It's a long shot to expect that any D senators will vote to convict.But there is a possible recourse in Article V - a constitutional convention. That can be done with a simple majority in the legislatures of 34 states and a simple majority in Congress.
An amendment, if required, could do anything up to and including installing a named caretaker POTUS and VPOTUS.It would be a terrible testament to a political party to have that be it's president's legacy . . .If the states were to credibly threaten to call such a convention, maybe that would persuade Democrat senators to abandon ship.
Check, check, check and check! Wish our kids and grandkids were closer so I wouldn’t worry so much.
With this guy it could come to that. I never heard of it. They were deeper thinkers than given credit for nowdays.It would sidestep the entrenched corrupt DC Pols.
I hope the skinny, pole smoker effer tries it.
