Closer to election the better.

till Jan huh. Hmm

Yup and they'd need 2/3 majority to swing it the other way

To btfo the claims.

not gonna happen

@Mersenne Till January? Man I thought we'd be done with this shit before Christmas

So we were expecting to loose the house on this one

@MoistBread it happened a couple hours ago

We expected it

Nah, federal holidays and Congress spending time with families

20 or so Democrats would have had to vote no to get a different result

Can't knock em on being human

As it went, 2 voted no and 1 voted present

@dizzy did any vote no?

Nvm

Put it in perspective - The Senate has 53 Republicans and 47 Dems.

and one additional voted no in round 2

To get a majority to remove Trump from office - you would need *19* Republicans to flip on the President.

Good luck with that.

@Mersenne why 19?

for the 2/3 necessary

I thought it was simple majority?

Ohhh

supermajority

Nope, 2/3 majority

66 Senators need to be in favor

Different for the senate?

Than the house?

House is simple majority, Senate is 2/3 majority.

impeachment is dead

Either Way it's still a Win win.

Checks and Balances are a bitch

Even better

That's them checks and balances the Democrats were waving in our faces all day lol

Pelosi should not have gone with it without bipartisanship

Get checked, get balanced

@SuperHeroDeluxe what's that word?

Bipartisanship

Is it magic?

A pew research study shows that the democrats have been moving further and further left.
