MODERATORS
As an international observer, I would argue yes.
Firstly, Trump's position as president violates the Constitution (the 14th Amendment Section 3 - the insurrection disqualification clause). Then there is the chaos he has unleashed since inauguration, with plenty of clear overstepping of authority. The other branches are either unwilling or unable to stop him, so yes.
