Rose is mislead again. Impeachment is a legal remedy to illegal behavior by the Executive. There is no recourse for "punishment" in a matter of "bribery, treason or other high crimes or misdemeanors". In fact, any "punishment" is specifically prohibited by the Constitution. The executive is not supposed to be just "some guy", member of the public 'sittin' in da wite houz'. He is charged with specific duties and an oath by which to carry them out. He is the executor of the nation's laws. If he violates the laws specified in the Impeachment clause he is to be tried and removed from office. These women are on drugs. Forget this. Lets just repeal the 19th Amendment. In the brief 75 yr.s women have had the vote their current loyalties show they are wholly unqualified to debate issues of national import.

>>Are you saying that it's better for the nation to have a person who has committed multiple felonies, while in office, remain as president... rather than remove him/her from office ?<< There are felonies and there are felonies, and while self-righteous people can hold up their chins and say "The law is the law", the fact remains that some felonies hurt people and others don't. Common sense tells me that having Clinton removed from office would be more harmful to our country then letting him finish out his term, despite the widely-held belief (one that I don't share) that he is guilty of committing one or more felonies.
