Finally? He's already been impeached. Twice.
The next step would be to have him removed from office, but that requires a 2/3 majority of the Senate to agree on it.
Yeah, but saying impeached and convicted in the senate just doesnt have the same sting. It is what I mean so, yeah, I dont know. You're 100% correct.
That he hadn’t been impeached and convicted proves that America’s constitution is now a failure. The founding fathers tried and did okay for ~250 years, but the document does not work anymore.
The document is only as good as the people elected to execute on it.
Yeah, in the end of relies on good faith across all branches, which is obviously not where the US is right now. Mostly because representatives are isolated from their constituency as opposed to initially where you would have to actually deal with the people in your district.
A large portion of that has to do with Congress limiting their size back in 1929. It turned the House into a second Senate, undermining its purpose. Without that limit Congress would actually represent constituents because the divisions would actually be small enough to effectively do so. Instead we have districts representing millions of people and others representing just a hundred thousand but with the same voting power. The House no longer represents the population and hasn't for nearly 100 years.
The Supreme Court should have been expanded as the federal judicial circuits did. There should be a Justice overseeing each federal circuit, of which there are 12 now. The precedent was set in 1807 when they added a 7th justice to match the new 7th circuit, and 1837 when it expanded to 9 for the new 8th and 9th circuits, and 1863 expanded to 10 for the 10th circuit. They retracted to 7 in 1866 to limit Andrew Johnson and then back to 9 in 1869 after Johnson was out of office. And it has sat there ever since. That clearly was not intended to be the case, but here we are.
Yep, agreed on all points.
You mean for a third time? Fat lot of good the first two did
I mean yes please do it. But will anything happen? But yes please do it.
Impeachment has been rendered unimportant and ineffective thanks to trump.
Hmm. No. Impeachment(with conviction) is the the shock collar wrapped tightly around trumps balls as enshrined by the supreme court.
Do you think the 6-3 republican dominated SCOTUS will do anything to stop trump?
They already ruled on it. Would be hilarious to see them about face on their most unpopular ruling because it was used as they intended.
OMG Liar Liar. One of my childhood favorites!
yay that'll show him. Another impeachment to add to the collection
Jesus. I know everyone is exhausted but you all doth protest too much.
Nothing but total anarchical chaos will be good enough, there are plenty of people here who would cause genocide if they were in control.
At least half of all US voters is okay with all this, no?
Vote suppression was a very real problem in this election, notably
