A half-dozen Democrats on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing him of obstruction of justice and other offenses, in a long-shot effort that stands little chance in the Republican-led House._ by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Nov 15, 2017 5:26 PM UTC  by [Melissa Locker](https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/) ## Melissa Locker Nov 15, 2017 5:26 PM UTC Whatever your feelings about the results of the [2016 presidential election](http://time.com/5022777/trump-jr-wikileaks-twitter-2016-campaign/?iid=sr-link4), it’s clear that [Donald Trump](http://time.com/5020615/tina-brown-interview/?iid=sr-link2) won. After all, he has been serving as president of the United States since January 2017\. Despite that fact, when Jimmy Kimmel’s team hit the streets of Los Angeles, they found an alarming number of people who wanted to impeach Clinton—even though she is not President. “[Hillary Clinton](http://time.com/4207609/hillary-on-the-race-her-rivals-and-angry-voters/?iid=sr-link2) doesn’t have a job to get impeached _from,_ but did that stop people from demanding she be removed from office? Let’s find out,” Kimmel asked on Tuesday night’s episode of _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ before playing the interviews his team collected on the street. When asked whether Clinton should be impeached, one man firmly said: “Yes, definitely. For what she’s done, the way that she’s kind of… more or less, with the Russian deal and all that going on, she definitely should be out.” A woman who claimed she is “not a political person at all” gave an emphatic “yes” when asked if Clinton deserved to be impeached. However when she was asked why, she shrugged: “I really have no clue.” Another man had a few ideas about Clinton’s crimes, though: “extortion, treason…if there was a Benedict Arnold law, it would be her.” Comedian Jordan Klepper also [asked people this question](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/09/the-opposition-with-jordan-klepper-sneak-peak-clip-comedy-central) (with similar results) as part of the lead up to his Comedy Central series, _The Opposition with Jordan Klepper_. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5025433/jimmy-kimmel-hillary-clinton-impeach/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5025433/jimmy-kimmel-hillary-clinton-impeach/"},"headline":"Jimmy Kimmel Found a Lot Of People Who Think Hillary Clinton Should Be Impeached","datePublished":"2017-11-15T17:26:34.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:25.530Z","description":"Despite the fact that Clinton is not currently president","url":"https://time.com/5025433/jimmy-kimmel-hillary-clinton-impeach/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Jimmy Kimmel","Late Night Television","hillary clinton","Late Night Comedy"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt35a5c8194cf6552d/6988e5fecf40a8c3edc4a3a3/impeach.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt35a5c8194cf6552d/6988e5fecf40a8c3edc4a3a3/impeach.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"impeach","caption":"","creditText":"","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5025433/jimmy-kimmel-hillary-clinton-impeach/","name":"Jimmy Kimmel Found a Lot Of People Who Think Hillary Clinton Should Be Impeached"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"A Group of Democrats Just Officially Moved to Impeach Donald Trump as President","description":"A half-dozen Democrats on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, accusing him of obstruction of justice and other offenses, in a long-shot effort that stands little chance in the Republican-led House.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/eub0OCQK/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-11-15T19:47:09.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/eub0OCQK.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5025433/jimmy-kimmel-hillary-clinton-impeach/","duration":"PT6M8S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5025433/jimmy-kimmel-hillary-clinton-impeach/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
