text: *Ahem* anyone who tells you that impeachment is removing the Prez from office is resoundingly wrong. \n\nImpeachment is only a sort of review of the president's actions. It is sort of akin to putting the president on trial. He can obviously still retain the position, as Prez Clinton did. Or, he can be thrown out of office, as Nixon almost was. \n\nIf he remains in office, of course he still receives his benefits.
