In order to advance the measure, the Speaker of the House would have to allow it. He is an ally of the two. Then, once advanced, the House would have to vote to impeach, and the House is currently controlled by the gop, and they too are unlikely to impeach their allies.
So the chances of it getting anywhere are near-zero, for this year anyway. Next year could potentially be different.
honestly, even if the house is turned in november and they vote to impeach them, the next step is trial at the senate. it requires 2/3 of the votes, so they won’t get convicted and removed
Because conservatives control the house, which is the first step in impeachment. Even if the speaker allows it to come to a vote (he won’t) they will just vote it down.

Yeah, fair point. A Senate trial would still be useful to publicly air all of the evidence though.
Thanks. I wonder why AOC is doing this now instead of waiting until after the elections when the House may (may) flip.
So that everyone running for a House seat can get their position on record before the election, I suppose

Thanks.

Fuck!
Why would it get anywhere?
Because there is a process for these things. Now, can someone answer my question?
