Do any of them understand that impeachment does not mean "Removed From Office"? Clinton was impeached in the House of Representatives. But the Senate did not remove him from office. And impeachment does not mean a "Do Over" of an election. If a president is removed from office by the Senate, the Vice President becomes the president, and can pardon the president who was removed from office. Nixon decided to resign from office instead of facing impeachment. Vice president Gerald Ford became president and pardoned Nixon.
