I'm looking forward to the word "trump" to become common vernacular for idiots, thieves, etc. Perhaps it translates well into other languages.

They keep letting these politicians off. . . pardoning them . .. they face no consequences for their bad actions.

The Senate votes to convict or to find not guilty.

Dolt45 could be indicted on various state and federal charges, and brought to trial, but only after he leaves office.

I suppose "Electing Someone Else" would be one way.

What are some others?

The VP and the cabinet could (and should) remove him for being mentally unfit for office. Would probably require support of Congress, but I see fewer and few people in the GOP willing to say this guy isn't a clear danger to the US.

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.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days 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. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

- Impeach. Don't wait for Mueller's report. He's impeachable now with offenses in plain sight and the Mueller report is likely to be delayed or suppressed by the DOJ for months.
- Convict in the Senate. The GOP will turn on him. We can get 67 votes.
- Indict. There's no real controversy about indicting him once he's out of office.
- Convict. No way this idiot could win over a jury.
- Jail. No plea deals. Lock him up.

I want this miserable motherfucker to suffer for his crimes against our country. This traitorous piece of shit, and his entire disgusting brood need to pay smartly for their crimes, whether they be against the country or simply "white collar crimes."
