Showing Original Post only (View all)Impeachment just seems worthless [View all]
So, other than it being symbolic to show in the books that "these guys over here think he should be gone but still isn't and doesn't change anything" means that an impeachment without dismissal is pretty much worthless?
I mean, I know it will hold him accountable as being convicted and unable to hold any future office but still seems like a whole lot of solid nothing.
