I disagree that impeachment is broken. It's the Senate that is broken because the Senators failed to vote to impeach and instead voted fir party and self interest over the law and country. as far as Clinton is concerned, I'd hardly compare his lack of morals and abuse of the office to take advantage of Ms Lewinsky with the outright corruption and abandonment of the country and his duty by Trump. I just don't see it. I don't sppyof it and he should have been disciplined but impeachment for his lack of morals is a bit much. I sense others may feel differently simply out of dislike of Clinton and his policies....

No, the system is being failed by the Senate.

Clinton was impeached for lying about what he did (not technically for what he did). He was under oath, and he lied. This one lies every breath and doesn’t believe in any oath save a loyalty oath to him

I came here to say exactly this. I will add that Impeachment is still an option, but seems less likely to result in removal from office unless the Senate is controlled by the other Party. Or the violation is so egregious… (but wait a violent insurrection didn’t meet that so not sure what it would take…)
