I really wanted to vote "Very Unlikely" – BUT given the abject STUPIDITY of these rethuglican hate-mongers I upped it to "Somewhat Unlikely"<\/font><\/p>\n

"Very likely" – It’s all they’ve got. <\/font><\/p>\n

I voted "Somewhat Unlikely" because no one – and I mean NO ONE – can be THAT f\\\/cking racist and stupid<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

Oh, wait … we’re talking about Rethuglicans, aren’t we?<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n

Can I change my vote?<\/font><\/p>\n

I think they will try to impeach him for something, it won’t matter what to them, they just want to embarrass him if they can.<\/font><\/p>\n

It’s their god-given right! ;<\/font><\/p>\n

Of Course these idiots will try!!!! But it’s all smoke & mirrors & wasteful expense for Nothing. Clinton proved that Impeachment might hurt your feelings, but Does NOT Remove you from office!<\/font><\/p>\n

I voted very unlikely, but they sure as hell are going to try. <\/font><\/p>\n

They might vote articles of impeachment, but I rather doubt it and they don’t have enough votes in the Senate to complete an impeachment process anyway – which might make it more likely they’ll vote the articles – for show so their "base" will know how tough they are. Maroons…<\/font><\/p>\n

They are very likely to keep talking about nothing else for the next two years. They are only somewhat likely to actually do it. They are all hat and no cattle.<\/font><\/p>\n

I voted Toss-up. I really don’t think even they know. Cruz to right.Boehner to the right and McConnell stuck in the middle with a " I just want to go down in history as the man who took Obama down". My My what a dilemma. <\/font><\/p>\n

Impeach him for what? He’s doing his job – they are not. They are busy making life miserable for him and all the rest of us, too. The man only has two years left….very unlikely they could or would.<\/font><\/p>\n

Somewhat likely. It depends on how loudly their "base" demands it.<\/font><\/p>\n

Very likely! Once again, I base my answer on past performance.<\/font><\/p>\n

why would they give up a good thing?<\/font><\/p>\n

The comments make it clear that not everyone understands impeachment.  If House Republicans opt to vote a Bill of Impeachment, Obama will be impeached.  To be impeached is not the same as to be removed from office.  In addition to impeachment, removal requires conviction in a Senate trial.  Conviction requires a 2\/3 majority of the Senate.<\/font><\/p>\n

I voted \u2018Somewhat likely\u2019.  The leadership is savvy enough to realize that the frivolous charges available to them are most likely to be a public relations nightmare, and that they have no chance to get the 67 Senate votes needed to convict, if the House does impeach him.  The problem the leadership faces is that their racist hatemongering has inflamed the party\u2019s rabid base.  So the reason for my vote is that the TEAbuggery tail is likely to wag the leadership\u2019s dog, as it so frequently has.<\/font><\/p>\n
