The constitution does not require nor does their oath mention loyalty and faithfulness to a person. Donald Trump does not owe them anything even though they have kissed his a** and been loyal and faithful to him rather than to the country and constitution. They were not supposed to be loyal or faithful to him and should not have an expectation of that back.

Even in their exploration of what is wrong with him that is troubling to them, they focus only on terms that are antithetical to what office holders in a democracy should value.
