It is like an indictment, TA.If impeachment is simply the act of voting to do this, and removal from office is irrelevant, then impeachment as an act is in and of itself irrelevant.
The fact that someone is found not guilty does not negate the fact that they were indicted.
The fact that Trump, the guilty bastard, was not found guilty in the Senate does not negate the fact that he was impeached 2 times.
That is why he often is referred to as the two times impeached, 34 times convicted felon.
