So Grace, what would be your penalty for someone who uses the public airwaves to call for the assassination of a presidential candidate?

If he oversteps that, how do we get him out of office? And I don’t think there is a legal means available. I think it will be a terrible, terrible position the American people will be in to get Trump out of office because you won’t be able to do it through Congress.

A non-legal means of removing an overreaching POTUS would also mean a member of the upper military arresting POTUS for dereliction of Duty since he is commander in chief and would be part of the “command structure”. The military could detain him indefinitely as well, effective removing him from command structure, this happens in coups a lot.

Tell a whole LOT that a lot of people’s first thought would be “Assassinate” word.

Basically the military would be forced to remove him from power via coup. That doesn’t mean they would actually have to shoot POTUS, just detain him.
