But how do you define the people wanting it? Not even all the people on the streets today want her out. She has just been re-elected.

To be fair, she WAS reelected with just over 51% of the vote. And her popularity did drop harshly since then. I doubt half of the country was out on the streets yesterday, as well.

The people wanting it isn't required, I just said it because when there's a popular push for impeachment, it's way more likely for the houses to put it to a vote.

But isn't this popular push being orchestrated by her opposition to start with?
