Do you think Trump is going to get impeached?

By the House because the Democratic base will not allow any other outcome.

Not by the Senate, because there isn't enough admissible evidence, and the Republicans won't allow it.

@PrivateHell so what exactly does that mean if that were the outcome? Would he still be President?

So Privatehell...you are saying he didnt obstruct Congress in the inquiry?
@SW-User yes, he would still be President and still have all the rights and power thereof. Only the Senate can remove or punish a President.
@SW-User the impeachment is like an indictment. Then the case is heard by the Senate and they become judge and jury

@PTCdresser57 never said any such thing. Just making an observation. (FYI... One of my pet peeves is for someone to tell me what I am saying or thinking.)

@PrivateHell Do you mean that Democrats that prefer the rule of the law, protecting the Constitution and future Presidential abuses of power, and understanding that there's NO CHOICE for the co-equal branch of government but to do the job they swore an oath to do?
I'm cool with that.

@PrivateHell
Not by the Senate
The power of impeachment rests solely with the House.
@Ynotisay @PTCdresser57 like I said... Just an observation. Believe me, I have followed all the Trump scandals in depth enough to report on them for the news myself. But I don't come to SW to debate politics (I have Quora for that), and this site does not have enough space for me to explain my views.
@QuixoticSoul Technically true. But without a guilty verdict in the Senate, the House impeachment means nothing. Pointing out that only the House can impeach is basically an argument of semantics.

@PrivateHell Being impeached is not nothing - Johnson, Clinton, and Trump will have an asterisk next to their names for the rest of American history, and remain examples of conduct that the presidents are simply supposed not partake in.

@PrivateHell isnt enough admissible evidence?? open admissions of guilt aren't enough?
