I don't think they have to have 2/3 Senate vote like impeachment if acting on Rep Biggs Resolution that I shared above in this thread. The way it was introduced is called a "Simple Resolution", so there is no action required of the President and can be introduced in either the House or the Senate. It also appears since it has been referred to the House Judiciary Committee for action (25R-19D) that only a majority would be necessary. Though it is stated it is to be "exhibited to the Senate". Not sure what that means since it's not an impeachment, so there would be no "impeachment" trial in the Senate. If the Senate does take it up separately then the Judiciary Committee there is 12R-9D, and I believe it would be a simple majority also., but will be watching to see how it evolves. Either way, yes any Republican on those committees voting against removal of Boasberg per that Resolution would be a traitorous move in itself. Would be something to pay attention to and give voice to.
I can't imagine Biggs didn't get a pre-quoram in the House and possibly in the Senate as well - before introducing this Resolution.
You should read it...pretty cut and dry and includes the FISA involvement.
LauraB, you should copy and move this up in the discussion as it is very interesting and could be viewed easily by others. 👍 Substack is great for progression of discussions but the interesting threads may gets lost.
Yeah I come late to the party sometimes, since the Doc likes to post 5x a day hard to get to them until there's too many to reply to. I know the Doc is off to the races on several others and only gets to the top comments. Just now getting to your reply lol.
I'll try and remember that in the future. Thanks s r!
This will definitely prove who's a rhino or not in senate if they vote against not taking him out.
