Useless. Time for the Social Democrats to form their own party.

    I could be wrong but I think Impeachment votes follow voting majority rules, not yeas against totals.

    This impeachment is political ammunition, we shouldn’t shoot our shot without any chance of nailing our target.

      I thought the elected representatives get to vote on every issue that is raised. Do they have a limited amount of votes in the US?

        No, they don’t have to be present at all and when they are present then they have the option to vote Yea, Nay, or Abstain. I’m saying if only 50 people in the house vote total and 26 of them vote yea then depending on the nature of the vote it can pass.
