There are 233 Democrats and 197 Republicans, 1 independent and 4 vacancies…how do you believe the vote will go down? Let’s have some fun and guess the outcome? We’ll then visit this thread at the end of today and see who is right?
Personally, I’d like to believe that there are some politicians left that actually will do what’s right, based on factual evidence, in spite of their political leanings.
I’m going with 197 Rs voting no plus 25 Democrats for a total of 222 against and 208 plus Amash bringing the for total to 209. What say you?
What was the house vote on impeachment in the Clinton impeachment?
Votes largely fell on party lines
The first article alleging Clinton lied under oath when he testified before Independent Counsel Ken Starr’s grand jury about the details of his extramarital affair with Lewinsky was adopted on a 228-206, largely party-line vote. Only five Democrats voted for that article, and five Republicans against.
Article II failed 229-205, with many more Republican defections.
But the GOP majority again prevailed, 221-212, on Article III accusing Clinton of obstructing justice by tampering with witnesses and taking other steps to conceal his affair with Lewinsky.
There will be fewer than 10 Democrats who vote against Trump’s impeachment. I will go out on a limb and say 1 or 2 Republicans will vote for Trump’s impeachment.
Realistically, I say 197 Republicans against; 1 Independent against; 3 Democrats against.
I think it is interesting that the Democrats are full steam ahead in insuring that President Trump will be remembered all throughout history! I would have thought they would have wanted him forgotten.
