A good first step for Chancellor Merkel would be to resign.
Good first few steps for the German People would be to jail her pending trial for treason, and then get to work rounding up her army of Muslim rapists and murderers, while securing the borders of their once-safe homeland.
Probably should remove herself from the country, and then resign, because the steps by the German people may be to forego any trial, and go right to the sentencing phase. Deservedly so I might add.
