minus-square@SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink54•17 days agoImpeachment doesn’t require a congressional vote either then
minus-square@MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink10•17 days agoHe’s been impeached it didn’t do squat
minus-square/home/pineappleloverlinkfedilink6•edit-217 days agoHe didn’t, it was attempted but never got passed Edit: I mean he was impeached twice but he got acquitted, I’m not even sure how that is legal cause it shouldn’t.
minus-squareJackbyDevlinkfedilinkEnglish9•17 days agoImpeach is the term for the trial thingy not getting removed.
minus-square@CmdrShepard42@lemm.eelinkfedilink6•16 days agoRepublicans blocked any evidence from being presented in the trial, and the Democrats took it lying down which is why he was aquitted.
minus-square@bender223@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglish2•16 days agoUnderlying that is also they’re scared shitless of his violent cult followers
minus-squareLitlinkfedilink5•edit-217 days ago3 times is the charm… 4 times is also the charm… so is 5 times. Keep impeaching him.
minus-square@SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink3•16 days agoIn each case, he was acquitted on all counts by the Senate. Gotta make it stick.
minus-square@MyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink1•16 days agoOh I thought he got fully convicted but just dabbed, screeched yeet and became president
minus-square@SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•16 days agoOne impeachment came just as he left the presidency so it switched to a “can you impeach an ex-president?” debate.
minus-square@Quadhammer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink1•17 days agoIirc you need like 3/4 vote to remove from office
minus-square@michel@lemmy.mllinkfedilink5•17 days agoOnly two thirds of the senate https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/impeachment.htm And to start the impeachment trial you just need a normal majority in the House
