    Right so why bother impeaching him anymore. It makes the legislative branch look like a bunch of idiots.

      Because impeaching is step one in removing. Procedure matters in these things. The one President who was almost convicted (Nixon) left when it became clear that public opinion of him was going to force the Senate’s hand to convict him. It’s all political, but it’s the only legal mechanism that exists.

        I really don’t think Trump cares about public opinion.

        The government doesn’t work that way anymore. We’re not gonna Woodward and Bernstein our way out of this.

        Also: since when does Trump care what’s legal?

    • Like the 60+ separate votes/bills to remove the ACA when Republicans didn’t have the support and here we are a few years later with them running the entire government.
