Reply #14: You have to have a majority in the House to impeach.

You have to have two-thirds in the Senate to convict.

If the Clinton impeachment taught us nothing else, it taught us that impeachment is a purely political process. It doesn't matter whether or not the President has committed high crimes and misdemeanors. All that matters is whether the opposition party has the votes and is willing to use them. The Democrats don't have the votes, so pressuring them to use them isn't going to help. It's a waste of energy better spent elsewhere.
