and we need to get rid of him Right Now. Since there is only 1 constitutional means to be rid of Trump, what doe "Right Now" mean? Is the inference that some extra-Constitutional means be used because although Trump can easily be impeached he won't be convicted in the Senate. So why be coy about how we are supposed to be rid of Trump other than impeachment and conviction that would force him from office?
