Ah yes, I remember Obama getting impeached for bombing Syria.

And for that matter, Trump getting impeached for killing Soleimani, the leader of Iran, while he was in Iraq.

Soleimani was the commander of the Quds Force, a division of the Iranian military and high-ranking official but he wasn't the leader of Iran.

impeachment shmimshmeashment, i want a conviction and an escort out of the building

We haven't declared war since WW2. Everything has been AUMF, which can be done within 60 days retroactively. As always, the government is checks and balances, so if Congress refuses to exercise its powers and let the executive do whatever, it's a moot point.

I think it'd only lead to impeachment if Congress wants us gone within 60 days and Trump refuses, continues without an AUMF, and then Congress actually had the balls to push back at that point.

But if someone is more familiar with the legal processes involved here, please do correct me or add to this.

So? Nothing will ever come with it.

Can anyone explain what happened to the articles of impeachment that were introduced a few months ago?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Not happening. Next quotum

The problems, the House and Senate are controlled by the Russian supporting MAGA clowns. I believe Mango Mussolini has a 60 day window before he needs to end the military engagement against Iran. For the moment, a drunk, a felon and Signal App are controlling the US military.

So is everything else he's done. Not seeing it happen any time soon.

We have seen impeachment means fuck all though

[–] smol_beans@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Then every president should be impeached. Dem leadership wouldn't pursue this because they know it puts some of their own at risk

I havent seen the Dems fight for much of anything in a long time. I highly doubt they'd do whats needed to make an impeachment happen.

[–] Tja@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Because the last two impeachments were a resounding success?
