Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In an astonishing turn of events that has left political pundits and historians alike rubbing their eyes in disbelief, a groundbreaking study has uncovered a set of obscure and rarely discussed impeachment tactics employed by the Roman Senate over two millennia ago. The research, conducted by a team of rogue historians and a group of quantum physicists (because, as one researcher put it, "Why not throw science into the mix? We might as well solve climate change while we're at it."), suggests that these ancient methods could hold the key to modern political gridlock, particularly in the realm of impeachment proceedings.

The study, published in the esteemed journal "Classical Claptrap and Modern Nonsense," details a little-known procedure called the "Vote of No Confidence in a Deity." According to lead historian and self-proclaimed "time traveler," Dr. Julius Caesar Nostradamus III, the Roman Senate would occasionally impeach gods, demanding they prove their divinity by performing miracles or engaging in public debates.

"Imagine the scene," Nostradamus III exclaimed during a fiery press conference. "A pantheon of deities, summoned before the Senate to answer for their cosmic misdemeanors. Zeus himself was once put on trial for 'unauthorized weather patterns' and 'excessive thunder noise complaints.' It was democracy in action!"

The study's implications for contemporary politics are staggering. Democratic lawmakers, already adept at invoking the spirit of classical oratory, have hailed the findings as a "game-changer." Senate Minority Leader, Senator Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez-Cleopatra, declared, "If the Romans could impeach gods, surely we can impeach a president who tweets at 3 AM!"

On the other side of the aisle, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell-Augustus, known for his stoic demeanor, was overheard muttering, "The framers intended for impeachment to be a solemn, almost divine, process. If the Democrats think they can turn it into a Roman circus, they're sorely mistaken."

The study's quantum physicists have also proposed a "Temporal-Spatial Impeachment Device" (TSID), which they claim can send impeachment articles back in time to affect historical events. "It's a theoretical construct at this point," admitted Dr. Albert Einstein-Archimedes, "but if we can get it to work, we could potentially impeach Caesar before he ever crosses the Rubicon. Or, you know, prevent Nixon from ever becoming president."

In a rare moment of bipartisan agreement, both parties have called for an immediate halt to the research, citing the potential for "historical paradoxes" and the "unknown consequences of meddling with time."

As the political world grapples with these revelations, one thing is clear: the ancient Romans knew a thing or two about making a spectacle. Whether this newfound knowledge will lead to a more enlightened political discourse or simply provide fodder for late-night talk show hosts remains to be seen. But one thing's for sure—witnesses in future impeachment hearings might just be expected to walk on water.
