It's supposed to be hard to do. Impeachment is intended to be reserved for egregious violations or actions that most of congress (and by proxy, the citizenry) agree on.

it’s supposed to be hard. not impossible. and it’s pretty clear at least to me that the authors of the constitution very clearly intended presidents like trump to be thrown out of office.

[luxuryballs]

the constitution loves presidents like Trump, because he actually acted as a constitutional president while in office instead of being a figurehead for manufacturing consent on behalf of the global hegemony

If only Congress were a proxy for the citizenry, but gerrymandering has ruined that.

But it’s the Senate that is the limiting factor and there is no gerrymandering involved there. Gerrymandering has a lot more effect on state legislatures in general.
