Having no committee assignments, she has nothing but extra time on her hands to write up whatever she wants, regardless of facts.

Eh, Biden has got to go anyways. If you're telling me that a phone call is enough to impeach a president, then leaving 15,000 Americans to die in Afghanistan is clearly an impeachable offense.

It generally shouldn’t be about the size of the fumble, but how and why we got there.

If you impeach presidents for relying on inaccurate but widely held predictions of how actions will play out, no president will ever stay in office.

If a president refuses to adhere to our constitutional checks and balances, intentionally risking our national interests for personal political gain, that is another matter.

I'm sorry if this comes off as rude, but why hasn't the majority of Congress taken action and kicked her out?

Because one party is beholden to mentally ill extremists and the Democratic Party are basically the Washington Generals.

The Washington Generals did beat the Harlem Globetrotters ONCE.

How man presidents have been impeached? The answer is three. Andrew Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Donald Trump (twice). Nixon resigned before impeachment proceedings began.

How many of these men were actually removed from office after being impeached? The answer is zero.

Also, most presidents usually have several of these impeachment bills from members of the opposing party lingering in the background, even if nothing ever comes from them. Both George W. and Obama had them, no action was taken. This isn't surprising and doesn't actually mean anything.

There are very good reasons that it is extremely difficult to “kick out” an elected member of congress.

Yep…..we don’t want a situation where somebody who merely disagrees with someone in Congress can have that someone “kicked out.”

She believes in things which are patently untrue…..I feel even SHE knows they are untrue, but she merely wants to be petulant and iconoclastic.

Her most famous escapade reached Australian news when she apparently harrassed AOC through the flap on her (AOC's) office door. Not much class either.

She will always be in denial regarding the results of the 2020 election.

Read the Constitution: Impeachment and removal from office are two different things.

I don't think so. I think she really is just that unintelligent.
