Actually no, he IS impeached. The senate is where the issue of removal happens.
Donald J Trump is, officially and for the history books, the third to be impeached as President.
Pelosi thanks Democrats for 'moral courage.' Fox News correspondent Todd Piro reports.
Consider it a twist on the old question about a tree falling in the forest with no one to hear it: If the House adopts articles of impeachment but never sends them to the Senate, is a president truly impeached?
A Harvard law professor, who also served as a Democrat-called impeachment witness, answered with a resounding “no” in a column that speaks to the deep dilemma House Speaker Nancy Pelosi faces as she sits on two articles of impeachment against President Trump.
Pelosi, D-Calif., is apparently using the delay as leverage to extract favorable terms for a Senate trial. But Noah Feldman wrote for Bloomberg that an “indefinite delay” would pose a “serious problem”—as impeachment only technically happens when the articles are transmitted to the Senate.
“Both parts are necessary to make an impeachment under the Constitution: The House must actually send the articles and send managers to the Senate to prosecute the impeachment. And the Senate must actually hold a trial,” Feldman wrote.
“If the House does not communicate its impeachment to the Senate, it hasn’t actually impeached the president,” he continued. “If the articles are not transmitted, Trump could legitimately say he wasn’t truly impeached at all.”
Pelosi signaled late Wednesday after the House passed articles of impeachment—on abuse of power and obstruction of Congress—that she wanted reassurances that the Senate would hold a fair trial, likely involving certain Democrat-sought witnesses, before sending over the articles.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on the floor Thursday seemed baffled at Pelosi’s move to withhold the articles, arguing that the House speaker doesn’t have the leverage she thinks she does.
“Some House Democrats imply they are withholding the articles for some kind of leverage,” McConnell said. “I admit, I’m not sure what leverage there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want. Alas, if they can figure that out, they can explain.”
He added: “Following weeks of pronouncements about the urgency of the situation, urgent situation, the prosecutors appear to have developed cold feet. Democrat prosecution seems to have gotten cold feet and be unsure about whether they want to proceed to the trial. Like I said, a very unusual spectacle, and in my view, certainly not one that reflects well on the House.”...…….More

Trump impeachment: President demands immediate Senate trial

of course he does. He and McConnel plus the Trump senate will acquit him......
Of course the delay in sending the articles to the senate is being played and interpreted to favor Trump.........Implying he is not impeached until the articles have been passed on. NOT true........ but the current talking point. Trump will be over that one like a bad rash. Polosi made it clear why she is waiting........ and she is justified. She is trying to make it as proper as possible.......given what McConnel has said........( that he will not be unbiased.....).......so which ones are planning a sham court? The fact is He IS impeached....... That cannot be reversed .........even thought Trump is going to try . But all that seems to matter to the population is the economy.........and when dollar signs are in front of their eyes.........they will accept the worst of the worst in character traits int heir POTUS. The upshot is tat the US cannot claim to be a nation of values............ unless they are talking monetary values only........ they have made their choice.......and probably repeat that choice. While the world watches the US turn into something still to be defied. ...and has front row seats for this theater. Whee oh where would Donald be without his lawyers??

Take a Valium. You are way to strung out right now to understand anything.Cliffy didn't say all the overwhelming evidence has been heard and if you didn't get convinced by now you never will?
So it's time to rule on the evidence presented isn't it?
Cliffy was talking to someone else about something else.
Take a Valium. You are way to strung out right now to understand anything.
why.....so the senate can run a kangaroo court to acquit Trump. That is what Trump is counting on.That is why Trump wants it done NOW........and then he can gloat that he beat the impeachment thing........but that won't be true. He is stained for life as it stands now. He is now part of the Impeached club of POTUS's........He might be realising that he cannot control everything ......and this makes him even angrier.Couldn't agree with you more phuck Pelosi and send it to the senate now to make it official.
When I said 'Trumps kids are stealing from charities" some white natty said to prove it and then Cliffy said that no matter how much proof etc etcDon't like me agreeing with you?
Trump attacked the evangelical magazine Christianity Today by calling it 'radical left,' and it shows just how meaningless the phrase has become for himSaints be praised. A leading evangelical magazine has called for Trump's impeachment. An early crack in the "I gave you anti abortion laws" wall?
https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/19/politics/christianity-today-op-ed-trump-removal-office/index.html
"Whether Mr. Trump should be removed from office by the Senate or by popular vote next election—that is a matter of prudential judgment," Christianity Today's editor in chief, Mark Galli, wrote in the op-ed. "That he should be removed, we believe, is not a matter of partisan loyalties but loyalty to the Creator of the Ten Commandments."
Galli, who told CNN's John Berman on Friday he is leaving the publication, continued, "We believe the impeachment hearings have made it absolutely clear, in a way the Mueller investigation did not, that President Trump has abused his authority for personal gain and betrayed his constitutional oath. The impeachment hearings have illuminated the president's moral deficiencies for all to see."
"None of the president's positives can balance the moral and political danger we face under a leader of such grossly immoral character,"
so they are seeing Trump for what he is.Trump attacked the evangelical magazine Christianity Today by calling it 'radical left,' and it shows just how meaningless the phrase has become for him

It's hardly a surprise that Trump doesn't take kindly to criticism, and a call for his impeachment from the standard-bearer publication of his most robust coalition of supporters has to sting.
But in calling Christianity Today "far left," Trump laid bare a key tactic deployed by him and his inner circle.
That is, any person or entity that dares to criticize the president must be part of an extraordinarily broad "radical left."
President Donald Trump attacked the US's preeminent evangelical magazine, Christianity Today, as "far left" after its editor in chief, Mark Galli, published an editorial calling for the president to be removed from office, either through impeachment or at the ballot box next November.
Christianity Today, which also supported the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998, was founded by the hugely influential Rev. Billy Graham in 1956.
In two tweets on Friday, Trump said: "A far left magazine, or very 'progressive,' as some would call it, which has been doing poorly and hasn't been involved with the Billy Graham family for many years, Christianity Today, knows nothing about reading a perfect transcript of a routine phone call and would rather have a Radical Left nonbeliever, who wants to take your religion & your guns, than Donald Trump as your President. No President has done more for the Evangelical community, and it's not even close. You'll not get anything from those Dems on stage. I won't be reading ET again!"
Galli responded to Trump's tweet in real time, during an appearance on CNN's "New Day."
"It's factually inaccurate that we're far left," he said, adding, "We rarely comment on politics unless we feel it rises to the level of some national or concern that is really important, and this would be a case."
