minus-squareMyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·18 天前He’s been impeached it didn’t do squat
minus-square/home/pineapplelover@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-218 天前He didn’t, it was attempted but never got passed Edit: I mean he was impeached twice but he got acquitted, I’m not even sure how that is legal cause it shouldn’t.
minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·18 天前Impeach is the term for the trial thingy not getting removed.
minus-squareCmdrShepard42@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·18 天前Republicans blocked any evidence from being presented in the trial, and the Democrats took it lying down which is why he was aquitted.
minus-squarebender223@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·18 天前Underlying that is also they’re scared shitless of his violent cult followers
minus-squareLit@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-218 天前3 times is the charm… 4 times is also the charm… so is 5 times. Keep impeaching him.
minus-squareSocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·18 天前In each case, he was acquitted on all counts by the Senate. Gotta make it stick.
minus-squareMyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 天前Oh I thought he got fully convicted but just dabbed, screeched yeet and became president
minus-squareSocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·17 天前One impeachment came just as he left the presidency so it switched to a “can you impeach an ex-president?” debate.
minus-squareQuadhammer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·18 天前Iirc you need like 3/4 vote to remove from office
minus-squaremichel@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·18 天前Only two thirds of the senate https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/impeachment.htm And to start the impeachment trial you just need a normal majority in the House
