minus-squareMyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up10·22 hours agoHe’s been impeached it didn’t do squat
minus-squareSocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·15 hours agoIn each case, he was acquitted on all counts by the Senate. Gotta make it stick.
minus-squareMyNameIsIgglePiggle@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·13 hours agoOh I thought he got fully convicted but just dabbed, screeched yeet and became president
minus-squareSocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 hours agoOne impeachment came just as he left the presidency so it switched to a “can you impeach an ex-president?” debate.
minus-square/home/pineapplelover@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-220 hours agoHe didn’t, it was attempted but never got passed Edit: I mean he was impeached twice but he got acquitted, I’m not even sure how that is legal cause it shouldn’t.
minus-squareCmdrShepard42@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·15 hours agoRepublicans blocked any evidence from being presented in the trial, and the Democrats took it lying down which is why he was aquitted.

minus-squaremichel@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·19 hours agoOnly two thirds of the senate https://www.senate.gov/about/powers-procedures/impeachment.htm And to start the impeachment trial you just need a normal majority in the House
