An application of an Amendment to the Constitution is different than the entire document. Context is important, but I see you're committed to ignoring that.

This is objectively, factually incorrect. Nixon's case was a slam dunk, 100% win. Nothing you've presented comes even close, try harder. Yes, it is theoretically possible to push for impeachment charges with a worse case. I'm arguing that would be very stupid to do, because it wouldn't work and it would destroy potential for stronger cases in the future.




You're ignoring history; Clinton was unsuccessfully impeached, to assert that no one will bring impeachment charges unless they're sure they can win is simply objectively factually incorrect.

We're not going to agree, not remotely, so just leave it at that.
