Yeah, which feels like a slippery slope into political takeovers, especially since the speaker of the house is 3rd in line.
If Republicans were guaranteed to keep the President and VP slot, you'd see an impeachment much more easily. I don't think any Republican will want Pelosi a heartbeat away from the Presidency unless Trump's crime was so clear and egregious that 2/3 of the country wanted him gone.
- mikeash 8y agoThat’s been the standard since the adoption of the Constitution. If it was a slippery slope, you’d think we would have slipped down it at some point in the past 230 years.
- everdev 8y agoSeems like we're always finding new precedents to set like the "nuclear option" in the Senate. And 230yrs is pretty young for a country.
- checkyoursudo 8y agoRemoval requires 2/3 votes of the Senate, so that seems pretty much like what you are asking for here.
- coryfklein 8y agoIt's pretty damn hard to slip down a slope that requires 2/3 of the senate to agree with each other.
