What's with all the Barack and Nancy flapdoodle about impeachment being "off the table?"

Last time I checked (Civics, 8th grade) -- wait for it -- The House of Representatives has the power to impeach the President and Vice-President.

Nobody else!

What the Senate thinks about impeachment is quite immaterial. Their opinions on impeachment are meaningless.

Once the President is impeached, however, the Senate tries him/her for the crimes listed in the impeachment proceedings.

(Is everyone missing this distinction?)

5. Did you know that the title of "Speaker of the House" refers to the House of Representatives?
