<\/a><\/p>\nTwo-thirds of North Carolina Republican voters would support immediately impeaching Hillary Clinton if she\u2019s elected president, according to a poll released Tuesday.<\/span><\/p>\n Conducted by Public Policy Polling, the survey<\/span><\/a> drew from the responses of 425 self-identified Republicans likely to vote in the 2016 presidential primary. Along with various questions about the Republican candidates, it asked voters if they would either \u201csupport or oppose impeaching [Clinton] the day she takes office.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Sixty-six percent of respondents said they would support immediate impeachment for Clinton, while only 24 percent said they would oppose it. Ten percent said they were not sure, according to the poll.<\/span><\/p>\n Impeachment is not the removal of a president from office \u2014 rather, it\u2019s the formal process of accusing a public official of unlawful activity, which may or may not lead to removal from office.<\/span><\/p>\n Tuesday\u2019s poll did not ask its Republican respondents why they would support impeachment for Clinton, though it likely has something to do her use of a private email server<\/span><\/a> while Secretary of State.<\/span><\/p>\n Though the Justice Department has not found evidence of wrongdoing<\/span><\/a> on Clinton\u2019s part, prominent Republican politicians have been frequently accusing her of criminality. Presidential candidate Donald Trump called<\/span><\/a> her actions \u201ccriminal\u201d; presidential candidate and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal said<\/span><\/a> Clinton was \u201cliterally one email away from going to jail.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Republicans in Congress have also been using Clinton\u2019s emails to try and prove that she mishandled the events leading up to and following the 2012 terror attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Those Republicans have undertaken eight separate Congressional investigations<\/span><\/a> into Clinton for that purpose. None have found substantive evidence to warrant an official accusation of wrongdoing by the Department of Justice.<\/span><\/p>\n The idea that Clinton should be impeached on her first day of office is not new. Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) recently suggested<\/span><\/a> Clinton should be impeached for her use of a private email server while secretary of state.<\/span><\/p>\n
