So if the House Dems try to impeach but fail, has Trump been "impeached"?

Presumably if they vote to impeach and it passes the House the media and the leftist history cretins will say he has been "impeached".

If the House votes to impeach, then the president is impeached. Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton were both impeached. Both times by a Republican House and for weak reasons too.

If impeachment passes the house...he IS impeached.

He is not removed unless and until the Senate votes to convict.


Impeach would be like "indicted".....you have been indicted. If not CONVICTED, you do not go to prison (for example)

Yes they can say they impeached Trump. They’ll cover themselves is jizz from the celebration of bringing Trump an impeachment trial. They’ll consider it a victory even without a senate conviction. And they would overplay their hand like usual and get demolished in 2020 when Trump’s support grows.

Bill Clinton became immensely popular once he was impeached.
