Democrat who was once impeached will vote on Trump impeachment

Code
When the House of Representatives votes on the articles of impeachment against President Trump on Wednesday, one of the Democrats certain to vote in favor is Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings.

In doing so, Hastings will become the first sitting member of Congress to vote for the impeachment of a sitting president after having himself been impeached — and removed from office.

Hastings was a federal judge when he was impeached by the House for accepting bribes in 1988. The following year, the Senate stripped him of his judgeship — but did not prevent him from seeking other federal offices. He was elected to the House on the same day in 1992 that Bill Clinton won the presidency. Hastings has been a member of Congress ever since.

But isnt the vote count in the Senate trial the metric we should be looking at? After all, it is the vote count in the Senate that determines how close or far an impeached president really was from being ousted.


You're correct that the final determination has to be made in the Senate, which holds Republican majority. As others said, it would be about % of the party. We would be looking at this needing Bi-Partisan support.

There's no way he gets voted out. A few Democrats have already decided to join the Republican party or vote against impeachment (though a small few, but we will see just how many, I don't expect many that would have backlash towards you from the Democratic party). Based on what I saw, those Democrats being in a Trump district has had some massive pressure. On the flip side, it would be such a mistake to vote for impeachment as a Republican, it would be political suicide as others have already stated.

I believe that in the senate 20 of 53 republicans have to vote to oust Trump for it to happen.


/e That's assuming ALL the Dems vote to oust.

when trump fails to get impeached just remember, we showed clear evidence he deserved it but, never believed the corrupt would be swayed

when he doesn't get impeached that will not prove any sort of innocence, it will make the guilt that much more deserved

thanks

Clinton obstructed justice and should have been removed from office. As should Trump. Strictly if you go by the letter of the law. But alas and for better or worse, impeachment is a political process and not a legal one.

But I'm a rule of law kind of guy.

Clinton did a lot more than obstruct justice. 11 referrals from the Starr report into 4 charges. 2 passed house, impeaching Clinton. they went to senate and he was acquitted on both charges. Clinton then said sorry...

Trump is not even being charged for obstructing "justice".
he has been given a false charge of obstruction of "congress". (which is actually called: separation of power / checks and balances)
