I'm sure some of them want to, but it needs to be a majority and they can't do it without Pence: quote:Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

quote:Hovering over the White House was Mueller’s inquiry, which deeply embarrassed the president. Woodward describes Trump calling his Egyptian counterpart to secure the release of an imprisoned charity worker and President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi saying: “Donald, I’m worried about this investigation. Are you going to be around?” This one is particularly something considering how the only reason Sisi has his job is because he overthrew the dude who used to have it.

It's working for the moment but the next person inspired by Trump to run on blatant white supremacy and authoritarian rule is likely not going to be in the middle stages of dementia. I have no trouble believing that the rabidly loyal base of bigots the Republicans have spent decades curating would have zero problems with kidnapping or murder of the "enemy of the people" media personnel and calling the Democrat party "radical leftist terrorists" that need to be outlawed. They're already begging for it at his Two Minute Hate rallies, they ll be endlessly loyal to anyone actually does it. This particular Frankenstein's monster isn't going away any time soon, the bigger question is how many of them there are and if there can be a political course correction before the only thing left that matters is how many villagers pick up torches and pitchforks.

Pence would probably govern pretty similarly to Bush, including surrounding himself with seasoned neo- conservatives with ample experience at crafting and vetting policy, albeit with more of an emphasis on culture wars and less of an emphasis on invading Iraq. So take that as you will. psydude fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Sep 4, 2018 |

And in the meantime, here’s how our next SCOTUS justice is behaving at his confirmation hearings: https://twitter.com/fred_guttenberg/status/1037023269923287041 Like, the absolute minimum thing to do as a human being, let alone a prospective appointee to the highest court in the country, would have been to return the handshake and say “I’m sorry for your loss” not this bullshit. If Trump does get impeached, is there any kind of mechanism to undo his appointments?

But its never been done because thanks to the ones who get caught just step down quietly. I hope they instead pass a law that the supreme court is now 7 seats and the two most recent appointments are no longer on it.

Impeachment and removal of any appointee still takes the majority of the house and 2/3 of the Senate, so it's incredibly difficult to do even with a supermajority.

This right here is the worst thing (okay, maybe not the worst worst thing but it's up there). It's like every politician from both sides took the experience of the Iraq War vote to not ever take a position because it could be used on them later. The slightest bit of consequence meted out on their decisions frightened everyone into supporting vagaries and decorum. It's why we have complete chambers full of nonsense spouting fuckalls. Or just the Republicans disdain anything to do with government and will bury themselves in a bottomless well of bad faith if it means not having to take a tough vote ever or do anything that might hurt a fellow team player.
