It’s been shown to be absolutely meaningless since Nixon. And i bet he regrets resigning in whatever special hell was reserved for him. Every impeachment vote/proceeding has been am absolute joke. There is no actual mechanism to boot the president out of office if he refuses.
Edit: sorry i completely dodged your original question. Congress has to begin an impeachment process or what? There is mo actual consequence for anyone who chooses not to
It was due to a concentrated effort at establishing FOX, et al as propaganda sources, that have enabled him to get away with such blatant criminality that Nixon couldn’t have dreamed of. Republicans set out specifically to prevent them having to do that ever again, knowing full well they’d be committing crimes in higher office in the future.
again it does not matter. they have an onus. just like the cop. impeachment was put in to use for problems like this and the onus is there regardless of if it works. They still need to do it. Similarly its an abuse of power to impeach when not warranted or on a technicality like clintons.
