To truthfully asses the situation, the Obama congresses have never had the raw political power to remove Obama from office. Although the House has the power to impeach with room to spare, there was never the power in the Senate to convict.
Although removal was much desired by many of the people, the political power to do so never existed.
I wonder if the founding fathers actually realized the method was next to impossible and favored an off the books coup that included a finality not present in impeachment
When McConnell starts screwing around with trump, he will not know what hit him...Trump will use the “bully” pulpit to lay McConnell out before the American people....
They certainly have the power of the purse strings.
