tell you what shitlicker, google might be good enough for you, but impeachment proceedings are not impeachment, otherwise, Nixon was impeached.
please note this FROM THE HOUSE, approved by Nutsackers such as yourself that were elected:
http://history.house.gov/Institution/Origins-Development/Impeachment/
The gravamen lies here:
The House's Role
The House brings impeachment charges against federal officials as part of its oversight and investigatory responsibilities. Individual Members of the House can introduce impeachment resolutions like ordinary bills, or the House could initiate proceedings by passing a resolution authorizing an inquiry. The Committee on the Judiciary ordinarily has jurisdiction over impeachments, but special committees investigated charges before the Judiciary Committee was created in 1813. The committee then chooses whether to pursue articles of impeachment against the accused official and report them to the full House. If the articles are adopted (by simple majority vote), the House appoints Members by resolution to manage the ensuing Senate trial on its behalf. These managers act as prosecutors in the Senate and are usually members of the Judiciary Committee. The number of managers has varied across impeachment trials but has traditionally been an odd number. The partisan composition of managers has also varied depending on the nature of the impeachment, but the managers, by definition, always support the House’s impeachment action.
note that until the senate convicts, there is no impeachment, there is an impeachment resolution, there is an impeachment proceeding, impeachment actions, no impeachments. Impeachments would remove from office.
The Use of Impeachment
The House has initiated impeachment proceedings more than 60 times but less than a third have led to full impeachments. Just eight—all federal judges—have been convicted and removed from office by the Senate. Outside of the 15 federal judges impeached by the House, two Presidents (Andrew Johnson in 1868 and William Jefferson (Bill) Clinton in 1998), a cabinet secretary (William Belknap in 1876), and a U.S. Senator (William Blount of North Carolina in 1797) have also been impeached.
Then, here they shift the value of the word, making it worthless, just like holding someone in contempt of congress. Laughable asswipe, all of it. The nutsackers and goons and thugs of the right are very quick to accuse, but turn out to be factless, inept partisan shitbreathers, 87% of the time. And that seems about right. So, if impeaching means simply accusing, then Nixon was impeached, you have been impeached, we all have been impeached, its a big club and means nothing, it is typical nutsacker histrionics.
Glad we settled that. You win, fuckwad. Live with it all and be satisfied, including the impeachment of nutsackers, or live with none of it.
It is partisan masturbating at its finest. But like any other thing the nutsackers do, essentially meaningless.
