I think some Dem said he planned to split his vote, so that could be the second nay

It was nay on obstruction though for the splitter. Two others were expected to be nay on both.

Those 2, and Tulsi if she ends up being a No Vote, will only empower Trump who will say "My Republicans were completely united and the DEMOCRAT PARTY couldn't even get that! Sad!"

The independent is a Republican who switched over, proving again that they're the only ones interested in being politically brutally mercenary, because he didn't stay Republican until it was over, and the Democrat who's switching to Republican is waiting until after the vote

It's fine for completely uncontroversial votes - sadly, republicans have made every single vote in the House controversial so nothing gets done.

It’s worth noting the Dem leaving the party is doing so AFTER this vote so he shows up as a Dem no vote.

There's no limit as far as I know. I saw an article earlier saying that they might impeach him again before the election whatever the Senate does.

Yeah, the House just does the investigation and makes the recommendation to the Senate. The Senate does the conviction. Just because they recommend the president for one offense doesn’t mean they can’t recommend additional articles of impeachment for different offenses.

Edit: I’m not savvy on the exact terminology, but that’s basically how it works. House impeaches on an offense, Senate convicts. House can impeach on any other offenses as they see fit. Then those go to the Senate.

i wouldn't say that. johnson's impeachment didn't remove him but was an important check on executive power for years to come

just the very act of impeachment is enough to shift the balance of power

A lot of people are manually recording their vote with the clerk, as I think that goes directly into the record. The vote won't close until everyone's done; nothing requires them to stop it at the time limit.

Post-impeachment, the people who hate trump will continue to hate trump, and the Nazis who love trump will continue to love trump. Trump can open up his rear end and drop hot turds all over Twitter about how a couple Nazi-sympathizing Dems said he wasn’t a bad man for committing crimes, but the people who hate him won’t pay attention.

Like this or not, Congress is about to recess for a bit before the "trial" in January.

The arguments presented today that you like or don't like or that make you sleepy are the ones we get to take into the public forum (twitter and facebook, yay!) and discuss while they're away.

Sadly, the jobs of some House and Senate members may hinge on the arguments we make with each other (on twitter and facebook, yay!).

Maybe even also the job of the orange poo poo smear.

Cool, he’s impeached. Now we still have him until 2020 and probably 2024/forever because the DNC is uh, kind of just as bad. Maybe if we’re lucky we get Buttiguerhdbd or Biden and things can just return to normal lovely instead of turbo lovely
