> Yes, I know. And you’re wrong. Impeachment begins and ends in the House. A successful impeachment is one that passes in the House. An unsuccessful impeachment is one that does not pass in the House. It’s flat out wrong to say that an impeachment that passed in the House is somehow “unsuccessful”. What the Senate does is a separate issue.

Bah. Legalistic quibbling. When people say “Impeached” they mean removed from office, not just charged.
