their approach to Impeachment is something that maybe we should consider adding at the Federal level, namely requiring Presidents to temporarily step aside (with the VP substituting?) after being impeached and until the subsequent trial is completed. Seems like if you've done something to warrant impeachment and may potentially be thrown out of office for, you shouldn't be allowed to keep your hands on the wheel and/or able to intimidate/obstruct with the powers of the Presidency. It's just a thought........

1. If that were the rule at the federal level, the GrOPers would impeach every Dem POTUS every

couple of weeks, for manufactured, bogus, or no reasons at all.

3. I have no clue why some Democrats bend over backwards to give credit to Republicans.

And COMPLIMENTING REPUBLICANS ON THEIR APPROACH TO IMPEACHMENT? Really?

You do realize that Republican fucker was in office, committing ethics violations (at best) and crimes (at worst, and most likely) during his years and years in the position, right? And it was Republicans covering for him all this time? And they only finally decided to do this because they didn't want to get hit with the label of having to approve taxpayer funding of his multi-million dollar settlements to quiet his accusers/whistleblowers about his corruption, yes?

And, as if that wasn't enough, just to check: you want to change federal law -- the Constitution really, but bear with me -- so that anytime Republicans are in charge in the House under a Democratic president, they can vote to remove him (even temporarily) as president by a simple majority vote from their crazy, extremist, fascist caucus? The same Republicans that said they need to find someone to impeach as "dessert" for them passing what they called a shit sandwich of a debt ceiling agreement? Those Republicans?

Once again, really?

Did you really think this all through?

4. Disagree. There is no meritocracy in the Congress.

5. That sounds like a terrible idea. Republicans would constantly impeach Democratic presidents for

specious reasons, whenever they controlled the House. There is no sort of list that spells out impeachable offenses, it is whatever a majority of the House decides at any given moment.

7. This was exactly what I was thinking. /nt

6. Seems like a terrible take to me.
