That's all well and good, but members of congress cannot be 'impeached'. This petition is useless.
'Expelled'? Yes. Indicted? Arrested? Convicted? Yes. Yes. Yes. 'Impeached'? No.

Actually, the troll factor is bordering on EPIC.

They need to get their legal terms correct for this to be of any value. It would have to be a petition for expulsion from congress not impeachment.
But that is not a bad idea to petition for expulsion, the fact is if the committee on ethics found evidence of "any" violation of the law they could recommend a vote to the senate for expulsion, which requires a two thirds majority. 2/3rds would be tough to achieve though in the senate and impossible in the house as it sits now.
So, in essence, this petition is, legally speaking, a total waste of time.
