Subj : Re: GARLAND IMPEACHMENT To : Lee Lofaso From : IB Joe Date : Sun Jul 02 2023 09:03:40 On 02 Jul 2023, Lee Lofaso said the following... LL> LL> Bill Clinton was also impeached. Once. LL> As was Andrew Johnson. Once. LL> I don't think you understand the impeachment process.... There is 2 parts to the process... 1) The house votes on it, simple majority wins the case. The house then acts like a prosecutor and presents the evidence for the impeachment to the Senate as a trial. 2) The senate holds a trial and it takes 2/3 of the senate to vote them out of office. 67 senators did NOT vote Cliton out of office Ergo... Clinton was not impeached. He can run for public office and do whatever he wants. The same stands for Trump, or any of the 4 presidents who have faced impeachment.... The FACED the impeachment process... Andre Johnson NARROWLY avoided being impeach... 2/3s of the senate didn't vote him out. Richard Nixon stepped down before the senate could vote... and President Ford pardoned him anyway... Clinton... senate didn't reach a 2/3 threshold and the same stands for Trump in both cases, no 2/3 threshold. You need parts 1 and 2 to be impeached. So for there has been no president impeached... there have been 4 who faced it... none impeached. The house voting on impeachment is like an indictment, allegations that need to be tested out in a trial... part 2... with the senate. You need to educate yourself a little more before you put yourself out there... LL> LL> The only POTUS ever to be put to trial twice. And in one term. LL> All in due accordance with the US Constitution. LL> This is true... and it was all political and this is why the GOP may vote to expunge his record. LL> LL> The House doesn't have to prove shit. All it has to do is make LL> allegations. Point fingers and accuse. If a majority vote "Yes" LL> the article is passed. Until all articles have been voted on. LL> They do have to prove shit.... They act as the prosecutors during the senate trial... THATS THEIR JOB... They present the facts behind the articles of impeachment. The president has his defense... they argue things out like it was a trial. Supreme court Chief Justis is the Judge.... Today all 100 senators are jurors, and it's mandatory that they be present and listen to the evidence and vote on the evidence presented. This is basic civics... If you are an American you should know this. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51162251 BBC article breaks it down nicely for you From that article "The prosecutors Congressman Adam Schiff, Democrat Mr Schiff is the leader of the seven House impeachment managers: he and Jerry Nadler, as well as House of Representatives members Jason Crow, Val Demings, Hakeem Jeffries, Zoe Lofgren and Sylvia Garcia." Even the BBC knows that they house has to prove their allegations... Basic US Civics Bring yourself up to speed...
