Newby impeached!
« on: April 01, 2008, 09:53:41 am »
Happy April fools day.

I don't know if it ever went public but last year we did technically impeach him, but never truly voted him out. Good fun!
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

To impeach is to start a vote for removal.

Example:
The United States government started a vote in congress to remove President Clinton from office, but the vote failed.
Clan x86 started a vote to remove Queen Newby from office, but the vote failed (or was called off?).
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

You are not only retarded, but fucking retarded.

Clinton was impeached, as was President Johnson.  Neither were removed from office, however.

Technically, the word impeach has an even looser definition: to accuse. It's a very high accusation, though.

One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

You said impeachment was starting a vote to remove someone, that is wrong.  Impeachment, specifically in the U.S. House of Reps., is simply a majority vote.  It isn't a vote for removal, it's more of what you might compare to a Grand Jury in the regular judicial system.

Conviction of the bad behavior is what removes him, that's another vote.

Absolutely none of these, from a glance over, say you're right. :|

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

The House of Representatives must first pass "articles of impeachment" by a simple majority.

Then the Senate votes to convict (2/3 required to pass).


The House just says "OK, now the Senate can try him" just as Grand Juries say "OK, now the trial court can try him."

Impeachment IS formally being charged, but it ISN'T how you said "starting a vote is impeachment."

The link is established in that I just very recently used that very same idiom.
But yes, people do strive to be like me.
