Ok. unpopular opinion time but this is kinda dumb as congress has a specific process for removing a president which was put in specifically for a president behaving like trump. impeachment. the 25th relies on the rest of the presidents cabinet having balls but trump requires they leave them at the door when they enter his administration.
If you recall, he has been impeached twice already and yet...here we still are.
yeah and that is because of congressmen who are derelict in their duty. other congressmen should keep on doing their duty and bring up impeachment charges for everything he has done. An individual violating the constitution can't be helped and even a department is something that happens but when the administration does not punish and remdiate the violations as part of their oversight then it becomes an administrative policy to violate the constitution and that means the president himself is now responsible for violating the constitution. This outside of actual instructions for vioating the constitution and disengenously arguing that they are not when they clearly are. Many replublicans are wealthy and educated and benefit greatly from a stable rule of law society. I am hoping that it is trickling in on them that not only trump must go but republicans do. That conservates need to rebuild and find some actual priniciples if they ever hope to have a rich enough society to skim off of.
