Watergate hearings took over a year (April 73-July 74) until articles of impeachment were drawn up. Nixon resigned within weeks of the Articles having been drawn up.
And this was with a Congress that had been Democratic for around 20 years at the time. Pelosi is coming in on the heels of the most corrupt and neoconservative Congress in memory. And she can't count on the Senate, which is being held hostage by Lieberman.
We're only 6 months in folks.
