(7,715 posts)If I recall during the Clinton impeachment, House discussions started in earnest in September 1998 and the House voted to impeach just before Christmas that year (a truly horrific time, and I remember it well).
While I wasn't really around for Watergate, the House Judiciary Committee started its impeachment inquiry in June 1974 and the House was scheduled to vote on impeachment around August 20, 1974. The House Judiciary Committee passed three articles of impeachment against Nixon in late July 1974, but the full House vote was aborted by Nixon's resignation on August 9, 1974. Even Nixon himself knew he would lose for sure in the House and very, very likely in the Senate if the process had gone all the way through.
Folks, there's PLENTY of time.
