5. I think impeachment is too easy
Thu Nov 3, 2022, 09:32 AM
Nov 2022

Only a majority in the house is needed? That makes it too easy to just impeach for any reason. Didn’t tie shoe right, impeach. I think they will impeach three times just because. I’d rather they change the rules to 60 percent of the house at least.
