I hope he's about to find out, and that the answer is YES.

(52,243 posts)abuse of office and dereliction of duty were the founders biggest concerns.
i don't know if they discussed it much, but they probably weren't overly worried about what to do should a president commit "ordinary" crimes like murder or perjury in a civil suit, figuring that they already had a check on that in the form of elections.

(1,493 posts)We can and should protest every single day. We should just cut to the chase and have signs about impeaching Trump and holding a new election. But, we've got to get Senators and Congress people and others who have the ability to DO SOMETHING to actually DO SOMETHING.

(906 posts)Why they are out there protesting they just start chanting "Impeach that man"
go down to the capital buildings chanting over and over "impeach that man" (he does not deserve the title President)
post it all over facebook "Impeach that Man"
Re tweet his tweet
and hope that those in charge actually remember that they have a moral obligation to the USA and do their job not to allow someone who with "gross incompetence" to lead our nation.

We should be filibustering everything and proposing good laws, even if republicans won't let them leave committee. We have to fight with the limited weapons we have.
Above all, we should be managing the media much, much better.

(52,243 posts)Easy enough with the help of their wonderful propaganda network. replace it with something remarkably similar to Obamacare but with fewer protections, less tax on the rich, and more tax on the poor. Keep the mandate but call it a tax deduction for buying insurance. This is equivalent to the mandate thanks to the higher tax on the poor.
They just have to insist that it'a completely different from Obamacare.
