Ok then, so his statement that there will be enough republicans in the senate to initiate impeachment proceedings is patently false.

And also, I found a copy of the constitution and read it. It says,
"The President, Vice President, and all civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors." The House of Representatives has the sole power of impeaching, while the United States Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments."
So, there are no grounds, either. I think Mr. Norquist needs to study up on his constitution before he mouths off any more.
