Not impeaching this President...
Will tell future Presidents that they can do whatever they want and not worry about the consequences.

Maybe some of us want the Democrats to go 100%.
Maybe some of us just want the Democrats to try.
And maybe some of us don't care.

But, I don't think any of us should encourage the corruption and illegal activities of future presidents to occur.

4. How about forever
I think they pressed the panic button, they saw America as becoming this large diverse multi-cultural society where the Pat
Robertsons would not be king. They want to freeze time to the 50s so this would never happen.

2. I agree, Dems are saying it will take too much
time away from other agenda items.

Sure didn't take too much time away from the Rethugs,even if they did not get the votes to throw Clinton out.

IMO, this gang will only fold if we keep the pressure on from every angle, That's what make Conyers so tough.
He keeps on coming at um.

Where are the rest of them ~ asleep?

3. Firstly you have to have a President who is above politics.
This can be achieved by having the president chosen by a joint sitting
with a 66% majority. Then the president effectively just signs legislation into law.
Of course the most powerful parliamentry figure would be whatever Nancy Pelosi is.
The system is now broken, just as Jefferson predicted.
I'll stop now.

6. impeaching and acquitting the President
will tell future Presidents that they can do whatever they want and not worry about the consequences.

People keep talking about impeachment, but they never discuss conviction, or how that's going to occur.
