118. The reason is I believe it is just too close to elections to ever have impeachment.

Impeachment is quite a lengthy process. Goin through sub committees and committees, then debate on wheather to vote to debate, vote to debate, debate, vote to end debate, and then the impeachment vote. By the time the impeachment vote hits, it'll be too close to the general elections by then. That and the fact there are no 2/3 votes to convict, it's just not worth it.
