What were they doing prior to the vote to replace her on committees? Yes it is solved. Looks to me like the adults in the room had to take care of it because others wouldn't. 2 Link to comment

The House impeached and the Senate convicted, which included members of both parties. And he was removed from office, not just removed from a committee. https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Impeachment_Hastings.htm Quote On August 3, 1988, following an investigation by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Criminal Justice, the House of Representatives voted 413 to 3 to adopt H. Res. 499, approving 17 articles of impeachment against Hastings, the greatest number of articles in any impeachment proceeding to date. Quote The trial committee presented its report on October 2, 1989. Sixteen days later, the trial began in the U.S. Senate, with prosecution and defense given two hours to summarize their cases. The Senate deliberated in closed session on October 19, 1989. The following day, the Senate voted on 11 of the 17 articles of impeachment, convicting Hastings, by the necessary two-thirds vote, on 8 articles (1-5, 7-9). On two articles (6, 17) the vote fell short of the required majority to convict. On article 11, the Senate voted 95 not guilty to 0 guilty. Having achieved the necessary majority vote to convict on 8 articles, the Senate’s president pro tempore (Robert C. Byrd) ordered Hastings removed from office. The Senate did not vote to disqualify him from holding future office. 3 Link to comment

Darryl Issa is the guy promoting this false equivalence, so take all this with the largest grain of salt imaginable. 2 Link to comment
