You're the one who assigns unauthorized duties to the US Senate. Want me to bring up some examples, Destroyer?
Keep putting words in my mouth that I actually didn't say.
What you did say was a President asking the Director of the FBI for personal loyalty was like a President asking a Secretary of Defense for personal loyalty.

I love THE's expression, "You're changing your wrongness."
Want some more, Senator CR-549?

Don't you just love showing them how they can't even defend their own words?
Nothing shuts up loudmouths like handing them their own muzzles.

Why didn't you point out the post where I said the Senate impeaches? I challenged everyone, including atlkvb, three days ago. Three days gone by and you can't do it.
You must've went back and edited it, I remember reading you say it as well.
I didn't respond to your specific post or challenge to me but I did respond in that thread by breaking down how the Senate only votes to convict on the House impeachment charges.
The "impeachment" is the charge. Only the House can do that.
The Senate votes to convict or not convict on the charge.
They don't decide "innocence" as one poster suggested, only guilt or non guilt.
Clinton wasn't found "innocent" of his impeachment charges, he just wasn't convicted on them.
Typical lib. needs someone else to do the work.
Time for countryroads89 to run away like that whippet.
BTW where is that "muzzled hound" Priddy?
Don't you think it's time we let him out to run around and take a dump in countryroads89's backyard?
Can't find it, but this guy will leave a dump, pending Senate approval.
Mine isn't as good as yours (that muzzled pleather coat wearing version) but this one you posted will do for our purposes tonight.[thumb2]
Here was my original countryroads89 whippet before your "new and improved" version showed up:
STUDY!
The Senate's Impeachment Role:
The United States Constitution provides that the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" (Article I, section 2) and that "the Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments .... [but] no person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present" (Article I, section 3). The president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States are subject to impeachment.
The concept of impeachment originated in England and was adopted by many of the American colonial governments and state constitutions. At the Constitutional Convention in 1787, the framers considered several possibilities before deciding that the Senate should try impeachments.
Impeachment is a very serious affair. This power of Congress is the ultimate weapon against officials of the federal government, and is a fundamental component of the constitutional system of “checks and balances.” In impeachment proceedings, the House of Representatives charges an official by approving, by majority vote, articles of impeachment. A committee of representatives, called “managers,” acts as prosecutors before the Senate. The Senate Chamber serves as the courtroom. The Senate becomes jury and judge, except in the case of presidential impeachment trials when the chief justice of the United States presides. The Constitution requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate to convict, and the penalty for an impeached official is removal from office. In some cases, disqualification from holding future offices is also imposed. There is no appeal.
