They should have at least gone on record as voting to impeach him.
People forget that impeachment has two parts One of them is to express disapproval of the president's conduct as un-American and inappropriate, and the other is to remove him from office. Clinton was impeached but was not removed from office. This used to be a big deal but Republicans turned it into a joke.
The fact that they are turning fundamental components of the governments internal functions into dismissible jokes is all the more reason people need to show what side of the line they stand on.
