I’m sure they want him removed from office as well. Thinking that “impeached” means “removed from office” is a common error, but it is an error nonetheless.
ETA - I am also sure they would like him to be impeached even if he is not removed from office, just to inflict as much political damage as they can. Whether or not that would happen is problematic - it didn’t seem to with Clinton.

Yes of course they are. But when people want someone Impeached, they dont want just a hearing in the House, they want him removed from Office.
“Impeached” is simply shorthand for “Impeached and Removed from Office”.
I was going to reply to this, but I see that Shodan has already said it well enough, so I’ll just quote him for emphasis:
My cite is the common usage of the term, which Shodan also points out.
You’re nitpicking. Common usage isn’t always correct or precise usage. Shodan also pointed out that it is a common error. Also, that people may want him impeached merely to inflict political damage to him, whether he is removed from office or not.
I would like to see a cite that actually says that impeachment is synonymous with removal from office. An actual link, if you don’t mind, not merely what you think it means.
Is there a reason for this discussion to be bump-worthy after six weeks when there are plenty of other places to discuss it?
I don’t hear an answer I like I’m going to direct you fine people to other threads and close this one.
And he also points out it’s an error:
Here’s what started this:
This post contains an error. I understand your reluctance to admit it, since as we all know, the penalty for an admission of error is forcible tattooing of your face with the words, “I was wrong.” (I assume this to be so based on the fervid reluctance to admit error displayed here). Nonetheless, it’s an error.
Not now, when we’re hot on the trail of settling the DrDeth mistake on the meaning of “impeachment!”
I know we’re professional pedants here, but come on. When people say they want a president “impeached,” it’s short for “impeached and removed from office” and you know it.
Sure!
But that doesn’t make it true to say, “In fact , No President has ever been Impeached (yes, I know, due to a odd wording in the Constitution, pedants will insist that the first phase is actually “Impeachment” and thus ClinTon and Johnson were ‘Ipeached’ [sic] but since that words means “removed from office” no they werent)…”
In other words, I wouldn’t go after someone for casual misuse; I would (and did) go after someone for elevating his misuse to an insistence that “in fact” his misuse was actually correct.
“President” should be capitalized.

Exactly my point.
I was absolutely correct about the "pedants will insist " part, you must admit. 
Common “errors” are actually Common usages, as a descriptivist will agree.
Yes, the GOP inflicted so much* political damage* on Bill Clinton… wait…
For all intensive purposes, you are correct. Irregardless, I find your argument to have little affect on me.
Mea maxima culpa, ya got me there.
Thank you, I offer you my most enthusiastic contrafibularities.
Bricker, I am anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctious to have caused you such pericombobulation. Allow me to facilitate your velocitous extramuralisation from this thread.
Eschew obfuscatory sesquipedalianism!
Enough.
