the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

A lot of biased news articles I have been seeing have been saying "Impeach Trump". Anyway, my argument has been metaphorical from the start. If you claim the speed limit doesn't apply to you then you can drive over it, most people do. Maybe you'll get away with it, maybe you won't. If you don't give a crap about our government then you can do whatever you want until you get thrown in jail. If you have a Scottish army behind you then maybe you can do whatever you want so that your wives don't get taken away from you on the night of your marriage.

"Men fight for me because if they do not, I throw them off my land and I starve their wives and their children."

The Republicans have a majority in the House:  238 (R) to 193 (D) with 4 vacancies (435 total normally).  It would take MANY Republicans to join Democrats to vote in favor of impeachment.  The evidence would have to be blatant, such as lying to a special prosecutor under oath (Bill Clinton style).

If impeached, he's not automatically removed from office (also Bill Clinton style).  The Senate would have a trial, and the verdict would have to be a finding of guilty, and a penalty of removal.  The Senate also has a Republican majority:  52 (R) to 46 (D) plus 2 (I)  (100 total + VP to break any ties)

I'm going to go out on a limb and say Trump will not be impeached during his first term.   :geekdanc:
