    You are right as far as you go but the point is that it takes more than a majority to convict in the Senate--it takes 2/3rds and Nixon did not have enough Republican votes in the Senate to be acquitted. Clearly if Nixon could have counted 34 votes in the Senate, he would not have resigned. Clinton, as you know, was actually impeached but he was acquitted in the Senate. In Obama's case, a bill of impeachment will not even be introduced. Obama is still riding high.

    That has nothing to do with the real issue of why help was not sent. If Obama's golf clubs had been in Benghazi, he would have sent the Marines.

    Apparently you are unaware that the US does not have an embassy in Benghazi; it is a consulate.

    Just to clarify - was that "cut" from the current operating budget or from a proposed increase?
    Or let me ask it this way - what was the budget for 2008, 09, 10, 11?

    Of course I am aware, but all diplomatic outposts fall under the same budgets.
