(3,088 posts)But just among us girls, expulsion is a much lower hurdle. With impeachment, you must get the majority of the house, plus you must get 2/3 of the Senate. Expelling a House member requires only 2/3 of the House.
Nonetheless, it is completely accurate to say members of Cngress cannot be impeached. And rhetorically speaking,, we should use that as a spear rather than a shield. That is, a good response would be:
"It is comical that Trump, the twice-impeached President, doesn't even understand that members of Congress cannot be impeached. The founders saved this most extraordinary punishment of impeachment for traitorous members of the executive branch."

(6,634 posts)when the special election is held to fill the seat, can they run again and be reinstated? Because true impeachment disqualifies permanently while expulsion may not.

(10,486 posts)used to display "Read the Constitution" protest signs aimed at respected Constitutional scholar President Obama because he wanted to give them healthcare.
Funny how they don't seem to realize or gaf that Pissolini has never read it, nor would he comprehend it if he tried.
Also, they're fine with the Extreme Court twisting it.
