> with impeachment as one of the only remaining checks against that

impeachment appears to be a wet noodle of a check that carries all the weight of nanny saying "you've been a very naughty boy".

Two impeachments and a felony conviction didn't check squat, if I'm not mistaken.

he was impeached by the house, but the not the senate. if the senate had also voted to impeach he would have been removed from office.
