Will and Grace Ask for 6 Hero Senators

“Will and Grace” actors Debra Messing and Eric McCormack voiced their disapproval of President Donald Trump in the way many of his critics have — with a call for his impeachment.They responded to an opinion piece published by Newsweek that screamed in all caps on the page: “TRUMP IS JUST SIX SENATE VOTES AWAY FROM IMPEACHMENT.”And while the article very clearly outlined the process, noting that the president must first be impeached by the House of Representatives (where it would likely be far more difficult to get the majority to vote against him) for a Senate vote to be relevant at all, the headline and feature photo do not reflect that at all.McCormack started the train:

Trump is just six Senate votes away from impeachment. And Republicans are deserting him fast | Opinion https://t.co/XTF22FPn22 pic.twitter.com/jOerihVzyE

That’s when people began to point out what the two stars had missed:

Except it's the House that impeaches, not the Senate, and they're a lot more than 6 votes away in the House

This is why you Hollywood morons should stay out of politics. The HOUSE has to act (thank God)! What exactly did he do wrong?

@EricMcCormack Impeachment takes place in the House of Representatives, not the Senate. Government. How does it work?
