Democrats finally took back the House in 2006 and barely took control of the Senate that same year of 2006, (with the 2 (I)s caucusing), but without 2/3rds of the Senate to convict, it would have resulted in the same thing we are seeing with the twice-impeached dictator.

So "impeachment" would have been meaningless.
