5416 Impeachment DOA! Senate passes muster saying it’s constitutional but not enough to convict.

That's what "table" means... Means kill it Edit: This was a motion by Rand Paul. So in fact, 5 Republicans did vote IN FAVOR of Impeachment (by way of shutting down Paul's obstruction). But the headline is reading into the votes to infer that ONLY 5 Republicans will vote to convict, when 17 will be needed. So it's not DOA, there will be a trial, etc. It's just that in the final vote, there is unlikely to be a conviction. permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 23 ▼ – TheBigT03 23 points 78 days ago +23 / -0 Think they were tabling something paul introduced permalink parent save report block reply ▲ 21 ▼ – freedom2520 21 points 78 days ago +21 / -0 Right...
