Again no president has every been removed by impeachment. The Dems can do as they please but it’s a double edged sword. Johnson served his full term, Clinton served his full term. And with Election Day less then 11 months away they can vote how they like.

Congratulations on a purely partisan vote where three Democratic members voted against it and one abstained.

yeah I'm no expert, but I would've thought the elevators speed hadn't been limiting combat ops!

I'm not in the MIC Conspiracy though I think ridiculously fast elevators which don't work is an example of creating over-engineered and overpriced 'solutions' to make the Pentagon pay even more;

the companies sure have teams of spin-doctors who come up with fancy 'products' like LCS mission modules concept, so called stealthy 16k-displacing Zumwalts and other game-changers, for example recently the USN asked for like 3b for unmanned 'fleet' without having ConOps! I don't believe it's Admirals creating this type of nonsense, I think it's marketing departments and their consultants in action, selling EDITED
