Rule 9 only applies when the majority party allows it to apply. By refusing to allow a vote period. The democrats have tried and been shot down each time. The only way without civil war to get rid of Trump is to gain the majority then force the vote.

and waiting for the mid-terms is NOT an option, for many rock solid reasons (we have no idea if there will be any fair elections at all next year is one of them.) and...

At this point the midterms are the only path legally we can hope for. If that fails, then it could very well be civil war.

Nope. We can fight. We can force our members of Congress to do their fucking jobs. or we can be cowardly shithead and give up like you.

And you can't force congress to do your bidding when the majority don't listen to you. Your rhetoric is all well and good, but you have no idea what it would really take to force anything.

I don't oppose impeachment. I actually am for it. Or the use of article 25 to remove him as unfit. Either will do. But just removing him is not enough. He must pay for his crimes.

I support attempting legally to remove, and if that fails, then weigh my options as to what I can and will do versus what forces will oppose me. That's not cowardly, it's called wisdom and planning. Something you seem to be sadly short of.

We gave Pelosi a majority in 2018 and she did ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOTHING with it. She actively enabled the fascist takeover by normalizing the corrupt dirtbag's crime spree. We need to learn from that really dumb mistake and force them all to advocate for impeachment right now.

During his first term Trump was impeached twice. He was not removed because it takes a two-thirds vote in the senate to do so. The Republicans refused to remove him. Again, CSPAN is free to look up and see the actual votes.

The only legal way to remove a tyrant is the impeachment process It's in the Constitution by ignoring that process you're letting a fascist dictator reign That's rolling over and playing dead.

1st, I am not in congress, so my voice is just as useless as yours to make any major changes to government without voting. 2nd, there are other legal ways of removing a tyrant that are constitutional. But again it takes a majority to vote on them.

You know the 25th is far more difficult to implement than impeachment. So now you're just making up nonsense. Why troll me? What do you gain from this? What does anybody gain aside from the fascists? Stop protecting them.

Again. You have to have the votes. Otherwise it won't happen. And since the entire republican party is opposed, and they hold the majority at least until the midterms it won't happen until the democrats can take the majority with enough votes to push it through.
