I struggle to understand how Republican congressmen can make this decision to override their “leadership” when he wants to aid and abet the enemy, but not decide to get rid of him for aiding and abetting the enemy
Edit: I misremembered the names of things, see the reply from [email protected]
Actually removing him from office falls to the senate rather than to congress, and it requires a two-thirds supermajority of senate. That was what prevented him from being removed each time he was impeached - congress impeached him, senate did nothing
Congress is both of them together, the House and the Senate. so yes while Congress did impeach him, Congress also did not remove him 🙃
Oh, my mistake, thanks!
Still has to pass the senate, doesn't it? And will Trump have to sign off on it?
