Is impeachment...

[Pianomahnn]

Updated due to my being a fucking idiot and got owned so bad: What does the impeachment of the President of the United States mean?

I swear, no one knows what this really means. It bothers me so much I had to make a poll!

Actually can't you impeach a person? like a judge?

 

[Pianomahnn]

I think so, but that isn't very clear according to the definition. I suppose I should have left off the mentioning of the Presidency for total accuracy. However, in this context I think it's safe to say that when the word is mentioned no one thinks "impeach the judge?!?!"

I sincerely apologize for my lack of foresight in this matter.

 

[Doublebase]

no one thinks "impeach the judge?!?!"

Wrong! Your poll is flawed.

 

[DOMS]

Good Lord...I can't believe I'm going to say this, but...

doublebaseowned!!!

 

[Pianomahnn]

All it takes is one stinking word added to the subject of the poll/thread title to make the ownage all go away. Man, I dabbed so bad on that one.

 

[Pianomahnn]

ha, fixed the fuck out of that shit now!

To impeach is to bring charges against. It doesn't necessarily follow that the elected person is removed from office.

Thanks for telling everyone. Now my poll will be inaccurate.

Yep. No conviction is needed for to be called impeachment.

 

[BigDyl]

doublebaseowned!!!

That's impossible.

 

[DOMS]

That's impossible.

That's what I though, but it happened.

Just be glad it didn't happen to you or me.

 

[Squaggleboggin]

Yep. No conviction is needed for to be called impeachment.

Indeed. The House brings charges against the person. Then there is a hearing with the Senate being the convicting (or not convicting) jury, needing a 2/3 vote to convict. Chief Justice of the Supreme Court serves as judge here and it's held in the House Chambers. And I always thought I sucked at government class...

I think it should mean that when a majority of the population thinks the President is fucking incompetent he should get the fucking boot....
