    This is me NOT holding my breath. I could see it in the house but the senate would NEVER have enough votes to convict.

The reason for his impeachment was "concealing an extra-marital affair", not exactly big potatoes here. Only three US Presidents have ever been impeached (would have been 4, but one was assassinated), 1868 Andrew Johnson for his removal of Secretary of War Edwin Stanton in violation of the Tenure of Office Act, Nixon in 1974 for Watergate, Clinton 98/99. Would have been Lincoln if he hadn't been assassinated for violating Posse Comitatus and illegally declaring martial law during the civil war (probably wouldn't have gotten anywhere since he is credited as freeing the slaves and ending the war). All four of these cases considered, IRS targeting political opponents of the president during re-election, DOJ targeting journalists without just cause and/or due process, F&F, and the Benghazi snaffu, this is 10x more serious than anything an administration has ever done... in the entirety of 237 years of U.S. History.

    I'd go past concealing and say Clinton's impeachment was for lying under oath. Extra-marital BJs isn't big potatoes, but lying under oath comes a lot closer to benghazi than what the typical response for why Clinton was impeached is. $0.02
    That said, as noted many times here, it isn't going to happen, and even if it did it goes nowhere.

    Screw obummer... He's too well protected. That said, I wish it was possible. They need to hang Billary out to dry for Benghazi to prevent that hag from running in 2016.
