minus-squareSocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up54·2 months agoImpeachment doesn’t require a congressional vote either then
minus-squareSocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 months agoI thought this was how he was elected.
minus-squareMyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 months agoHe’s been impeached it didn’t do squat
minus-square/home/pineapplelover@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-22 months 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-squareCmdrShepard42@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 months agoRepublicans blocked any evidence from being presented in the trial, and the Democrats took it lying down which is why he was aquitted.
minus-squarebender223@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoUnderlying that is also they’re scared shitless of his violent cult followers
minus-squareLit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-22 months ago3 times is the charm… 4 times is also the charm… so is 5 times. Keep impeaching him.
minus-squareSocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoIn each case, he was acquitted on all counts by the Senate. Gotta make it stick.
minus-squareMyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoOh I thought he got fully convicted but just dabbed, screeched yeet and became president
minus-squareSocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoOne impeachment came just as he left the presidency so it switched to a “can you impeach an ex-president?” debate.
minus-squareQuadhammer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 months agoIirc you need like 3/4 vote to remove from office
minus-squaremichel@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 months 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
