Donald Trump warned Republican members of Congress on Tuesday that if they don’t win in this year’s midterms, then he will “get impeached.”
“You got to win the midterms because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached,” the president said.
Trump was impeached two times during his first term. In 2019, he was impeached on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for allegedly pressuring Ukraine’s president to interfere in the 2020 election. The second impeachment came during his final days in office after the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with lawmakers charging him with incitement of insurrection. Trump was acquitted in the Senate both times.
Congresses impeaches, Senate removes. So when this time there is a democratic majority in the senate as well they could actually remove him.
Could, but won’t. Too many dems are openly complicit with the current regime.
Ive seen this one before. Dems get majority, a handful of dems decide it’s their time to act like Republicans to appease Dem donors, nothing gets passed, Dems get called ineffective and lose the next election to a fascist.
am I off on my facts or isn’t it a 2/3rds requirement? Getting a majority is very possible… getting a 2/3rds is almost impossible. In Nixon’s era the republican party at least held up enough air of responsibility that some of them would have voted with the facts rather than along party lines. Those days have gone.
