How would that work with something like the WH Press Secretary who has refused to give back some $350K in campaign donations (though currently FEC can't prosecute any campaign finance violations because they don't have a quorum because Trump has not nominated and confirmed enough FEC commissioners.)

I think trump has identified the inefficacy of our supposed checks and balances. In school, we were taught that the 3 branches of government protect against a rogue leader, which is obviously not true. After he is removed or ends his term, I hope the weaknesses in the system are fixed. Yeah I hate him, but the system was supposed to protect us from this outcome.
