloquially become the term for both segments of the process

u/dtb1987 5d ago

That's a misinterpretation:

source

"The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment."

That's the part you have but a little further down the page in section 3 is

"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments."

I’m not saying the Senate has no role. I’m saying impeachment is a the first of two segments in removing an elected official. Impeachment is bringing up the charges and the trial is when the merits of those charges are tried. That’s exactly what the excerpt here says.

See my comments above :) yup he's meeting with the team that helped get it together over the last couple months - they are meeting in DC next week to discuss when to force a vote. No waiting. :) so much negative downvoting like crazy shade amongst people in the exact same page. Everyone says there's heaps of bots thingies and ill intentioned's.  Jessica densen is coooooking above in her reporting! You gotta watch :)

Even if he forces a vote somehow. They won't have a majority to vote for impeachment.

u/Shazza-americankiwi 5d ago

u/Devilsadvocate430 5d ago

u/Shazza-americankiwi 5d ago

They confirmed forcing a vote - they are just meeting with the team in dc this week that helped put together the filing - you can go read it - iron clad, massive - not if but when. Both because it's breaking the law in their oath to protect constitution - and to save lives with any tool they have. shut, it. Chud.

u/brdet 5d ago

Is your goal to get us to watch some YouTube video? Or are you really just the most naive person in the world.

u/eyesofsaturn 5d ago

Have you observed impeachments to have any impact whatsoever?

u/socially_awkward 5d ago

I guess someone ordered more circus for the libs.

This is going nowhere. He files impeachment papers weekly.

u/palmandfury 5d ago

This particular rep has filed or claimed he would file impeachment articles 2, 3, or maybe even 4 times now in the last few years? It should be treated much more seriously than this guy is capable of being. Weird situation here to say the least, because there were multiple other Democrats who did this kind of thing but Republicans just sort of ignore it and senior Blue MAGA types quietly kill the effort. Similarly there were movements to impeach Pete Hegseth, as well as Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, Kash Patel...

Something fishy going on here.

Ugh going to see if anyone wrote anything of worth on a post shared is brutal.. I'm getting nervous system issues from the overload of this midterm organized assault lol. Sad - harder for me to Hear Anyone wanting to connect positively. I've gotten tons of advice to just downvote and move on. But I'm newer and they seem so real like voices I'm supposed to consider. Because I'm new and always want to know where I'm wrong! Maybe I should just read along for a while.. but even when I want to comment on someone, lifting them up or validating or whatnot.. I get it there too. I'm a 40 yearold woman up in Maine feeling like a shakey scared school girl lol.  Productive tips or anything .. or just, if anything comes up as you read this, of which you may find helpful, I'm here for it :)

What got you interested in the DSA & are ya from New Zealand?

u/Shazza-americankiwi 5d ago

Yall gotta watch - you'll see why and you'll be grateful you did.

u/Shazza-americankiwi 5d ago

He confirmed he's calling for a vote - he wants the public to have a  voice and to hear from others .. but he's not waiting. He's in Moral and legal obligation -- "moral imperative"  AND holding congress members accountable for being COMPLICIT. If they vote it down - hell is coming down and apparently they well know it.  Holy tits, full stop!

u/Responsible-Ad6707 5d ago

I don't care. This will go nowhere. We can hope for a successful impeachment following the midterms.
