But the Senate ultimately decides if the president is removed or not, right?

So with the republicans keeping the senate, that won’t happen? I’m seeing lots of celebrations of “enlightened” libs that impeach is coming.

You realize a President has to actually do something impeachable first, right?

Impeachment is a house thing. Senate can vote to convict and remove president from office.

House could move to impeach but I really doubt they will. It would be a bad move on their part and a waste of time. Senate would throw that shite in the trash can

Impeachment requires 2/3 of the House vote for Imoeachment. The Dems didn’t pick up that many votes.

They know this. What they're doing is to keep it in the press for months. It'll be a media circus.

House brings charges, Senate convicts. Good luck with that.

Such a vote in the Senate would require 67 votes. No fricking way

Impeachment is essentially an indictment by the House (acting like a Grand Jury)

Senate holds trial on the charges and votes to convict/remove

Just wish a single one of them would answer on what grounds they will impeach him.

"Impeachment" is the House bringing charges, they can do that.

Removal from office is done by the Senate after impeachment, it requires 67 votes and obviously will never happen.

impeachment would be a purely symbolic temper tantrum by the Democrats.

Correct.

But the goal isn't to actually remove him (since the Senate won't go with it). They'll go after impeachment precedings on him just for the sake of a controversy.

Democrats (and the media) want to beat you over the head with a lame duck president who can't accomplish anything, who has impeachment hanging over his head so that by the time 2020 comes around, voters are exhausted and ready for something different.

I guarantee they'll go after impeachment.
