Frankly I'd rather keep Trump on for the remainder of his (hopefully) one term and let him plow the GOP right into the iceberg.

Pence would have a Republican-dominated Congress, whose leadership knows him and likes him besides. It's no secret that Bitchy Mitchy privately wishes that Trump could somehow be removed, and leave Pence as president.

King Con himself is the best electoral calling card one could possibly hope for. And with the disadvantages Democrats have in the upcoming 2018 electoral map, we'll need all the help we can get.

IMPEACH. TRY. IMPRISON.

I never thought I'd say this, because I thought W was horrible. But he was NOTHING, nothing like this insane sociopath and his Ku Klux staff trying to quiet us with 'alternative facts.' WTF????

Trump OUT NOW.

Politicians need to be more specific when talking about impeachment. Robert Reich is the best when it comes to details.

President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.

He is mentally ill - plenty of evidence to have official diagnosis by independent doctor and drug test.

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.

Not by you, not by me, not by any liberal or Democrat, but by some rednecked nutfuck Trump voter from, say, Bloomington Indiana, after he realizes Donnie is not going to replace Old Glory with a portrait of Jesus as our national flag!
