4. Not constitutionally it doesn't.

However, unless we can get a 2/3 majority in the Senate that will vote to convict, impeachment and removal isn't going to happen. Right now, I don't see a path for that to happen.

We can, however, if we try, get a majority in the House in the mid-terms. That will do some good.

But, we need to focus on that and on the 2028 election, and we need to focus hard on both. Unless we can get rid of Trump and enough Senators to ensure that we have at least a 60-vote majority in the Senate, it will all be for naught.

We need to get our shit together or we may just lose it all, permanently. That's going to require Democrats to get along with each other and to ensure that everyone who is progressive is on board. Can we do that? I sure hope so.
