The contentious topics procedure applies to this article. This article is related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, which is a contentious topic. Furthermore, the following rules apply when editing this article:
You may not make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on this article (except in limited circumstances)
Changes challenged by reversion may not be reinstated without affirmative consensus on the talk page
Violations of any of these restrictions should be reported immediately to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard.
Editors who are aware of this topic being designated a contentious topic and who violate these restrictions may be sanctioned by any uninvolved administrator, even on a first offense.
With respect to the WP:1RR restriction:
Edits made solely to enforce any clearly established consensus are exempt from all edit-warring restrictions.
Edits made which remove or otherwise change any material placed by clearly established consensus, without first obtaining consensus to do so, may be treated in the same manner as obvious vandalism.
In order to be considered "clearly established" the consensus must be proven by prior talk-page discussion.
Reverts of edits made by anonymous (IP) editors are exempt from the 1RR but are subject to the usual rules on edit warring. If you are in doubt, contact an administrator for assistance.
Whenever you are relying on one of these exemptions, you should refer to it in your edit summary and, if applicable, link to the discussion where consensus was clearly established.
There is some nascent chatter that a planned House probe into the administration's COVID-19 response is actually the beginning of a second impeachment proceeding. Nothing from any reliable source yet, but just a head's up that editing of this article may become more active again. BD2412T18:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I think it's best to remain consistent with the previous titles in this series. Also, impeachment is its own point of historical fact. Biographies of Bill Clinton, for example, will refer to him as an impeached president, not an acquitted president. BD2412T22:01, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is he has already been impeached. There is no article "Efforts to impeach Bill Clinton". Of course, the hoi polloi use "impeachment" to mean "boot out the bum". But we cognoscenti who write Wikipedia need to be more discerning. If there is another impeachment drive by the liberal lemmings, this will become even more confusing for the schoolchildren and taxi drivers that read this page. "Was he impeached or wasn't he?" I hear them cry in my mind's eye. "Why are they trying to impeach him again?" The purpose of Wikipedia is to inform and educate, not to bamboozle.--Jack Upland (talk) 10:12, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Strictly speaking, even an impeachment leading to a post-presidency trial in the Senate could (in theory) result in a conviction and a prohibition against holding future office. This would, in turn, open up the 2024 election to a lot of potential Republican presidential candidates, so there are definitely those who would benefit politically from such an outcome.
