It’s become evident that the Constitution has a fatal flaw and this evil degenerate son of a whore is all over it.
There is no check on the power of the POTUS save impeachment, and if the votes aren’t there in the Senate, POTUS is in effect a dictator who can literally orchestrate an invasion by foreign nationals, and there isn’t a damn thing anyone can do about it.

The right will take power for maybe the last time in 2016.

This opportunity must not be wasted.

The American marxist movement must be destroyed using all means necessary.

That means putting in place the SOP to ensure the marxists NEVER control ANY branch of FEDGOV EVER AGAIN.

Time to do what needs tom be done, because this is the END.

Well said except I don’t think that the right has a prayer of gaining power even if the GOP wins every single contest.

It’s become evident that the Constitution has a fatal flaw and this evil degenerate son of a whore is all over it.

The fatal flaw, if it is one, is not in the original framing but in the passing of the 17th amendment.

Given that impeachment is the way to indict a sitting President, conviction in the Senate was the removal with the expectation that the jurors were the representatives of the States.

Remember that the President was supposed to preside over inter-state issues, the common defense, and foreign affairs on behalf of all the states. The parties to the federal government were the states, the federal government to which the states delegated limited powers, and the People who ordained and established the Constitution.

Prior to the 17th amendment, Senators were beholden to their state legislatures that sent them. If a state wanted a President removed, it was likely that the Senator would vote for the state's interest. After the 17th amendment, the Senate became party-based, not state-based. Today, the Senate votes along strict party lines, and a Senator will not vote to remove a President of their own party no matter what their home state wants.
