Without Senate control, the only effect would be to make them look bad. Obviously, I'll be laughing on the other side of my face if they take the senate in 2014, but that doesn't look likely.
And I can think of few things that would contribute more to the Democrats retaking the house than a vote to impeach the president.

(26,549 posts)The Senate is the "jury". And you need a 2/3rds majority to convict, not a simple majority.

(2,140 posts)That some one would think they might be so ridiculous as to try,would be as silly as imagining they'd repeal "Obamacare" 37 times...
Oh...Wait...
