When Hilary wins will the Rs try to impeach her before she is

[Monk06]

sworn in?

Sounds loony but the Rs are at level 11 in terms of their hate driven irrationality

But seriously is there any obscure semi constitutional gambit they could pull to even bring the subject of impeachment up in congress before the inauguration?

Any constitution wonks out there want to weigh in?

[onenote]

1. No.

End of discussion.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. No. She's not the president until she's sworn in

and therefore can't be impeached.

[napi21]

3. I'm sure they'll try if they think there's even a tiny chance they could get hearings that people

would pay attention to.

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Win the House and Senate.

Problem solved.

[The Wielding Truth]

15. If we even just have the Senate she is safe.

5. Hillary

6. The notion has been seriously considered. At least in part serious

by Huffington Post it seems

Rather amusing and informative

I'm sure the Conservative Caucus Teabagger nutbars in Congress would love to try it

7. There is no way...

that the next Senate will have enough votes to remove President Clinton. It is conceivable that an impeachment bill could pass in the House but removal from office takes 67 guilty votes in the Senate. That's not going to happen.

10. They knew they couldn't pass the impeachement of Bill in the senate but

the went through the dog and pony show anyway

It's not about a serious exercise of Congressional powers, it's about humiliating a hated president

They've done it before

I'm just curious how soon after the election they would try it with Hilary and you can anticipate that some form of corruption charge or even treason would be bandied about

[Thinkingabout]

8. Hillary has a Teflon back, if the Republicans did not attack her she would think they were dead.

9. Hillary.

Spelling really is important.

[Monk06]

11. I've been typing it Hillary all week then correcting to Hilary for some reason

Old age I guess Don't trust my own spelling anymore

Which wasn't great in the first place

13. They try this Clinton and Obama should

appear jointly with every House member, Senate member, and recognized VIPs from both parties that answers her call. They should lay out how this behavior is ridiculous citing historical context. She might get both Bushs, Powell, etc.

[Orrex]

14. Obama should give her an across-the-board pardon before leaving office

[prayin4rain]

21. Oh, I didn't see your post before I posted. I agree. nt

[applegrove]

16. Oh I think Republicans are more likely to impeach Trump in his first

few months in office if he wins. That is why Pence went out there with the conservative platform and did not defend Trump during his debate.

[Coyotl]

17. Ha! First, they have to win their elections.

[former9thward]

18. People on this site predicted Rs would try to impeach Obama for 8 years.

Never happened.

[LWolf]

19. And we knew this long before she was nominated. nt

[prayin4rain]

20. I think Obama should pardon her before he leaves office for any and all

crimes real or imagined. It's the only way that she'll be left alone to govern for a couple of years.
