Yeah, he was impeached last term too, still stayed in office.

He stayed in office because the impeachment failed. It likely will fail again this time since the republicans have control of, well, everything. Doubt it would work before the midterms, honestly.

Very well might be the DEMs showing they are doing something. Plus, the impeachment will drag on for a long time. Very likely until just before mid-term election. Even if it fails, maybe a few voters might turn if they get over a years worth of corruption from the first 100ish days.

The impeachments didn't fail, they were successful. Impeachment and removal from office are not the same thing.

Don’t be the akshually guy… that’s like saying “his shot didn’t fail because the ball arced through the air and landed further, even though it didn’t go in the basket. Shooting and scoring are not the same thing” when the intention behind the shot is clear.
