New suggestions of impeachment edit
There is some nascent chatter that a planned House probe into the administration's COVID-19 response is actually the beginning of a second impeachment proceeding. Nothing from any reliable source yet, but just a head's up that editing of this article may become more active again. BD2412 T 18:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
- Maybe the article should be "Efforts to convict..."--Jack Upland (talk) 21:18, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
- I think it's best to remain consistent with the previous titles in this series. Also, impeachment is its own point of historical fact. Biographies of Bill Clinton, for example, will refer to him as an impeached president, not an acquitted president. BD2412 T 22:01, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
- The problem is he has already been impeached. There is no article "Efforts to impeach Bill Clinton". Of course, the hoi polloi use "impeachment" to mean "boot out the bum". But we cognoscenti who write Wikipedia need to be more discerning. If there is another impeachment drive by the liberal lemmings, this will become even more confusing for the schoolchildren and taxi drivers that read this page. "Was he impeached or wasn't he?" I hear them cry in my mind's eye. "Why are they trying to impeach him again?" The purpose of Wikipedia is to inform and educate, not to bamboozle.--Jack Upland (talk) 10:12, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
- Now they're trying to impeach him again. BD2412 T 05:23, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
- Yep... Even though he only has a fortnight to go... Lemmings...--Jack Upland (talk) 00:44, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
- Strictly speaking, even an impeachment leading to a post-presidency trial in the Senate could (in theory) result in a conviction and a prohibition against holding future office. This would, in turn, open up the 2024 election to a lot of potential Republican presidential candidates, so there are definitely those who would benefit politically from such an outcome.

Cleanup edit
I have removed the cleanup tag here as the discussion it linked to has been archived. If anyone has other grounds for cleanup feel free to re-instate the tag and state the new issues. Xyl 54 (talk) 02:23, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
- I think we need to move to a chronological structure. Otherwise the 2021 impeachment will come before the 2019 impeachment.--Jack Upland (talk) 04:30, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
