35 Articles of Impeachment Introduced Against Bush

[5-0 Kenpo]

Actually, impeachment requires Senate and then Congress to say 'go for it, impreach the loser' but, the Supreme Court has to actually impeach him. Clinton only got through Senate, the court didn't hear it.

That is not true. The House of Representatives votes on Articles of Impeachment. If passed by a simple majority, the Senate then tries the President (or others). The trial is presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, or the Vice President as President Pro Tempore of the House.

If the Seante votes with a two-thirds majority to approve the impeachment, then the President has in fact been impeached.

yes, the senate that was controlled by democrats, and the public outrage at them so blatantly choosing party over principal led to the conservatives wining it back the next election cycle.

And, he was wrong when he said that the Supreme Court tries matters of Impeachment.

I dont know why you would ascribe any other motive to what I had plainly stated. Some of us dont do that. Not many, but some.
