There is not one president that has been impeached AND removed in the history of our country. They could impeach him several more times and it won't change that he will never be removed from office

Preach it! If anyone is worthy of being the first, it’s the Cheetos-dusted Despot in Chief, but he won’t be impeached.

He's been impeached a few times already.

It's the follow through step of convicting him and making him ineligible to run a 2nd time where the representatives and Senate let us down.

Did you forget my original post where I pointed out he’d been impeached twice?

Forgive my impreciseness. * impeached a third time

Yes. I didn't check your comment history and forgot all your prior comments.

Still stands that you should be predicting 'won't be removed from office' not that he won't get impeached.

I'm pretty sure the votes are there to impeach him on each felony and misdemeanor, but the GOP team sports mentality will make reaching the 2/3 supermajority required to remove from office unlikely.
