The Indiana Constitution allows for impeachment of the governor.

**The Indiana Constitution allows for impeachment of the governor.**
He’s not breaking the law unless it’s something else.

**Braun hasn’t been that bad. A couple of missteps but he learned quickly from it. Now Todd Young is another story.**
Uh, Young is up this year. Where’s his primary competition?
