Last Saturday evening, Representative Blake Farenthold, a Republican, told a small Luling, Texas, crowd that "if we were to impeach the president tomorrow, you could probably get the votes in the House of Representatives to do it." Farenthold opposes impeachment; he says it would fail in the Senate.
