Why don't Americans impeach Trump? (lemmy.org)

I'm from Korea, and we impeached our president last year, mostly because he declared martial law, but he was also a terrible president, and no one really liked him being there, even his own party.

Why can't the U.S do the same, if Donald Trump is so bad? Why are some Americans even supporting him?

We did. Twice.

Impeachment is essentially the official accusation. This then has to go to trail in the Senate, and the Senate has never been un-corrupt enough to convict him.

In the words of Gomez Adams, "Well aren't you a lady killer?" "Acquitted!"
